Feel free to add me and be accountable to each other. I am 31. I have last 53 pounds so far with another 90 or so to go.

Thank you so much to all of you. I have my head on straight and I am going to get my logging on track. I am so grateful to have a community of people who are so willing to help!
-
@mmultanen I think that our bodies work similarly. It is nice to know that this has worked for you and I am definitely going to make it a priority to start tracking!
-
@cstehansen I absolutely am feeling better and moving better. It is actually pretty incredible how much of an improvement I have made there. Thank you for the advice on fasting. This is actually something that I haven't ever looked into so I will follow up with the videos like you suggested.

@bailey2208 Those are all good reminders for me. I know I do not drink enough water and often forget how important it is with this diet. I am just recovering from surgery but am going to hop back on the elliptical tomorrow and need to get a strength training plan in place. I also think the suggestion of sticking to meats…

@xerogs1 Congratulations to you as well. I think it would do me some good to adapt to your mentality. In fear of going off on a tangent I will say that I feel like anymore we always want instant gratification. Weight loss is definitely something where that just isn't possible. Slowly but surely I will be lowering those…

@baconslave Thank you so much for the calculator and chart! I was able to calculate a reasonable goal for macros and calories. I think you are right that logging would make a huge difference. I am going to sit down this weekend and log next week ahead of time. That was such a great idea. I will see if logging this way will…

@KnitOrMiss Wow! You are a wealth of information! I had no idea that I should be doing a phase to maintain. I will look into that. You are also right about being frenemies with the scale. Years ago I had a trainer and had lost a lot of weight. Food was my enemy. I remember visiting my best friend and she asked to meet up…

@Cadori You make some very good points. I actually have noticed a lot of changes on this journey but my divorce was also finalized in October. Having a reduction in stress, starting to work out again and losing the weight has really improved my overall sense of self and my moods. Thank you for the encouragement!

@catherinearchbold Thank you! So much of what you said is spot on. This is the first time in my life that I have changed my lifestyle to lose weight and felt like I could maintain it. That in and of itself should be a huge victory. So far I have no loose skin. I am very thankful for that and hopefully continue the trend!

Hi all! I am needing this extra bit of support so happy to have found you all. My name is Whitney. I am 31 and live in Washington. After a horrendous separation I decided I had let me weight get out of control and was ready to focus on me. I began my weight loss journey at 340 pounds in February 2017. Today I stepped on…

I feel your pain. I recently divorced and my ex was very unsupportive. When I met him I was the healthiest I had ever been, but he did not like that it impacted his lifestyle. He told me he loved me regardless of how much I weighed and I let that give me permission to spiral out of control. My best advice to you is to stay…

You should never feel shame if you are authentically yourself. I hope you find this feeling regardless of if it is through losing weight or not.

I just turned 30 a few months ago and something finally clicked. Take me, leave me or love me but here I am. I am done being self conscious about who I am or what I look like but am motivated to be healthy for myself. They say the 30s are the best years of your life. Cheers to making that happen!

I recently started the Harry Dresden books. They are about a wizard detective. These books are the lovechild of Harry Potter and Nancy Drew... but written for adults. :)
-
I hadn't but I will now! I listen to a lot of nerdy podcasts.
-
If you liked S-Town then definitely check out Serial and This American Life. Stuff you should know can also be interesting :)
-
A man with sexual prowess... break me off a piece of that!
-
I just started today and am looking for motivation as well. Anyone feel free to add me. :)
-
Added! Thanks so much! Carbage... haha I love it!
-
That is what I am hoping for! Any tips?
-
Thanks! I am still trying to figure this app out. I added it and appreciate your help!

I have spent the past several years taking care of someone else and putting myself last. I am finishing up with a horrendous divorce. Now is the time to take care of me and the revenge body will just be a nice side effect. :wink:
