    Lost my Mom and then diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Got up to 210 with emotional eating (same as my hubby which was my wake-up call as he is 6'3 and I'm 5'8). Down to 181 with a goal of 139 (remember being 140 all through highschool and before having kids so want to beat it just by 1). Three girls, a 10 month old puppy...some days are definitely tougher than others and looking to give and get support. Feel free to add me anyone! I'm Canadian, living in Alberta and am an RN/LC (just as an FYI). ;-)

    I started at 327.8 down to 265 as of this morning.. I have gained and lost the same 50 to 70 lbs up till 2013.. when I finally got my act together. It can be done, just set small goals , start eating better... cut out crap, pop, fast food.. junk food. Don't do some crazy diet either that always backfires :) trust me been there done that
    I am here to chat if you need support

    I've been off and on a weight loss journey for a few years 2012 I lost 55lbs and lots of inches went back to 230 then lost 25 and went back to 218 and have stayed there for over a year. I've been on a off adipex for 4 years but had to completely stop after the 33rd time in literally was making me a crazy b**** I'm now using it works products to boost my metabolism and I love them :) solo Life has been really nuts and I'm back on calorie counting started a little exercise but I can't seem to get any friends to be seriously devoted with me, when im doing it I have no problem saying no. Feel free to add me cause I'm in it to win it this year

    I am in a very similar boat. Started at 252, down to 215 in July. Then back up to 235 and now down to 231. Ultimately goal is to be about 160 but my main goal right now is just to get into the 100's. Feel free to add me.

    Good morning everyone! I'm currently at 180lbs looking to get back down to 145lbs (or for us metric folks back to 65kgs). I walk 10-15k 5 days a week for work (and pleasure muahahaha) but I need some motivation to help me with eating better. My comfort foods are London Fog teas and scones. It would easier if I didn't love bread as much as I do so I'm looking for great healthy eating ideas, motivation and accountability. Feel free to add me!

    Hello all - I'm very new to this so please count me in! It's been difficult staying on track with young kiddos who have an entirely different diet plan, but I'm certainly trying.. On the bright side they do enjoy being active! Here I go 6 days in...

    I was 220lb at my heaviest and am now down to 194. It's not been easy, its been plodding and sometimes it's been upward or stucknat a plateau, but now that m really getting into it and see 2016 as the year I will get to my target weight. Learning that one day of eating too much or the wrong thing is not the end of the journey has been important.
