Hey everyone! Hope you’re doing great!

I’ve been on and off the weight loss wagon many times, but something just feels different now. I guess I am ready for NO. EXCUSES.

Blisters? Too bad, keep going!
Raining? Too bad, wear an extra scarf!
No time? Too bad, sleep less!

I have been very diligent about tracking everything and staying within my calories since my last binging episode and have added tons of activity into the mix. I am loving it, and even considering taking the suicidal step of prepping to run! (I know, it sounds horrid! Yet somehow exciting?)

I am looking for other women in their 20s and 30s that have decided that enough is enough and are ready to take on the excess pounds. Tough love is what I’m here for and I’d like to reach out to other women with a no BS mentality so we can keep each other accountable and going!

A bit about myself:
27, 134kg (296lbs), 1,78m (5’10’’) and ready to take on the streets of cold and wintry London (before or after my full-time desk job 😂)
Starting weight: 150kg (330lbs)
Goal weight: 65kg (143lbs)
Calories: 1500-1800 a day
Steps: 10.000 a day

My first goal is to go down another 10kg (22lbs) by the end of the year.

If you’d like to give this a try just comment below :) I’d love to meet more likeminded people!

    Nice to meet you. I'm 35, 4 kids. Starting weight 280... which is also my current weight because I'm only on day 4. Got to start somewhere right? But I am actually sick of all these extra pounds. I dont know if my mentality is no excuses/no bs, rather it's more like there is no other option. If I cant lose this weight, and have long term success I may as well hole up in my house and eat myself into cardiac arrest... anywho I'm in California in the USA. I'm still reigning in my diet, I'd really like an elliptical machine

    29, 5'3", CW 252 lb, GW 150 lb. Back on the wagon as of today. I don't like how sedentary I am, so that's the first thing I'm focusing on. If you have a PF membership and haven't checked out the workout videos on the app, do take a look at them! It's just you and the trainer, no "backup dancers" or other people to compare yourself to, and the trainer manages to sound genuine and encouraging even though it's a pre-recorded video.

    My plan for the next 6 weeks is to work out first thing in the morning, right after feeding the cats, following one of the PF workout videos. I know that I have been most successful at this in the past when I'm religious about logging, so I want to get back to that as well, but I want to work on establishing one habit at a time.

    For the past week I have been going for an hour long walk up-hill right before work. It’s the dead of night when I leave the house, but I get to see the sunrise and it’s super motivating seeing the steps and active calories go up!

    How is everyone else going about this? What type of exercise do you prefer?

    Hi, let's chat!

    My name is Jasmine, I'm 26 and fairly new to this. Always been active but never figured out how to eat right. With my sedentary desk job, I've had less time to be active and piled on the pounds.

    I've been logging CICO for about 9 days now and ready to keep going! For activity, I've been doing Chloe Ting's 2 week 2020 shred, but I also like to play Just Dance, Ring Fit Adventure, do various cardio and HIIT, and walk!

    Of course no-one is excluded!

    I had a small injury early this week so I haven’t been walking as much as I set out to, but am looking forward to getting back into it!

    Hi everyone 🙂 my name is Christine
    I am 35 years old, 5ft5, 268 lbs and I would like to get under 200 first of all. At my heaviest I was 287 lbs and years ago I had gotten down to 215 (I felt hottt🔥). I gained it back after a period of prolonged stress and depression. I quit smoking a few years ago and I am ready to let go of food as a crutch. I am counting calories, meal prepping sort of, and walking every day. Add me as a friend if you would like. I would like to have a supportive community behind me and encourage others as well. We can do this ladies 💪💋 let's get it done!

    Hi everyone! My name is Nicole

    I am 23 years old, 5'7" and my starting weight is 320lbs. I lost 20lbs in 2020 (started at 330lbs) but I gained back 10lbs from November 2020-March 2021. I'm a full time grad student and I just quit my job so I've been on Zoom a lot rather than walking around.

    Goal weight: 200lbs
