I have been up and down for the last couple of years and didnt think I could ever work towards and possibly reach a sustainable goal... but then I found the community here is crazily supportive and motivational. Good luck I'm sure you'll do great !

The last 10-20 are hard, but you can do it with some hard work and dedication! Feel free to add me, I'd be glad to help motivate.

You will do great. Just check in on the food and exercise tracker every day and be brutally honest about what you ate and how much you exercised.

Here's a tip: don't do anything drastic on the exercise but do walk anywhere you can where you used to drive. Don't "power walk," you will look silly and passing motorists will chuckle at you: "get a load of that bird!" Just walk at a normal pace like you're walking a dog. Like you're on your way to an important meeting or something.

Another tip: most of weight loss is in your head -- leveling off the peaks and valleys in your appetite. If necessary, forget about the traditional "breakfast, lunch and dinner" formula and eat 150-200 calories every 2-3 hours or so. Just figure out your total calorie allowance for the day, for example 1400. Then divide that by your total waking hours -- 8:00 am to 10:00 pm for example, which is 14 hours. If you are allowed 1400 calories a day that's 100 calories an hour. So then eat 200 calories every couple hours or so (Slim Fast bars, etc.) and you will never get super hungry even though you're right on track with a pretty serious weight loss program. The pounds will fly off.

That's enough motivation for now. Go forth and conquer!

You can do it, first thing you gotta change is your mindset! Make some friends on here it really helps. Feel free to add me.

Everyone is here to support you :flowerforyou:
Even with this support though, it's all on you in the end. You have to give yourself a fighting chance. Own it! Own this chance, own your body, own your life! You are in control. You CAN and WILL make it.
Weight loss is hard, but it's only as hard as you let it be.
Get pumped for yourself and for your future successes

I have a question. You have come this far, why are do you sound like you're giving up? Yes, support is nice, but no one can do this for you. I too am on this journey and have lost 35 with 30 to go. You have taken the steps to start this amazing journey to a healthier and better you, keep going, you can do this. Whether it is a matter if hitting that plato, change up your workouts, challenge yourself to do simething you've never done (for me, I'm working towards running a half marathon). Is it scary, YES! But you know when you hit your goal everything is worth it. Keep on your diet amd exercise and you CAN do this!

Remember no one can do this for you.... and you have to want to do it for yourself and no one else. Chin up... you have tons of on support on here. :-) and that includes me! Good luck!
