    My name is Chandra and I am sick of yoyo-ing for the last 20 years. Time to lose it once and for all! I am 5'10", 43yo mom of 5, started at 269, currently 262.6. Goal weight is anywhere between 165-175 (I'll decide when I get there) so I have 90-100 lbs to lose. :(

    Hi, i posted under intro, i will be short here. My name is Vera from Bucks County, PA. I started at 268.8 down to 261.8. 7 pounds down in week one. I am all in and this time i am doing it for me. Lost 95 pounds 2 years ago just to put it back on. I will not let it happen again. I am shooting for 10 10 pound goals. I learned the last time the number 95 is too large to shoot for and it feels like it can't be reach.

    Glad to be apart of this group.

    Rebecca from Colorado. This time around my starting weight was 249 and I have lost 5 lbs. 80 more lbs would be amazing but I’d settle for my knees not hurting from carrying so much weight! I want to run again. I hope I can offer and receive the support to help make us all successful.

    I'm Shana! I'm to embarrassed to say my starting weight so I'll just talk about the positives. 8 days in and down 5.2 pounds. My goal weight is 160. I have a long way to go but day by day I'll get there!

    Hi! Jill from Omaha, NE (just moved here 9 weeks ago). Yo-yo, weight creep, emotional/mental attachment to food for comfort; you name it....a lifetime of poor choices & I'm sick & tired of being sick & tired. SW as of today: 241.1. At least 80 to lose. Prefer to shoot for 100 for good health the rest of my life. 1 sister in remission from colon cancer, 1 sister just diagnosed with breast cancer. Father with serious heart disease, stroke, Type 2 Diabetes, & the list goes on. Time to get serious & make it through those challenging periods on this journey when life gets to you & you just want to give up. I/We can do this....TOGETHER!

    Night time after my kid goes to sleep is the hardest. I find I am so hungry. When I had success in the past I would walk but my knees are preventing me from that. Any suggestions?

    I'm with ya. That has always been the times that I snack on chips and candy, and then after two hours of that, I would go to bed.

    For me, I had to find something that would keep my hands busy. Also drinking lots of water would help fill my stomach so I didn't feel as hungry. I promise after a week or two of not snacking at night, the cravings go away and it does get easier!

    How did everyone do on the weekend? I stayed under my calorie goal everyday, despite going to a restaurant and going to the mall!

    Hey everyone!

    My name is Amber, I'm 26. In the last two-three(ish) years I've gained about 100 pounds putting me at my heaviest weight of 325.

    My goal is to AT LEAST lose that; but ideally I'd like to get under 200 lbs again. Possibly in the 160-180 range depending on how I feel I look when I get closer and how strength training/weights goes.

    SW: 325 (9/25/2017)
    CW: 318 (10/9/2017)
    GW: 200

    Pounds to go: 118! (59 weeks @ 2 lbs a week)
    Pounds lost: 7!
