    I also need to lose at least 50 pounds. I am at the heaviest I have been other than being pregnant. I also need some motivation and support!! It seems like the older I get the harder it is to come off.

    It's never easy at any age, but good for you for starting now :) It can be done. Don't go all out at first, start with small steps & build on those. once these small things become a habit start adding more. Remember it is not a race. This is something you need to keep doing :)

    I'm in the same boat, need to lose 50-60 pounds. Even though I tell myself 10x a day I need to get back to a healthy weight I still make horrible food choices and have no motivation to exercise because I'm always tired and my body hurts.

    I've had to really watch what I'm eating, before I put it in my mouth I actually make an effort to stop drink a glass full of water and while I'm doing that I see how much it is going to cost me in carbs and calories

    Very good thinking! I'm going to try drinking water before I eat. I chew gum, but water is even better. :). Losing weight is not easy. Keep working hard.

    Losing the weight is definitely not easy. I know that I want to feel good again in my skin and I want to be able to run around without being so tired. Mentally, this helps motivate me. We can achieve our goals!!

    I've lost 72 pounds over the last 8 months and I have another 53 pounds to go to reach my goal weight. We can do this.
