I’m 44, I weigh 272.5 lbs, who wants to lose weight with me?

Ponder This.
Right now, and always right now, your house is either adding calories or using calories; it’s never not doing one or the other. If you sit still you’re losing stored calories. If we were to stop and think, not in pounds, not even in ounces, we are winning this thing every single second of time as calories simply evaporate. We...me AND you can do this. We’ve got this! Let’s do this....

CALORIC PROTECTION. Please add your own recommendations!

We are so glad you picked our group to try out. We are here for you! The first few months are the the easiest to discourage, but!! Don’t ever think that you can’t shed the dread. Of course you can! Remake yourself; we are!! Welcome!!

I would also like to lose some pounds as well as fix some health issues, I'm 52. Today is my first day of Keto.

I joined the site about a year ago but very quickly lost motivation so I'm gonna do better this time. I think sharing with people on a similar journey would help and hopefully I'd be able to inspire someone else as well.

Please do add me! I'm still working out how to open my diary and other things so please bear with me.

I’m a mom to 2 young kids that keep me busy so I need to be able keep up with them and be around for them.
I’m 5’4 237 I want to lose about 80lbs.

I believe in me and in each of you. We can achieve what we personally put out minds to doing. Fight for that one more ounce this morning, this afternoon and tonight. We will sneer at those calories tomorrow; and say to the rest of them, “Whose Next? Because I’ve had it up to here with each and every one of you calories. Pack up your stuff and GET OUT OF MY BASEMENT!”

“I’m Melting! I’m Melting! Oh, What A World; What A World!”
Steady and slow wins the race. It’s a slow slide to, “UnFat”. But, you cannot stop it. You Can Do It. Not only can you do it; you can also never go back to what you are now. Ever!

Mmmmmm.... Premier Protien and Bai Coconut; It’s A Piña Colada at 160 calories! Remember, remember- It’s not a hundred pounds or Sixty pounds that you are fighting for; it’s the calorie, that last calorie the clicks off the next ounce. Think of this journey like this,”Take Care of the Pennies; The Dollars Will Take Care of Themselves.”.

I’m 44. I started my 80 lb weightloss Journey in September 2018 at 218 lbs after my annual physical showed that I was borderline diabetic and my cholesterol was really high. My wife is 12 years younger than me and I want to grow old WITH her and not turn her into a care giver or widow too soon. I’ve lost 25lbs so far. Im using my LAWeightloss plan that I used back in the late 90’s and it’s still working for me. The weightloss is much slower but I’m determined. I’m also in peri-menopause and I don’t know how that contributes. My body is changing and it is a relief to begin recognizing the face I see staring back at me in the mirror. Sometimes I feel angry that other people get the luxury of eating whatever they want while I’m over here eeking away at this mountain of a goal but I’m working on being more gentle with myself. Forgiving myself for past mistakes has been the key to my success this time. I definitely have overeaten in the past to numb my grief and hurt at myself and the world. Sometimes I just need advice and reassurance and I’d rather talk to women who know what it’s like to be significantly overweight and how challenging it is to lose weight. I don’t have a lot of friends who can relate so thanks for creating space in this forum.

Hola! What a great motivator! I'm a 36 y/o married mom needing to lose 40/50/50=140 lbs, I break it down into smaller goals so I don't see that big number and be like "Have mercy, where's the churros?!" Lol I also have smaller goals like certain things I want to do but I can't because I'm over the weight limit and that hurts but as I meet each level I'll knock em out! Let's do this, motivate and encourage one another!
