Hi All

The past year has been grueling with an overall weightless of 35lbs. Since the holidays and diving back in the dating scene, I've been gradually putting it back on.

My first steps were lifestyle changes. It led to the completion of one of my goals to run a half marathon by the end of 2015. This year, I am more focused, with an actual plan adding reliance on better diet instead of just gradual but substantial changes, mostly in activity and cutting alcohol.

My biggest challenge is staying consistent as I need a good support group, and who better than those on the same journey.

So, let's be friends :) say hi!

    Perhaps the mobile Android version doesn't let you. I don't see a camera option...

    But thank you! I'm thinking about doing one of the Spartan races this year to change it up :)

    Anything anyone's done that helped jump start this journey?

    Weird that it doesn't have it on droid version. Right above my reply box there are options for bold italics etc far right is camera icon.

    I'm going on a bike ride this summer called "the Michigander". About 50 miles a day for 6 days. Hopefully be in much better shape by then. Concentrating on step counts and trying to log everything I eat

    So far that's been the worst for me! What's your thoughts on tackling it?

    Thekiakid, 50 miles a day for 6 days is super impressive!! But that's probably a cake walk for you right? :p

    That's one of my next investments, a good bike!

    Hiya!

    I tried it once 2 years ago and with college thesis and life I lost motivation, BUT I really feel this time will be different. So... I'm also looking for support group :)

    My goal is 20 pounds in 3 months as well.

    Greetings from Dominican Republic!

    Hello,

    I have been battling with my weight for almost 5 years and everytime it was due to a lack of consistency. This time its going to be slow and worth it. How are you doing?

    Yes! Lack of consistency has been a struggle for me too! Slow and steady is better than not at all :)
