in Introduce Yourself
starting my weight loss journey! i need to lose 25 lbs to get back to my ideal weight. Staying in shape is going to be a LIFE-LONG battle for me so I am trying to change my ways instead of following fads and depriving myself.
Any and all motivation is welcome!!! I am married to a 6'4 beanpole who just doesnt get how hard it is!!!!!:)

    Welcome! I too just joined today. I've got about 50 lbs. to lose. I'm 31 and have struggled with my weight since high school! My husband is also overweight and always says he needs to lose too but he'll start "tomorrow"... I'm tired of waiting for the tomorrow that never comes! I don't get a lot of motivation from him so I'm joining here looking to find some friends and support to help me finally succeed and make some changes for life! I also love that I can log things from the computer or my phone!! Feel free to add me as a friend if you are interested! Good luck :)

    Right there with you! I just joined this week already down 2lbs! I have another 40lbs to lose. My DH is 6.1, eats whatever he wants & doesn't gain an ounce. Beanpole too. He seems open to eating healthier despite having no weight to lose. We'll see!
