It is time & I'm ready! 50-100lbs support group anyone?

Hello! My name is Charmelle and I'm ready to lose at least 75lbs. I gained 28-30lbs during pregnancy, then another 40lbs after (my son is 4 now) for a total of 70 damn pounds! 😣 I want to stay under 200lbs. I went from a size 10 back up to a size 18/20 (been a battle all my life). My goal is to maintain a size that doesn't require a plus size store for me to purchase my clothes. I want to feel comfortable in my clothes without feeling the need of a cardigan or the like. I seriously would like to go for a 2-4 ab pack. Oprah was my inspiration when she lost all that weight and had a pack. I was amazed & now I'm really motivated to go for it.
I am transparent because i want to stay accountable and it would be nice to have a group of ppl that can relate & who are just as ready & dedicated to reaching their goals. Let me know if you're interested and we'll go from there! β˜ΊπŸ‘πŸΎ

    Hey there! I also have a significant amount of weight I'm trying to lose. I started at 274lbs on June 15th and have lost 22lbs so far. My current goal is to get to 174lbs, but I'll hopefully continue losing after that. I have 2 boys, a 2 1/2 year old and a 5 month old. I work 3 days a week and meal prep has been my lifesaver for sticking to my calorie deficit. I'll start to work in exercise more often as I go, but right now I'm just focused on making a lifestyle change with food.

    Good luck and feel free to add as a friend!

    Hi. Over the past 10 years I've gained so much weight. I want to lose about 70 pounds so I can feel more energetic. I've also had knee problems and GERD since being this heavy and I really think losing weight would make a difference. I'm looking forward to supporting others and being supported through this!

    I started my diet and exercise plan a week ago, trying to lose at least 70 pounds. I gained the majority of my excess weight 2 years ago when I went through a tough time with my job and now it's time to get back to feeling like myself again!
