Looking for new friends who can encourage my 100lbs weightloss journey

You can add me. 130-150lbs to lose depending on where I feel comfortable at. Ive lost weight twice before but due to my lack of staying on top of things Ive gained my weight back over the last few years. Im active on here as well.

I know exactly what you're going through. I've lost 52 lbs since january and i feel so much better. I have at least 75 lbs to go. I log everyday and try to be supportive as much as i can. Feel free to add me!

Sending friend request. Happy to be a support!

Get a scale to weight out portions. A scale is the most useful device out there to get the most accurate macros. eyeballing doesn't always work but making sure you are accurate. If you eat that cake make sure you log those in as well. This way you can look back and see how you could improve.
1. It is a long journey
2. Exercising is only 20 %
3. Nutrition is 80%
4. Pick yourself up quickly after indulging in low nutrition foods.
5. Stay away from the scale! I weighed my self daily.. don't do it! Every week to two weeks is sufficient. This is the most discouraging thing because of water weight retention and other factors that may not drop on scale. Use your pant size as an indicator.
6. Compliments are nice, but doesn't mean the job is done. I often lose weight and then receive compliments and go to far on celebrating.
7. Get rid of all foods that are unhealthy. Especially high sugary food. Diet soda is not a great alternative. Water is your friend.
8. You may want to treat yourself once in a while so go out on those days for a treat which makes it less accessible and you may change your mind all together.
9. Friends... well they need to understand this is important to you so they need to understand why your not going out with them, if not they arn't true friends. I often have trouble controlling myself when I go out to eat because it results in drinks before and lots of unhealthy foods because of limited options and large portions restaurants serve.
10. It is a long journey. At first you will see 5-10 pound loss in a week or 2 and then it will dramatically decrease. Your body is getting used to the calorie deficit and the less you weight more intense exercising is required or decreasing your calorie intake. Aim to lose 2 pounds per week but if you lose more that's a bonus. The most effective way to do it is to think of it as a lifestyle change and not a diet. Artificial sugars and flavors ruin our taste buds so natural foods are hard to adjust at first, but you will get that back. Spend time in the kitchen and experiment with different vegetable fruits flavors and meats. Good luck!
