Accountability buddies

Options
Hey! I plan to lose about 35 lbs, and I need some accountability buddies on the way. I want to focus on habits--walking 10,000 steps a day, exercising 5-6 days a week, eating (mostly!) healthy, unprocessed foods, and staying within my calorie limit. Would love to connect with people with similar goals...

    Me too! I'm looking to get back into a healthier lifestyle after recovering from a few injuries...over the last year I've regained the 30 lbs I worked so hard to lose- and now I'm right back at having 40-50 lbs to lose. Would love some support and motivating friends on the road back!

    I started a diet back on July 27. I was 591.4 pounds at 6'2" I had tried diets hundreds of times without any luck. I am trying to get approved for bariatric surgery so I had my doctor put me on topiramate Wich curbed my appetite but I couldn't sleep very well everything I eat or drank taste nasty so I had him switch me out for adipex . Today I'm 548.3 pounds. I've lost 43 pounds in seven weeks. It might be dangerous but I am feeling ten times better already. My question is. Is it very dangerous to loose it this fast as big as I am. Just curious. Thanks in advance

    You are under a doctors care so I would let him worry about that. Most likely the benefits outweigh the risk. Have you ever seen My 600lb life? They lose 50 pounds a month.
