ISO of accountabilabuddies! need to lose 80lbs and looking for others in the same boat.

I have a similar story, except for the baking coworkers. My long-term goal is to lose 88.4 lbs. I'll send you an add request.

I'm in Australia, and have a decent amount of weight to lose...I've had too many babies

Hi im trying to lose about 80-90 lbs. Feel free to send a request. Just started this Monday.

Same here, desk job no exercise etc. need to loose 33kg/73lb. My goal is to fit into my wedding gown by 9th April 2017. So trying to keep myself motivated a few friends would help!

Me! I feel like I need someone to check in with me daily to keep me in line lol

Me too! Everywhere I go there is someone who wants to feed me and I have NO will power. I definitely need to get up and move more.

I need to lose 75 pounds! I'm in!

Hi ladies I just wanted to tell you what I did so you can try it too... I did have a baby but I think either way it's hard too lose. I was 118 when I got pregnant and the day o delivered I was 205. Right after I did lose 40 pounds quick from the pregnancy but I was stuck at around 160 to 170. I changed my diet and I worked out and I was barely shedding any weight. From Nov to Feb I only lost 10 pounds so I was at 159. It sucked. But what changed it all was the sugar. I started walking everyday 1-2 miles at night... and instead of worrying so much over calories and carbs... I started watching my sugar. I have a fitbit and this app. Whatever grams the sugar intake was allowed I stayed below it. And I made sure anything I ate had a lot of protein. Now with me doing this.... I've lost about 18 pounds from Feb to April. Right now I'm so busy and tired that I've slacked off... but right now in June I'm 144. So my suggestion is Start keeping track of your sugar. No more then like 30 grams a day Max. Good luck

Acbennion... sorry it took so long to respond. I love having motivation friends..... we can chat anytime. Trust me I know what you mean. I have 5 kids, from 7 months to 15yrs and I used to have so much energy, I worked full time and still came home with plenty.. but back in 2008 I was diagnosed bipolar 1. And I had severe ups and Downs. Id go days without eating. And the medicine I had to take played a big role in my appetite. I'm 5'9 and I've never weighed more then 120. But this last pregnancy I gained 100 pounds so I was 207. I had to have an emergency c section and I've only delivered natural. Well that was Nov. And I started walking, doing crunches, squats, weights and changed my diet. I lost maybe a few pounds but I was so shattered. I kept trying to squeeze myself into pre baby clothes and they wouldn't even go above my thighs. I felt like I tried everything and I was so ready to give up. I was burnt out trying to do all this and still take care of my kids and house.... so my husband bought me a fitbit for my birthday which is in Feb. And it helped a ton. I no longer had to waist time writing it down and crunching numbers. Then I had something bad happen to my husband and he went to jail. I lost all motivation, I couldn't wake up to do my excersizes, I could barely take care of my kids cause I was so depressed. So as of Feb 28 I weighed 159. By March 21 I was 156. I couldn't believe with all that stress I didn't just drop the weight... I was furious and at that point I said that's it I've had enough with this crap. So I cut out all the excersize except I walk everyday 7000 to 10000 steps and I do 50 to 100 crunches on a yoga ball. I only eat 1200 calories a day. I hate water, but I'm now drinking 33oz water a day and I allow myself 1 coke. I cut out coffee and can drinks. But my main thing is sugar. Like I said before I eat lots of protein and low sugar. Fiber one has a lot of sweet tasting snacks with low sugar. And so from March 21 to now I weigh 144. Just weighed myself. Now it's not a ton but I'm losing more in inches. My waist was 43" in March and now it's a 33"..... I would post a pic if I new how... I would try it...... it really helped me

Hi everyone,
As you can see from my profile pic I was over 400 and got down to 199 then put back on about 80 and am now motivated to lose it again.
Feel free to add me.

Feel free to add me as well. I started in 2014, lost 80 and now bounce back and forth between 60-80lbs lost.

Trying a new approach - still have about 100 to go!

Adding everyone here, please feel fee to add me for any new posters

Please add me. The more accountability partners the better. I have had a desk job for the past 12 years. No kids. Just me and my husband. In the past year my weight has sky rocketed. I gained over 30 lbs which brings me to a place where I need to lose close to 80 lbs. I am 5'11'' and I weighed 257 today. My first goal is to lose 15 lbs. I think setting mini goals will help keep me motivated. So if anyone needs a friend please add me and we can get through this and learn together!

I could definitely use more motivation! Added you!

I'm going through this feed and adding you all! I'm in the same boat! I need some motivating friends to keep me going!

Hi folks I'm Karen and I have 87 lbs to lose, so feel free to add me!

I have been a bit of a yo yo dieter over the past few years, I lost 5 stone (70 pounds) then put it all back on and more over a couple of years again...since then, in the last two years I've lost a bit, gained a bit, but never had the same consistent results.

I've found in the past that I do well when I limit sugar and cut my carbs down, so am trying that again (day 3). Low carb breakfast, lunch and then a regular dinner (but still within calorie limits). Will see how it works and keep you posted Need to get back on track and accountability here might just help!
