I started at 245 and now am 238.6. I’m 5’2. My goal weight is 145 but look okay at 150. I agree to not go by the BMI scale. Especially if you’re 5’9. Definitely go by what you feel comfortable with. For me, I would be too thin at 125 and I’m 5’2. We can do it ladies. We are past the holidays and it’s a fresh start. The…

You have done well so far Donna. Just keep working at it one day at a time, one hour at a time. It’s very helpful to know we are all going through the journey together and can support each other.

Thanks for the advice and suggestions from both of you. only went off track a little on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day I went a lot over (Mother in law served spaghetti and lasagna instead of turkey. I decided it will be okay since I am back on track today. I guess it’s more about the big picture, right?

With Christmas in a few days, any suggestions to get through it without going off track? Advice? Tips?

@Corina1143 I am doing okay on 1,500 calories a day but will try to lower it a bit each week until I get to 1,200 calories. I am also trying to cut my food into smaller pieces so it not only looks like more, but will take me longer to eat so I have more of a chance of feeling full. (I used to eat my food very quickly and…

I have been using MyFitnessPal for a week. I have lost 4.2 lbs. I know most of that is probably mostly water weight but I will take it. My goal for each day is 1,500 calories. This is a big change for me as I used to eat whatever I wanted without even thinking about it. I would like to cut back to 1,200 calories but am…

Hi Mariahshamblin1984. I am new as well. We all need the love and support. :)

Corina1143 I am very impressed that you have lost 90+ pounds. That is such an inspiration to me - knowing it can be done. Not sure what would rekindle your motivation but maybe promising to buy yourself something you want when you reach that last bit? Just a thought. Since you've done so well so far, I totally believe you…

Whoo hoo!🎉😁

I accept the challenge. 🙂

Thank you for the advice. I agree. I do plan on keeping it to myself. Thank you for the encouragement. I have done well the last two days and am looking forward to being successful. It’s one day at a time and sometimes one hour at a time. I look forward to becoming the best version of me. 🙂

Thank you. I want to improve my health and feel better. I want to live my life enjoying it instead of wondering if I can go somewhere and fit in a seat or if I can walk that far. I want to feel confident again and not wonder what people might be thinking about me. In the past, when I told family about trying to lose…

Thank you. 🙂

It’s not working. 😕. I found Challenges and did follow but can’t seem to follow her or her challenge. Sorry. Just not very tech savvy.

I can’t seem to find her. How do I locate her group?

Thank you.

Thank you for the welcome. I’m still trying to figure out discussion board/groups. The one I was interested in is My 100 lb Journey as I need to lose 110 lbs. Any guidance is appreciated. :)

I would like to be added. I have lost 11.6 lbs so far but need to lose 100 lbs more.

I would appreciate being added as I need the support. I am 62 and weigh 255.6. It’s a little overwhelming as I need to lose 105.6 lbs. I need to be accountable to someone instead of doing it myself. Exercise is difficult for me as I need a knee replacement but they won’t do it unless I lose at least 40 pounds first. I know…

I am starting over as well. I have 100 lbs to lose and it feels overwhelming. Trying to stay motivated has been a challenge. I'm trying to figure out how to best exercise since I have a desk job and have issues with my knees. I think I'll try to take my calorie allotment for the day and break it down to per meal and snack.…
