Hello. I'm 56. Need to lose 75 lbs. Like most, I've lost before. Ultimately I am better at losing and sustainability if I track and I talk with someone in my same boat.

I live outside of Seattle and would like someone who lives in the same area. The weather can affect dieting!

I've been on a diet most my life. My metabolism is messed up. There's so much info out there on what to do or not to do I'm in a tailspin.

I lost at WW, but was younger. I lost at Atkins, low carb, keto, and IF. My trainer says I need to eat more. But that's difficult when you're use to skipping meals. I'm trying macro counting, but not sure if I really know what my goal is. Think it's to increase my protein and carbs, but keep my fat intake low. ???

I work with a trainer 2x a week. Been doing this for 7 months. Haven't lost an inch or a lb. I'm stronger and feel better, but still there's so far to go. I'm physical and on my feet for work. Not a couch tater.

Is there someone out there that can relate? Wanna be buddies? Send me a message.

    I'm in Seattle, back again, too, losing weight on keto. I have 100 pounds to go. Going to start exercising again soon, but right now I'm stuck at home. Add me if you want!

    I’m just outside Seattle too and know what you mean about the weather (although I’m native to the area and admit the rain makes me somewhat happy 😉). I started this journey in Dec 2019 with a 74 lb goal. I’m down 62 lbs now! Happy to be a support and share what has worked for me on this journey.

    I must say, I am disabled so my workouts might not look like yours.
