    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!!!

    Hi.
    Same here was having such a great time all 2019 that didn’t notice my weight until my jeans didn’t go back up. Lol
    I need to lose at least 20-30 lbs

    Wohoooo. Just hit 299.8,. It's been a while since i have been there!!!! Just wanted to share with everyone. I definitely notice how much being a part of a judge free private group makes a difference this time around in my journey!!!!

    If you have a lot to loose like me and need to keep engaged to keep going, send me a note and I will add you to my group!!

    Good luck everyone!!!!!

    I started at 300 lbs. Lost down to 198. Then slowly crept back up to 250. I have been working on losing weight since October and I am currently down to 213 as of this morning. I still have 38 lbs to loose before I am at a normal BMI. I wouldn't mind joining your group as everyone can use support and the support I have received in this community has helped me a great deal to stay motivated.

    Hi there! Been yo-yo dieting most of my adult life... hoping to find what works for me and stick to it this time! Tired of being in pain from my weight and making excuses. Haven't been brave enough to step on the scale yet but I know I'm over 300 :( Looking for help and motivation!

    @froggrl83 I totally hear that my friend!!!!! That is where I was a few months ago, and then for me I realized it wasn't logging of food or exercising that would KEEP me moving along the straight path, it will be the people i talk to along the way that will help pull me kicking and screaming lol!!!! So this time I started with connection as my first habit down my healthier me path. I hope it is a good first step for you too!!!

    Well I am back in the 300s, easy go easy come??? Lmao!!!! Thought I would post back in here that I'm still ticking along....I'm not giving up just yet... My group of amazing people are still helping me move forward. Love that I am surrounded by others in the same boat.... Onward and downward I go! Lol

    If there are others out there who would love a safe place to post through their long journey, let me know and I'll add you!

    Hugz, Lyn

    I’m in the same boat. Add me to your group

    quote="Ragamuffin14;d-10777860"]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!!!
