    I’m in! I have GOT to get my nutrition together! I have put on 20 pounds over the course of a few years. I workout (run, HIIT, weight lift) 5 days a week and cannot lose weight. Why? MY NUTRITION IS TERRIBLE! Here’s to being held accountable!

    I’m in! Not sure if I’m capable of loosing 20lbs But I noticed that my progress has slowed down significantly and I want to speed it up again. Keeping myself motivated and focused on the goal seemed to be the most challenging part! Hence me joining the group!

    Thank you! I would love to learn how to cook red meat the way you do! I tried on the George Forman Grill but it tasted bland. Any tips? :)

    Outdoor, on cherry wood I think is the only way to get on this level:

    As for seasoning, all i ever put on my meat is salt and freshly ground black pepper.

    Let the wood speak up. Let the meat's flavor show ...

    I want ice cream, my non existent leftover calories won't allow for it.
    Must.

    I’m in! I’ll probably try for about 17 pounds since October is more than half over. I’ll have to post my starting weight tomorrow.

    I need some motivation and inspiration. And I really need some active friends on here. It seems Luke so many have fizzled out (well, including me). So, if you’re looking for more friends, please friend me!!

    Anyone else find that the weight is making them not want to socialise or becoming reclusive?? I sound mad...but I've gotta know if this is just me going crazy or if this is normal.... I get so stressed just walking outside or out of my room because it's so much effort to sustain a facade all day 😵😱😰

    This sounds fun! I've currently already lost 16 pounds since I started dieting, so with that, I'll need to make it 36 in total by February.
    I'll check back in to this topic in a month or so ~

    kind of. I feel like if I lose weight I’d have more energy do things. I think it’s normal :)
