    I've been trying to lose weight most of my adult life. I lost 30 pounds before having kids and I just had a baby 6 months ago. So I just started again about a week ago and I'm down 6 pounds so far.

    Hi guys add me if you looking for support.

    Tip number 1 is dont drop your calories too extreme. Approx 300 calories below maintenance per day is more than enough with added cardio.

    Good luck

    Not looking for supporters, but just wanted to say- you guys/gals got this!

    I started 2.5 months ago with determination & my goal was and is at least 52lbs. I am now at 30lbs lost!

    Stick to your guns! And on those days when you are craving late at night- reassure yourself that the next day you will weigh less & have a cup of tea :)
