Totally understand. You can add me if you like.

I prefer romaine to iceberg, romaine or spinach for my salad base always.

I am going by what myfitnesspal calculated. I did walk very briskly today and I speed biked to my parents.

I went on a 20 minute vigorous bike ride. That combined with my 60 minute brisk pace walk this afternoon burned 826 calories total.

Welcome, I suffer from high cholesterol too.

Me too!

Listening to Marianas Trench, dealing with heart burn, trying to ignore my next door neighbor's loud visitor (I am in a dormitory).

Gotta lose half my weight to be out of the obese and overweight zone. Starting weight 255, goal weight 128. Let's do this!

I have PCOS too. I'm here for you dear. For anyone with this problem.

It probably is a flavor thing. I guess there are not as many parallels in my tastes as I would hope. Would you say I am off to a good start with what I do like? Or could I still grow in tastes?

Do you need a buddy in person or do you want someone to check in with like a sponsor who you can help too?

Hello!

You can add me. How are you today? I just started here.

I am 23, 5'0", and weigh 255. I need to lose 127. I am also a student. My goal is take advantage of the salad bar/veggie and fruit station and to watch portions on meat and dessert. I hope it works!

Add me if you like. I know how you feel.

I am in your same boat. I went from 138 to 220 from my senior year of HS to my freshman year of college. I now way 255 and I am 23. I need support and advice as well. All I can say is, give it time. No one is the same, we cannot lose at the same rate. Do not set lofty goals, work at it and let it be natural. My goal is to…

Count me in! I need to lose 127 which is almost half of my current weight. I definitely need help.

I just joined this morning. I have a massive weight loss to undertake and I cannot wait to meet it. I've given myself till May 2017. Depending on how fast I lose I may reevaluate and make my end date sooner. Too soon to tell.

I know right? But I like the honesty, I do not take offense.

You can do it! I get disheartened all the time too. But I joined this site to take it seriously. You need a buddy, you got one! I have a bigger weight loss requirement. 127 pounds, translates to about 9 stone I think. ish?

Just finished Bones season 10. May start: iZombie, How to Get Away with Murder, and Girl Meets World (to see if it is as good as Boy Meets World). One at a time though.

I agree with faely, be comfortable but also careful. I blog about my weight loss on my blog on this site. I may do it on my other blog but I have not decided yet. I do not want to do videos personally.

You can add me too! I need people to whup my butt over this weight loss thing. We can be each others drill sergeants.

To clarify, this Netflix workout was just an idea for a warm up, not the whole exercise regimen. Mostly I like to walk and I want to work up to jogging and running since I loved it as a child. I also have access to a gym as a college student. What I want is a varietal regimen. If that makes sense.

I meant people who would rather be watching TV. People whose lives are mostly sedentary.

I want to use more machines. Things to strengthen my abdomen, arms (my left arm especially, much weaker than my right), legs, and improve my breathing. I hate being out of breath walking up steps. I want to eventually be able to rock climb like I used to and keep up with my future kids. I want exercise to be a habit not a…

I work out 5 days a week at 30 minute blocks. I am trying to watch portion sizes the most and count calories. I want to be down 127 pounds by May 2017.

My biggest diet issue is watching portion sizes. That is why I try to avoid high carb foods, but that is not part of my diet plan officially.

I am counting calories but also keeping track of percentage of protein, fats, carbs, and sugars. Or is that a given with calorie counting?

Thank you everyone!
