Open Call

edited October 7 in Introduce Yourself
I'm trying a different route.

Spent loads of money on things that didn't work. Exercise equipment, pay to play groups, gyms...

My honesty: my life style sucks and I'm not making smart choices, consistently. Anyone who's like me - needs to lose around 40 +\- lbs. and wants to band together to do this together, let me know.

We could all use a little help. I certainly need some support with this and will give support likewise.

    Terrific Amanda, thanks for replying. 8-)

    I'm starting my "conscious diet" tomorrow, so jump right in if you feel like starting sometime this week or whenever.

    Hey everyone -

    It had been so long since I originally signed up with this site, I totally forgot I had a handle already!

    Discovered my error and then, accidentally deactivated the wrong account, lol.

    If you happened to befriend me this morning, please invite me again with my sincere apologies.

    I'm a dork, that needs your support. 8-)

    Oh Katie ... I'm there with you. Just dropped an extremely expensive personal trainer after 8 months with her yielded zero pounds lost.

    I need to lose a minimum of 30 pounds and truly more like 45#. We're going on vacation at the end of April and I want to lose 1# a week until then (16 # should put me into some size 12s pretty comfortably). I know what to do, I just don't seem to do it.

    I need motivation and I do better with a group ... so count me in!

    Hey Janine -

    I just posted about "old, forgotten and expensive gym equipment." Your personal trainer counts as that. Did you learn ANYTHING from him/her? Hopefully all is not lost? Please share, if you can.

    I think your 30 lbs is do-able by time your vacation rolls around, btw, so I'll help as much as I can. Honestly, 30-40 lbs would be ideal for me too, so we can do it together.

    Hey guys -

    I'm open to invites from anyone who wants to pair up.

    My biggest weaknesses are portions and eating late at night.

    Anyone else want to share???

    I want to lose more than 40, but I am in for support and motivation. I have a pretty good routine down, and I recommend trying free classes at the gym. I do a bootcamp, and my inner competative spirit kicks in when I see all the girls working out!!! Try it

    Hi! I need to lose another 30# and am frustrated as hell! I consistently eat healthy, and try to exercise at least 3-4 times per week but the weight loss is SLOW and sometimes non existent

    We're going on a cruise in March and I want to lose another 15 pounds before then. I am journaling and exercising but VERY frustrated.

    I'd love to have as many like minded friends as possible in this journey...feel free to friend me and let's keep eachother motivated!

    Hey guys -

    Mellie and I are gonna start a group I think.

    Feel free to sign up, if you think it will help you.

    I know just being in touch with you all has helped me stay on track and reading various posts about their exercise routines is pushing me to move forward.

    The group is up on the site now - it's called Dewars (not the liquor!).

    I'm going to try and post something (hopefully) helpful everyday and if more of us participate daily, it could really snowball into something positive.

    The more, the merrier - ALL are welcome, especially newbies and any returning members who want to try and change their life style for the better!
