I have struggled most of my adult life with being overweight. Last June I received a medical wake up call. I decided to make a lifestyle change because I wanted to be here and healthy for my 4 beautiful children. It hasn't been easy and I get discouraged but it is so worth it. Feel free to add me as a friend. I need accountability and encouragement. And I would love to give that to others as well. hyyup7hxvyqq.jpeg

    Awesome job! I know how hard that is. I lost 116 lbs and then thru finishing grad school, an overwhelming work project and diagnosis of my kid's mental illnesses, I had a partial regain. Working on relosing that and continuing to my goal. I would love to friend you, if you don't mind. Need more people on similar paths to keep me inspired!

    What an inspiring story. Do you have any specific secrets that work well for you? I am starting to believe I have a food addiction; I eat out of control and then feel guilty. Looking for any tips for success. I am wanting to lose about 30 pounds, but truly I want to develop a healthy relationship with food.

    I watched calories very strictly and I also do gym stuff. Definitely hard work but worth it! I still have more to lose but I am feeling so much better.

    How many calories were you allowing yourself daily and what type of "gym stuff" do you do?
    Please share!
    Congratulations!
