Hi I'm 5' 1 1/2" and I started at 240. I'm on week 6 and I've lost 18.8 lbs. Please feel free to add me! I'm always looking for others to help motivate each other! It's been up and down but when I'm down I read success stories, before after photos, quotes, and new recipies! It's a way for me to remember that this is a…

Yes. I did an overhaul of my food just to test if it would make a difference. I didn't count calories for an entire week and the impact was huge. I come from a family that makes food a reason to hang out and bond. Butter, oil, fried, and baked cakes and cookies for days. Making pies from skratch, and even pizzas. After I…

Sure thing :) we have a personal trainer and gym at work. She makes up these exercises for me. I'm just trying to get some strength back. So push ups, crunches, high knees, jumping jacks, elliptical, dumbbell punches, curls, shoulder press, stationary bike, squats, jumping squats, and toe taps... Usually I do 4 or 5 things…

Last week I was on a Spaghetti Squash Kick! I cooked it the night before and just put it in the fridge. I'm sure you could cook more for more days, but it's so filling and so low in calories. The best part is my daughter is crazy about it! I top mine with hamburger/marinara.

I was amazed to experience this so early in my journey. Yes, my family likes to offer food, and say it's ok to miss meal prep, and say a workout is not tough enough. They only work out with me for 10min and bail. My mother also likes to remind me of how I used to be such a pretty girl, and I need to take better care of…

:) I can't wait!

I understand feeling alone. My whole family always talks about being healthier, but then ask if I want pizza or ice cream... Food is the way my family always bonded. Cooking from scratch, baking, making large amounts of sugary meals to binge on. I started eating better and my mom was like I need to do that, but never means…

Hi, I'm only a month in on my journey, and about 1 week in on regular exercise. I'm an intern for a wonderful company that has a gym and a personal trainer for their employees. I finally strummed up enough courage to go talk to her.... As it turns out she went to my highschool. I have shame for being out of shape, but I'm…

I'm a month in and looking for friend and motivation :)

:) you are doing great! Just that one step in the right direction is amazing. I was a chubby child, teen, and then started swimming. I went from big to fit in no time. Then 10yrs after highschool and a child I never learned to be healthy and made my way to the highest weight in my life plus a bunch. I continued eating as I…

I used to be a swimmer and it was my life. This was just highschool, and that was 10 years ago, but I still feel giddy when I smell the chlorine. A membership to the Y is out of the budget for now, so I'm a fish on dry land. It makes my heart happy to hear about others that have found out how great it is! I'm proud of you!…

I can't tell you how much food I gave away to start this diet. It made it easier to train myself to look at every label of every food I come across. So many things surprise me. I'm on day 9 and looking for some accountability friends. I tried logging in on JJ's site but it looks like no one has posted in a long while. I…
