Good Morning Everyone!

I have had fitness pal for a little while, but have not used it as I should, therefore benefiting absolutely nothing! I have put on weight yet again and am absolutely finished with this constant struggle with myself! I need honest accountability, sometimes harsh if necessary. The "you're doing great!" is wonderful, but I need to hear the gritty truth. I don't want to be negative, that's not what I mean, but to hear butterflies and sugar plum all day is not going to get me from 195 to 150. If this is you, I'd love to be friends!!

XOXO,
Elizabeth

    I'm 195lbs looking to get to 150lbs! I'm working on being more accountable also. Every time I try to lose weight I gain weight. I used to be 150lbs trying to lose weight, so how I got to 195 I have no clue haha.

    This. Encouragement is fine, but the "patting on the back" for every little thing can get monotonous. TOUGH LOVE baby! I tell it like it is and many times I don't respond to many NSV's because some are just pretty lame.

    I'm in! I kept excusing my weight gain to age and "that's just the way it is"....I am celebrating my 40th Birthday in January and my goal is to not only loose weight but to be in the best shape of my life. I've been at it for about 2 months and have lost 10 pounds, and am feeling great about it! I only recently got on fitnesspal compliments of a running friend so I'm new to this kind of accountability.

    I started out at 148 and through some intense workouts and moderate food "watching" I'm down to 138. Now I have a home to log my food, check my calories and help me understand how some of my bad food habits affect my health and my weight! My goal is to be at 128 by January 2nd.
