Hi I am doing the same things would love to support one another!!

I am pre-op too...surgery Dec 13th. trying to do as much as I can before.

Sinead..I know how you feel. You are right...walk off the soreness and get that lactic acid out of your muscles!! It is so tempting to just sit around when you are sore, but the walking is great to help.

Great idea Shy. My name is Dawn. I am a teacher from the US but I live abroad. I have for 10 years in 3 different countries. Right now I am in Saudi Arabia...so I often wish for the weather in the UK...but it will never happen here. :) I have lost 30 pounds since October and have about 70 more to go. I am really grateful…

You can do this! I started at the same time Oct 2015. I also am just breaking through a slow time/plateau and am now down 30 lbs. I will weigh officially tomorrow. Keep it up!

Thanks for the support.. I managed to keep to my goal..eating clean, and fitting in workouts on both crazy stressful days. I felt so great getting in the pool for a swim. It is really warm here and swimming laps is a great workout! AND I am excited to have had over 10K steps every day this week. And I love Girl Scout…

Being a teacher is great...really I love it, but on days like today and tomorrow (parent teacher conferences) we have weird schedules and lots of stress. I committed to myself to find a time to still work out and eat clean. It is days like this in the past that I rationalize why I cant do it (work out) or why I CAN eat…

Great day today! I love it when I leave the gym and my tshirt is dripping. It is a great feeling to work that hard. While I have a long way to go still, I finally feel like I am actually getting somewhere and moving toward my fitness goal! I can see the progress! YEA!!

WOW what an amazing start!! I have lost 30 and still have 80 more to go. Add me and I will support you the best that I can!

THANKS! everyone has been really friendly...this is the first day I have reached out to the community. Glad to finally have a few friends. It is an off day from my trainer, so I walked 2.5 miles outside. I love being outside and am hoping it stays cool enough for a bit longer. I will go on the treadmill if I need to, but…

Yes I just returned and need some friends to help keep me going when things get tough. Happy to support others and help when I can!

I would like to be a part of your group. I am a teacher (living overseas) and have about 70 more pounds to lose. I am eating clean unprocessed food and do great until I travel for a long weekend or vacation...when I am not in control of my food prep. I will be more faithful about logging and sharing. Happy to motivate…

Here are some questions to get you started (feel free to cut & paste below to answer): 1. How long have you been on your weight loss/fitness journey? I am about 6 months in to this change of life. THis is really after many years of trying one thing or another. I have a trainer that I meet with a few times a week (4 times)…
