Hi there, I am a single mom trying to drop the much needed weight I've been carrying for way to long. I want to get healthy so I am around long term for my child. I heard if you had online accountability and community you would do better. I would love to have paid to encourage and have them encourage me.

Good luck! Focus on the big picture and always make sure you are logging what you eat so you can monitor your progress.1

Hey single mom, I have 80lbs to lose and am halfway there. I think I've figured out a system that works, and it only involves me being a bit stubborn with logging and what I eat. It is very much possible to achieve your goals, but you have to treat the process like a marathon, not a sprint.
The max recommended weight loss is ~1% of your total weight per week or up to 2lbs per week. Bigger people (me) can lose a little more at least at the beginning.
My secret to success truly has been logging everything, including the candy, donuts and burgers. Even if I bust my daily calorie limit, I still log it.
I've been going for 88 days, and at this rate, I expect to hit my goal within 3-6 months from today. I had initially planned for a 12 month process.
For your 135lbs of weight loss, I would put your initial goal at 18 months, and then work backwards for the smaller stuff.
PM me, check out my diary or add me as a friend if you like.
