Hello I'm a 22 year old looking for some support. So I want to lose a stone by January, that's about 2-3 pounds a month so I'm gonna need as much support as I can. Slowly trying to change things in the day to day as this isn't another diet for me but I would love some people to help motivate me overall I hope to lose about 40 lbs for my ideal weight!

    Feel free to add me, similar situation. I'm 46, ideally would like to lose same amount of pounds, my biggest problems are motivation and consistency.

    I'm in too! I could use some support. Been at it for a week and a half. I know that's not long at all, but I gained 2 lbs. Seriously?!? And no, my clothes don't feel looser, etc. Frustrated!!! I am not obese, but could certainly stand to lose around 40 pounds. I'm. 46, working fulltime, a mom, and a wife. I was even sick with a fever for a few days and thought I'd lose for sure. Tell me that persistence will pay off???

    Persistence will pay off. Sometimes your body has to figure stuff out, sometimes it takes a little for you to figure out your body. At a week and a half, your body is like, "Wait? What?" The gain could be water, a normal fluctuation, your cycle, your body reacting to the changes by temporary hoarding, a result of being ill, something else...

    Persistence WILL pay off!

    Anyone non-creepy can always add me or friend me, or whatever.

    Add me too! I really need to find a way to stay on task and motivated! I am 47, and didn’t have a weight issue until I turned 40. I am also a plant based eater, but you don’t have to be!
    Disclaimer: I’m not looking for anyone creepy. 😬
