Looking for like minded people looking to lose 50+ lbs for motivation/support :)

edited December 1 in Motivation and Support
When I got married I weighed 108lbs (looking back, not so healthy, but I ate like a horse and worked out allll the time, it was what it was), flash forward ten years and I weigh 206 :neutral: I am working through a sensible diet and increased activity in hopes of getting down to around 130-140 (that's when I felt healthiest). So if I hit in the middle (135) that's about 70lbs to lose!

Right now I'm in an 8 week team weight challenge and so my "mini goal" is to lose 10-15lbs between now - mid June.

Would love to chat with others who have similar goals to help support/motivate each other! :smiley:

    I'm trying to get to around the same weight you're aiming at and I started at around the same place, (I'm 186 now) and I was hoping for some support/motivation too. Add me?

    You're welcome to add me as a friend - My goal is -125lbs. Not a small goal at all, but with many milestones to go through as well.

    I'm in the process of losing 40 or so lbs. You all can add me. I am motivated and log in often and can help motivate you, but you will not see me logging in for 35+ days in a row for example, as I take frequent phone/screen breaks to help me stay healthy in other ways too. ;)

    Hi. My final goal is pretty much the same as yours but I weigh 224lb at the moment so nearly 90lb to go! I've just started back again. Feel free to add me if you like.

    Hello all! My final goal is about the same. I am currently a 911 dispatcher and lead a very sedentary life style and definitely need to make some changes for a healthier me so I can be around for my daughter. I am definitely one that tended to give up easily on the diet/exercise front because I didn't have the motivation. I do best when I have the support (I.e working out with someone or just knowing I have friends going through the same thing). Feel free to add me so we can help each other achieve our goals :)

    My goal is about the same! I have always been chubby but I thinned out after high school and when I met my husband I was at my lowest weight...120. That is where I want to be again--but this time strong and lean, a healthier 120-130 lbs. Now I have ballooned up to 190 (actually fluctuates between 180 and 195) and just want to have a healthier body. Feel free to add me everyone! Let's all make our goals happen together :)
