I now have a job but weight issues no motivation or energy. I’m looking for support and friends to help me with the weight loss I can not eat enough calories. And eating the wrong types of food.

Hi Marie! Sounds like you have had a lot going on. Awesome job trying to keep yourself healthy. That's actually a lot of will power especially since difficult times are the easiest time to give up. That's inspiring
I'm about 5"3 and 180 pounds so I've got quite a bit to lose. It's hard work but we will get there girl! My mood changes are what holds me back . Some days I'm good to go..other days I can't be bothered and don't care anymore1 -
Welcome... you will find plenty of support here Marie! Ive just recently come back to this after Xmas as Im sure many have.
First weigh in this morning and not a thing came off...its disheartening but been exercising and eating well and trusting that it will happen next week! Im 5ft 5 and 230lbs and hoping to come down to around the 150lb mark.0 -
