    That's a great goal! And for many of us this 'aint our first rodeo' so you will find lots of people on a similar wavelength.

    It was a good day 1! I got in a 2 mile hike and logged all my food. Winning!

    Who's your gorgeous friend? :)

    Welcome back, and good luck making this your last rodeo.

    I think it's important to reflect on why it didn't work out last time (even if you don't tell anyone, be completely honest with yourself) and to find your motivation this time. Once you nail those two things, there is no reason why you can't be successful.

    Wishing you all the best for your weight loss journey. :)

    Hi all! You can do this!

    If any of you would like to try the team approach to getting through this crazy time with a wonderful group of people, take a look at the Fat2Fit Challenge. This group has been running for many years, and the community spirit on the teams is both supportive and effective. There is accountability (weekly weigh-ins, team chats, getting in there to share and help your team), all kinds of fun challenges, and general helpful friendship. There is space on a couple of the teams for some new members, so come check it out!

    General info page:

    Registration for July:

    Give it a try if you want some real encouragement and success! The pandemic is a challenge, and we are all in there working through this together.

    Hi Ann! I’m returning with a vengeance! I’m 56 and have about 25 pounds I’d like to lose. Would it be ok if I friended you? I’m trying to build a wider circle of support!
