in Getting Started
Hi everyone! I’m a 47 year old female, 5’5” 286 as of 9/21/2021. I am disabled with a laundry list of ailments, I won’t bore you with the list.
I started adjusting how I eat in March of this year. I cut out soda completely, gave up simple carbs, have very little sugar and watch my portions.
So far I have lost 86 pounds (I was 372 when I started) and I have 136 to go, my goal weight is 150.
I hope to make some friends who understand and are going through the same struggle, to lift each other up and share tips and tricks.

    Congratulations, I’m struggling with having gained some weight back after 30lb loss with another program. I eat mindlessly in the middle of the night when I wake up and would welcome any suggestions to stop this. I find logging food, exercise and accountability partners who are encouraging very helpful 😀
