Need Support - 75+ lbs to lose!

I am looking to add friends and gain support. I just turned 33 nearly a month ago and need to get things together. I would really like to add a network of people for motivation and maybe some challenges. Would love to hear ideas and ways to stay motivated while i start this journey. I used to be an athlete and now 10 years working and 5 years of that traveling laziness has snuck in and I am ready to move into a new lifestyle. I need to start to make ME a priority.

Please add me and join in you would like to join along!

    You got this! I will turn 35 this summer, and started this journey with a daunting amount to lose (140 pounds) back in December. Last week, I reached the halfway point!

    Once I set my mind and made myself a priority, things kind of fell into place. Good luck! :smile:

    I am in the same boat. My goal is 71 lbs. I was doing great and let some family drama get the best of me and I have gone completely off the deep end. Time to take control of my life! !!

    So I just joined this whole thing and I would love to be a part of start my journey. I'm not sure if I'm even writing in the write place. I'm not really sure how this whole thing works. Any suggestions I would love the help. I had my 3rd child 2 years ago and I can't get the weight off. I actually weigh more now than I ever have even while pregnant. So any help I would really love. Thank you :smiley:
