Hi Friends,
I have been searching for a group that is more in my category. I weigh over 200pds and want to start a challenge and accountability group for 2020.
This is going to be an 80pd weight loss challenge from January 1st to December 31st. It doesn't matter what day you weigh in, but we would love to hear from you on that day to hear your good/bad news. I would love to have a group that inspires each other, Laud knows we will all have bad days and we can all use somebody to keep us on track and cheer us up. I would like to have a group that is free to vent when we are frustrated and not be judged for it.
We can do this !!
2020 is going to finally be "Our Year"

"Let me start by telling you a little something about myself".
I am a retired Correctional Officer after working for 25yrs at a men's prison, I am a wife of 31yrs to a wonderful hubby and a 1yr old fur baby ( a blue nose pocket pit bull ) named Dexter. My loves and hobbies are reading, building puzzles, camping, flower gardening, anything to do with the outdoors, and riding my motorcycle.
I belong to the Blue Knights motorcycle club, the American Legion motorcycle group, and the patriot Guard Riders.
I have been a caregiver for my father for the last 8yrs and for my husband ( who has Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome ) for the last 26yrs.
I was on a 78pd weight loss challenge before and I lost 80pds but once I hit my goal, yup, gained it all back and more.
That is a start of who I am,
I would love to get to know and diet with you.
If it worked once, I'm R.E.A.L.L.Y hoping it will work again.
I am not getting any younger and like yourself I am starting to have physical issues, I weigh 266pds and I'm 5'2. I look like an army tank and it's all I can do to walk up stairs.
I am sooo glad your on board with me this coming year. we gotta do this and keep each other on track and motivated. Can't wait
I started this challenge cuz I couldn't find what I needed and didn't think it would go anywhere, but you girls have given me so much hope. I can't wait till we get started. The best thing about this site is that we can all relate with each other. I can't wait to see the changes we are going to go through next year.

It would help us to be accountable. Each of us may have our own day of weighing in.
I weigh in on Tuesdays, or could we choose a day that would work for all of us ?
If not, you can just put your monthly loss total in to show how well your doing.
What are "you" doing now to prepare for Jan. 1st. ?

Total April loss:
i’m currently weighing in at 248.2lbs
i gained 8lbs this month alone (holiday eating)
weekly weigh-ins sound great (on day of each choice), i’m currently eating within my calorie limits and working out daily (walking and cardio)
I have been overweight all my life. In my baby photos I look like a bulldog with folded checks. I lose weight then gain it back. Hope to lose weight this time and then work just as hard to find a support group to keep it off. Maybe we can create one for 2021!
Weekly weigh is good for me, otherwise I slide down that slpiiery slope.
I feel great hope and success with this group already, Everyone sounds like your getting revved up for this to start. I am glad several of you shared how your getting ready and gave others ideas on what they can do ( including myself ), Just remember...the first 21days are going to be the hardest. We gotta keep each other going and keep the encouragement coming. I start questioning why after 4 days, but I want so bad to succeed this time. If you've ever joined a diet meeting you see a room full January 1st and about 10 people on the 1st of March. Let's first do this one day at a time and widen our horizons as we go for our total goal.
OMG...I am so excited

I can relate to you and lelser60, If you look at my baby pictures I have chunky legs and arms, I look like a stuffed teddy bear in a dress ( minus the fur ). I was one of two kids in grade school that got picked on for my weight. Back then we had to suck it up and move on. The only time in my life that I was "skinny" was when I lost 142pds. I was sooo proud to fit this butt in a size 2. Unfortunately I didn't realize at the time that I was full blown anorexic. I ended up in the hospital 3xs, two times taken by ambulance.
So please, I know each of you have a weight you want to reach, but make it a weight that is healthy for "you".
