Hello friends I need to lose a significant amount of weight!!!!! Anybody care to join me in this process???? Anybody else needing to lose 200 pounds? I have lost 20 gained 4 back. This is a complete hard journey for me. Surgery is not a option due to me having any health insurance laid off from my job. Severe depression years and years. Health issues hypertension and sleep apnea. Please add me if you're also needing to lose a significant amount of weight. Maybe we can share ideas.

    HI! 160 lbs total to lose here. I am down 49 of that so far. Been stalled at a plateau for a bit, it gets frustrating, but very worth it. :)

    Hey there. I started 9 weeks ago at 482 lbs. Goal weight of 220. So I'm in the same boat. I've lost 49 lbs this far and this site has been so valuable!

    1500 calories per day and I really pay attention to keeping my sugar intake as low as possible. And I drink a minimum of 70 oz of water per day.

    Hello Friends. I am starting my journey again as well. I've lost 230lbs and thanks to menopause (which happened early) I've put 108 back on, which is what I have to loose. I've had a hard time with depression since coming out of menopause and know it's more linked to my feeling like a failure by putting the weight back on than anything else. Having said that, I fight the good fight everyday, and try to stay focused on each day not the big picture right now. That is how I made it before, each day is independent of the next and regardless of what happened yesterday, I always have today, a new day, to do things differently.

    I did not do surgery before and know through diet and exercise weight loss CAN be achieved. I know I have to get my head back in the game and hope this site and some new friends will help me make the journey. I also hope I can be a help to others.

    I just make it my goal to eat the rainbow most days. I don't follow anything specific other than counting calories.

    I have roughly 150lbs total if not a bit more I want to lose, highest weight being 326. I've lost 20-30lbs previously but gained it all back and more before now over the years. Kick started myself at the end of May this year and have lost 39lbs since then, on top of the 10 I lost from January till May. Think it's finally clicked this time, I've never gotten this far before so no matter how many times you may falter just remember it's always worth giving it your best shot one more time, I'm sure you will achieve great success.
    Btw anyone can feel free to add me, I'm on here every day

    I would love to join this group!! I need the support and motivation also. I want to loose 100lbs. I lost 10lbs but gained it all back over the summer break. I started at a gym, went two days then stopped gping figuring I could do it myself but once summer break hit I slacked off then stopped all together. I'm tired of starting over so I'm ready to hit the ground rolling. Tomorrow will be day three at the gym, (I go M, W, F). Next week I would like to start walking on the days I don't go to the gym. I've pretty much stalled as well. I lost the forat bit of weight with mostly changing what I eat and minimal exercise. I know and realize to get where I want to be I will need to kick it up in the exercise part, which is what I'm doing now.

    Would like to make friends as well. Been logging in for 63 days. Staying focused and motivated. Starting weight 428, current weight is 391, working to 350, trying to set smaller goals so it doesn't feel too overwhelming! Would love to share recipes, exercise ideas as well as general motivation and support.
