I weigh a whopping 300 lbs and have been struggling with weight my whole life. I've been depressed about my body for so long and just can't seem to lose the weight. maybe this time around will be different with support from a community trying to achieve the same goals. if you have similar goals or could just use an extra friend please add me!

    I know I can lose the weight. I have lost before but gained weight back because I was eating the same stuff over and over. I never know what to eat or how to change it up. I start thinking oh its only so and so calories which is good but oh the carbs. Or the other way around. Its frustrating.

    You can do it!! you just have to take it 1 day at a time thats what I have been telling myself. have you considered meal prepping? a poor diet is whats holding me back but I'm looking towards meal prepping to see what it's like and if it will help me

    I was that kid who was always bigger then the others. I was very active and played lots of sports but was always "big". I dreaded wearing my soccer uniform as I knew it would be tight on me when it was loose on all the other girls. I haven't lost any significant amount of weight yet but I've been religiously logging my food and boy does that open your eyes to what you eat and also help you decide what you are going to eat. You can do this girl!

    Hi, my name is Gigi. I have roughly 104 lbs I want to shed. Could use support from anyone who is struggling with their weight like I am. Lost 90 lbs about 7 years ago and gained it all back plus some extra. Doing this a second time is going to be harder. Getting involved with others who have the same journey as I do will help. Add me...lets all help each other!

    @vrva_ncol1 it's call commitment my friend life has its struggles and we can't guarantee every day will be a success but be determined to change your mindset. Diet is important invest in whole foods healthy fats, carbs are not once you're burning calories. If you're serious about this fit life add me

    Been at this for well over a week. I don't have any CRAVINGS. Which is weird as hell for me. I am doing higher fat than carbs. Yesterday I was really good with my carbs, compared to how I have been but ooo, yesterday is really when I felt the difference of not eating carbs. I am not craving bread and thankfully never a big pasta eater. I will weigh myself on Wednesday and see what I have lost if anything. I bought Zumba DVDS on Amazon for 16 bucks, will be doing that as well....
