edited December 2024 in Motivation and Support
I am from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada and looking to have a buddy to do this with as every time I try to do this alone it doesn't work. :'(

My doctor is very supportive and wants me to be successful and has made sure this is all eating and exercise habit and not a health issue that is making me retain weight.

So this means it is all me!!! :o Who is in??? :)

    I'll be your buddy! I think having motivation and support will make all the difference for me, too. Especially as I've tried before on my own and always lose motivation!

    I think I am in the same position. I need to be serious but accountable. I am here and can check in with you. The calorie counting is seriously my hardest discipline. I often snack because I tend to be an emotional eater. 50 is my goal! It's a huge change but we can do it!

    I am from Alberta and will join you too. I need to lose 50 pounds as well. I have trouble with portion sizes and I do like white bread and butter. I have cut all of the butter from my diet and in the past week have had only 2 half slices of multigrain bread. Right now my goal is to lose the first 10 pounds.

    I was just at Bulk Barn getting my slippery elm and I felt so stressed. There's so much yummy stuff there so I just bought licorice spice tea and ran

    Also need to lose 50 lbs, I usually lose weight then gain it back. I always think, what if I would have kept up with it? Im so disappointed with myself, Ive been struggling for years.

    This works perfect for me. My birthday was in June and I turned 49. My wish was to lose 50 lbs by age 50. I really want to succeed and be under 200 lbs for my 50th birthday. Please add me and anyone else in this thread also feel free to add me.
