Hi! I'm Lisa. I'm 46 years old and must lose 100+ pounds. It's overwhelming! I'm going through a lot in my personal life and just want to feel better and look better and be healthy! I don't want to hurt anymore! Physically or emotionally! I would love some friends through this journey!

    Sounds like you’re going through quite a lot at the moment. Try and use that as your strength to push through your work outs. You can do this. Once you start seeing results, it’ll become an addiction, I believe that you can do this.

    I don’t know if you’re in the same boat as me but I already know what giving up feels like, but I want to see what happens if I don’t. Xx

    I just decided to do this again after a long hiatus - almost 2 years. I’d love support too. I love to exercise but need help with food! Any problem in my life & I eat!

    Hi Lisa, I, too, have started over again and again and again. This time I said no more! I gained quite a bit of weight and this first effort I am trying to achieve my first goal of 30 pounds! Feel free to add me :)

    I think that your final goal is kinda overwhelming to you. Take smaller more manageable goals of let’s say 10 pounds lost by a certain date. Once that’s done put another 10 pound goal tor another date and so forth, in the end you will lose the whole 100 but won’t be so focused on the #. I lost 90 pounds 15 years ago and have kept it off using the same method. Now if I could lose the last 30!
