I feel ya! I do fine when at work but my energy level dips when I am home and sad thoughts creep in. Looking forward to looking and feeling better. I think Spring will help.

I work nights so I am usually up.

5'2 here and have lost 7 lbs. 25 to go!

Night shifter on a psychiatric unit. Have about 25 lbs left to lose. Let's do this!

Georgia Peach here!

It is a slower road than we would all like. I just hit 5lbs today. Will take it as it comes!

5'2" here and 120 is my goal. SW 150 and current weight 144. Seems like a long way to go but I am up for the challenge.

Sorry I hit post reply before I wrote anything. It has been 17 days since I have had a glass of wine. Quite a big deal for me and I confident these 35 pounds stem in large part from overindulging. I plan to abstain until I lose the first 10 pounds!

I am a salty crunchy craver so I will eat a bag of Skinnygirl popcorn for 160 calories and it is very filling. I do miss not being able to put raisinettes in it like I used to! Just work it into your daily calories. My husband likes the low carb ice cream bars. They are very tasty.

I hate exercise but love cooking! I am new as well and have been forcing myself to walk 4-5 miles per day. Will add some weights after I get used to working out on a regular basis. I love this app. Very easy to track everything. Good luck in your journey. We will all encourage you.

I feel you! I soooo miss my wine in the evenings. When I lose 10 lbs I am for sure going to reward myself. I will work it into my daily calories but I might only be eating fruit that day! Lol

It is obvious you have the tools to do whatever you desire. I really admire you for your accomplishment. What an inspiration you are. So take a break and reassess what YOU want from this journey. Go from there. Good luck!

Just last night at work people were giving me a hard time about wanting to lose 35lbs.trust me I need it but so do they. I think it is just a form of jealousy. A lot of people can't stand it when others make an effort to prove their health . It is just too easy to be complacent. Watch me people.....just watch me!

I regret not staying in shape over the years.when I married I was 100 lbs and I am shocked I let myself get to 148. I know my daughter will get married one day and I don't want to be the fat one in the photos. I find myself not seeing my old friends that live in other states because of my appearance. All I have to do is…

I am also over 50 and have two great kids that are 20 and 23 along with a wonderful husband of almost 26 yrs. I work 2 days a week as a nurse and have been adding about 10 lbs a year for the last 3-4 yrs. I have always claimed to have an exercise allergy but the reality is I always felt intimidated going to the gym. I have…

I work nights as a nurse as well but I crave crunchy and salty in the middle of the shift! Feel free to add me since I haven't figured out how to do it!

I would love to join but I don't know how and I don't know how to add friends either! All this is new to me but with guidance I feel confident I can do it!
