Looking for support and friendships

Hi everyone! In January 2012, my husband and I told my immediate family that we were going to get skinny. They laughed at us. Since then, we have made it our mission to kill it everyday. I started at 211 lbs and am down to 178! I feel like it is getting so much harder to lose anything and so much hard to stay away from temptation. I am looking for some support and a cheering section. I need some challenges from people that are in the same boat as me.

BTW I still have at least 50 lbs to lose. Thanks for looking!

    Great job. How did your immediate family react after you lost 33 pounds?

    You look great. Nice work on the WL. You must be very proud of your achievements. How's hubby going?

    Wow, congrats!!! That is quite an accomplishment, and with your attitude and motivation, I'm sure you will get to your goal sooner than you think. Just know that you have a new (MFP) family here who will support you through your journey!
