My name explains it all. I am a 38 year old teacher living in Virginia, and I am ready for this fat to be gone:) Food and I have been the best of friends and lovers since elementary school. And now, I am ready to break up. When I started this journey in 2018, I promised to Live my BEST LIFE! Being fat, tired, and out of breath is definitely not helping me to accomplish that.

I am currently 252 pounds. It is not easy speaking my truth. However doing so helps to acknowledge seriousness of shedding it off. My ultimate weigh goal is 175 pounds. However, my short term goal is 220. I’m looking for amazing people to help join in this journey. Let’s support each other in living our best life together:)

    Hello! I am a 47 year old Middle school counselor and I weigh 295 lbs. I would love to join your group. I want to get down to 210. 85 lbs seems daunting. I think I will set a goal of losing 20 first and then 20 more, etc. Not sure what approach to take. What about you guys?

    Short term, reasonable goals will be encouraging. I moved back to Virginia 2 years ago, and since then have gained 30 pounds. Doing nothing, is not an option. Let’s motivate each other and cheer on each other’s successes:)

    Hey there! I'm a 38 year old teacher too, and I would love to be of help to you. I'm very close to my goal after being overweight for most of my life. Add me if you would like, and then we can complain about kids these days!

    Hello, I got you if you got me. We can do this together. I gained 33 pounds last year. I'm so upset. I am getting under 200. I'm 264 today.

    It might take a minute. I went through some things last year but guess what. I WON.

    Thanks Chicago. I’m enjoying the journey so far. I decided to give up meat in the new year as well, so that should help jumpstart this new lifestyle:)
