    Me please.
    I need a new motivator.
    I was on a good roll in September to December, but I lost steam.

    Appreciate all help!
    (mainly not to eat crap).

    Thanks,

    Hi there! I'm about 190 and my goal is 165! I have some great friends, but who can't use more? Although...I'm really interactive...but that's super motivating and supportive, right?

    I'll add some of you!

    Don't be discouraged! Think about what a pound of butter looks like...that's a lot of fat that no longer in your body! You may have lost more than that in actual fat if you have been working out because you will replace the fat with muscle. A pound of muscle takes up much less space than a pound of fat. Keep up the hard work and you will see the results.

    Feel free to add me! I did this a couple years ago and lost about 40 lbs. Want to lose the rest which is over 30lbs to get to my goal.

    20 pounds...slow and easy. You didn't gain it overnight and you won't lose it overnight. Mine crept on me up over the last year when I wasn't watching what I was eating. Think about it: All you have to do is eat 200 calories more than you burn and you've gained 20 pounds in a year! YIKES. But the opposite is true as well: Burn 200 more calories than you eat every day and the 20 pounds is gone in a year. That's less than an hour a day of exercise. So the trick is track your intake and your burn. It will come off. Just be persistent.

    Very nice of you :smile: You came by just to say those encouraging words. I could use people like you in my life!
