edited December 2024 in Motivation and Support
Hello all!
I have been watching the scale creep up every day (especially since lock down) and enough is enough. Starting fresh today and would love the support.
I am currently 169 pounds at 5'5.

Could seriously use all the motivation I can get. :)

    I'm currently almost 6 months postpartum, breastfeeding, so I have to be mindful not to decrease my calories to much. I'm also wannabe runner lol

    Hi!
    I'll add you :) I've been on an off this journey on and off for years. At the beginning of this lockdown I did really well tracking and being focused, but now I feel like I'm just getting out of control!
    I have regained 3 kilos over the past 3 weeks. So now I'm really looking for friends to focus on and keep me focused, while also being able to help support others!
    I want to lose another 10kgs (I've lost 17kgs so far).
    Good luck!
    Any one else, feel free to add!

    Hi there, I’m brand new to the community board and just reactivated my account. I am 5’3 and back up to 185lbs for the -nth time. Trying to get back to my lowest 134 which is technically still the high end of my weight/height chart but I know achievable. How does the group work? Are we automatically added or need another step?

    Hello, my name is Ellen also. I just rejoined. I lost 42 pounds 2 years ago but I have gained back 20. Uggg! Just track your calories and don’t beat yourself up if you cheat. Just keep going.
