I'm sorry you're feeling stressed. This weightless journey is hard but I know it will be worth it. You just have to want it bad enough. You'll have to make lots of sacrifices and be able to say no. But you are worth it :) don't let little slip ups stop you from reaching your ultimate goal. You can do it!

That's so cool we have the same birthday! We should all keep in touch somehow. I would like to have some friends that help keep me on track and I can help them vice versa. I would like to see where we are once November 18 comes. That gives me even more motivation :)) feel free to add me on here.

Go us! I've never really been in good shape all my life and it's something that I would really love to achieve and attain. I probably won't be at my goal by my birthday given the amount of time and where I'm at but at my heaviest I was 250 before I gave birth to my daughter. I've come a long way since then. I will be 27…

I weigh 163 since last Wednesday. I don't do well weighing myself everyday so I'm going to stick with weighing every Wednesday once a week. I would be happy to lose 10 lbs. I am looking to tone my body as I go with weightlifting. I haven't really incorporated exercise until recently so I'm looking forward to seeing faster…

Watch this guy on YouTube. I fell in love with his videos. Search fat meets fire. Just discovered him a few days ago.

That's awesome ! I'm happy you are finally putting yourself and health first. Reaching your goal will be amazing once you accomplish it. I've reached goals lately and this one I've always wanted. I can't wait to be a happier healthier version of me. If you need motivation on YouTube I love this guy. His screen name is fat…

Do you know about how many cals that burns ^^^? Looks like a good workout !

Thanks! I'll download it.

These all are good tips! Thanks everyone :) I'm looking forward to trying out the weight machines at work.

I appreciate all the responses. It's almost scary how fast things can change in your own little world by one person. We were discussing this. And yes we are very blessed. Only time will tell what will happen from here on out. :)

I work in the health care field and I see tons of patients that tell me they don't ever drink water. It's soda all day long. It's crazy. They have a ton of health problems and I believe most are from soda and little to no water alone. I understand that water is vitally important. I was just wondering how it actually aided…

Yay! I haven't been exercising too much but I would put barely any calories burned so I wouldn't go over. I worked my butt of today at work and my Fitbit synced in my diary and it claims I burned roughly 800 calories. So that's exciting. I'm still not sure how it figures all that out. So I ate some cals back and am still…

Welcome! Feel free to add me.

Welcome Hanna! You're in a good place !

You are beautiful :) congrats!!!

I'm in a very similar situation , although this is my first time logging my calories. I'm deteined to get down to 140. I'm 5'3. We should encourage eachother :) August 30th is a good goal. How many calories are you typically eating in a day now ?

Me too! I'd love to be at 140. I was 150+ throughout high school. I'm 5'3. :)

Thanks for the suggestions! I was eating eggs and yogurt everyday for awhile and took a break but I agree with you, they are a great food plus high protein. Popcorn sounds good! I also love chicken. I'll have to make some egg salad. Sounds delicious.

I totally understand. It's a mix of motivation and the preference of using a machine to burn a lot of calories and something in front of me telling me how much I'm burning. A workout at home doesn't do that. Plus maybe being in an environment where other people are working out may help others be more motivated, including…

I Was excited to try a club fitness right by my house. I looked it up online and it has nothing but terrible reviews. :(

Ilovefastcarstoo@aol.com Add me :)

My email to add me on Fitbit is ilovefastcarstoo@aol.com

I have the Fitbit flex... Having trouble getting it to sync with MFP. It asks for email and password but won't let me change if input wrong one in or forgot it :/

My sister bought mine as a gift on eBay. It was used so it was much cheaper than buying new. Sometimes there's sales and you can find them online cheaper. Just do some research. There's also different kinds to meet different needs. Add me !

More friends the merrier ;)

It's crazy how many calories some meals at most restaurants can have. I think for most people, not eating out near as much can help a ton.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I think I will try some gyms out and see what works for me. I believe me going to a gym will help me workout. We will see. Good luck on your journeys! :)

Good point... Also our sizes are actually bigger than what they used to be. Our plates when you make meals at home our bigger. It's crazy how things change...

I totally agree with this. Even though I am considered plus size, I don't think it's anything anyone should want to promote. It is unhealthy and in my opinion not attractive. That's my two biggest reasons for wanting to get in shape/ lost weight. I also know that I currently would feel more comfortable dating a man that is…
