    I'd like to lose about 70 pounds also. I started my commited journey about 5 werks ago. I am down 9 pounds. You can do it! Friend request sent.
  • I am trying to lose 84lbs and am halfway there. I know that you will reach your goal as long as you remember the reasons you’re losing weight and hold yourself accountable by logging things everyday.

    I will send you a friend request because we have very similar fitness goals! ☺️

    You can do it! Stay strong! During and after my pregnanies I gained a lot of weight. I got serious about weight loss and fitness when my youngest turned 5 and I had more free time. I started with walking on the treadmill and then transitioned into running. 5 years later I finished my first marathon. Anything is possible!!

    I’m aiming to lose minimum 50lbs by next summer and keep the weight off. After slacking off too much in recent months it’s time to get back on track. All support welcome

    Doesn't matter. Just log everything. There's no judgment here, and you might get advice on gradually swapping, reducing, replacing or phasing out some foods for more nutritious stuff you might want to try.

    Good for you! It's especially important to log everything ... including those that may not be your best choice or when we binge, etc. You need a true picture of what you consume to be able to tweak meals, etc so you can stay at or below your daily goals. My rule of thumb is that if it passes my lips, I have to log it ... gum, cough drops, breath mints, all foods and beverages, etc.

    I have 100+ lbs to lose so am trying my best. My current personal motto is FIRST you have to START. I have it taped on my bathroom mirror so I see it first thing in the morning and every time I go in the bathroom throughout the day. So far, it's really helped me stay on track. Just remember, there will be days we don't do as good as we wanted .... so, the next meal, the next morning, whenever ... we START OVER. Don't let one bad day, one bad meal, one bad choice defeat you.

    Good luck on your journey.

    Logging in every day and logging everything you eat will keep you accountable. I agree with others: One mistake is just that, a mistake. Reset and go. You can do it.

    And following the lead of others, go ahead and add me. I don't preach or judge for I am flawed myself and its a lot of work, blood, sweat and tears.
