200lb+ Women - Looking for accountability buddies

I started focusing on weight loss April 2020 and have managed to lose 60 lbs and keep it off! But I'm really hoping to lose 40-80 more in the next year or two.

Add me if you need a little extra motivation too! I love seeing everyone's updates and it really helps keep me on track.

Some of my stats are below. Add me if your situation sounds similar!

Age - 32
Height - 5'4''
Starting Weight - 300 lbs
Current Weight - 239
Goal Weight - 150-175 (just being realistic, we'll see how final maintenance goes 😂)

    Hi new to the community :)

    I could definitely use support and accountability buddies. I’ve gone down and up and down and up over the last 2 years. Lost 30 lbs earlier this year then gained back 17 of it.
    I’d like to lose 100 lbs in the next year and keep it off!
    I know it’s baby steps. So here I am making my first step and post! :)
    I’m an emotional eater and struggle to do any exercise. Have depression.

    I’m 49 and I’m in early menopause also.

    Height 5 5”
    Starting today SW 244
    Goal W 146
    Currently 244

    Hoping to make new friends here on my journey!
    Also a drinking water accountability partner is needed too - because drinking enough h20 is so important! Thanks!

    I'm 44 from the UK, 200+ is an understatement but I've lost half a stone so far. My aim is to just log and stay under target and accept whatever weight loss that gives me cause I know I get obsessed by the pounds and lose motivation when they don't do what I expect. I've got a long journey ahead of me.
