Started 2020 in the 300s

Well I got a slap of reality when I stepped on the scale Jan 1st, After ignoring my weight and the scale for a while... I am tired of being sore and tired carrying all this extra weight, and i think i hit my rock bottom. I would love to connect with other members who are in the same situation, so I have started a private group "Started 2020 in the 300s" for this purpose. I look forward to doing it right one step at a time! Good luck everyone in reaching your goals!!!

    Good morning Ragamuffin! I am motivated as well to lose this extra weight. To sum it up I am sick and tired of being sick and tired! 😒 I would love to be included in this group. My first weigh in this morning 360.8. I hated to face this day but so necessary to being honest with myself.

    Totally get you my friend!!!!! So daunting, but here we are.... Pretty amazing i got myself online is what I have to remember, the bravest step was not just looking at the scale, but putting the number out there. Next steps should be a breeze right??? Hahahaha. I will add you!

    Hello, I read your message board and would really love to join your group. My breaking point was my daughter's wedding in November. I just weighed myself and I'm over 400 lbs. at 55 years. I don't want to live forever just a bit longer so I decided the best way is to jump back into a more healthy lifestyle one step at a time. I could use the support I've lost weight off and on but ready for something more permanent.

    Sounds like you would be a perfect fit for my group,. I hardly ever take any pictures with the family anymore for special occasions, it is kinda sad... I will send you an invite shortly!!!

    Wow 100 pounds already??? I'm totally in awe, that is fantastic!!!! I look forward to any suggestions you might have for the rest of us starting out. Great job so far, I hope you keep going!
