    I am 23, 290lbs and a mother to a toddler who I want to be able to keep up with better than I can now, I have a long way to go but the first step is one I want to take along side people who know how hard it is, every choice and decision made is a battle won in this war.

    Try not to think of it as a battle or a war or even dwell on how far you need to go. You only actually need to get through today. Allow tomorrow to be tomorrow you's problem. Today is a good day to lose a little weight and if possible to be happy(ish) while doing it. I learned the hard way not to try and force weight loss but to just allow it to happen. Today I will eat a fair amount of nutrient dense food and a few treats I will enjoy. I will end the day with a calorie deficit and my weight loss show up eventually on the scale or in an NSV.

    If you are attempting to lose weight in a sensible and sustainable fashion I have a group for people who are starting or originally started with 75 or more pounds to lose. They are great people who all really understand what it means. Here is the link:

    Hey beautiful! Listen you are still young and don’t need to be so hard on yourself. You just had a baby. You can do this! One step at a time. That’s it. Block out those negative thoughts because as you said your baby needs you! You can do it and I believe in you! I just added you as a friend. Message me if you ever need anything! We can do it!!!

    Ps. Remember that nobodies journey is perfect we all fall and get up plenty of times. But it’s the getting up and choosing to keep going part after a mistake that makes the journey and makes up for success!!

    I relate so much to everything you said... I turn 29 next month and am the heaviest I've ever been. I want to lose 85 pounds by the end of this year. I need friends! :)

    Hi Sarah!

    I read your whole post and am cheering you on! You've got this, you can do this, you are worth it!

    We are a similar age and weight
    I just turned 30 in March and as if 4/23 was 301lbs. The highest weight I have ever been. Since joining MFP that night, I have counted my calories, logged every bite, cut out drinking my calories, and have started IF. I am looking for new friends on here for motivation and accountability. I'll send you a request.
