I need to start as well, I keep putting it off, I could really use a group to get me going :)

Welcome Nina!!! My story is pretty close to yours, in this stage of my journey I have been trying to let myself have a few sweets but if course that's rest out of hand still and I eat the entire bag of gummies or oreos lol and I know I can't go cold turkey, I'm miserableand the kids give it to me - they actually say I need…

Hi Karen, believe it or not but this post is so inspiring to me today, I was pretty miserable this week because I realized that I have been dieting since January 1st and I haven't even lost 30 pounds yet and I have probably another 100 to loose. I was just thinking it would take me over 2 years to get there at this rate…

I learned this week that things do get easier on the body!!!! From January to March I said I would go to the gym because walks outside hurt my knees and I ended up overdoing it and not exercising at all for 4 weeks. April I bought an elliptical and it took me until the end of May not to almost pass out after 15 minutes of…

Hi Tammy, I'm right there with you weighing in over the 300 mark in January... I figure if every January I am lower than the year before I'm doing good right??? It will probably be my forever struggle lol!!! Glad to see you here, please share any helpful titbits you learn at your appointments 😉. Hugz, Lyn

1. I think it's just as important to count and monitor the days you fall of the wagon (or just decide to stop dieting for a while) as it is to track while your dieting. You can catch yourself sooner if things get wildly off track... 2. Get rid of your too big clothes and things that remind you of the past as soon as you…

Happy birthday!!! Ps I think your allowed to round on your birthday, so in my eyes you made 215..... What's more important is I bet those size 14s are going to o fit and feel sooooo good!!!! Awesome job!!!!

Coming from the perspective of someone who has lost 100 and regained 110 back (after my dad died suddenly) and am starting back at scratch, I can tell you that even if my metabolism did slow down there is really no one to blame but me for letting it all go for so long... 110 pounds took 9 years to put back on. It might get…

Very insightful, thanks for that!!! I haven't even figured out a target weight lol. I gained my 100 pounds after I lost my dad suddenly when he was 59... I had an "I don't care" mentality and did other Scarry self sabotaging things too over the past 9 years, not just my weight. Over time the grief has lessened and I…

Hi everyone, my friend @gewel321 told me that this is a great group to join for some more community support. I am not yet comfortable enough to share numbers and pictures so I had started a private group "Started 2020 in the 300s" with others in the same situation for this purpose, but I look forward to getting more tips…

Well a big set back last month with everything in turmoil.... But keeping in touch with the community has made me jump back on the band wagon much faster than i normally would....I'm focusing on creating new routines four our new norm and not letting the pandemic be an excuse to eat away the stress. I got this, thank you…

@Luckee_me no worries, I made it super easy, the group name is the same as the title of this thread "Started 2020 in the 300s" Actually maybe that makes things more confusing lol. Hugz, Lyn

@Luckee_me I have send you an invitation, if you go into community it should be listed under forums at the bottom I was doing so well down about 20 pounds, i just had a HUGE setback so I'm just trying to reset :( Hugz, Lyn

Wow!!!! @Luckee_me our little group could sure use some tips, you seem to be on an awesome roll!!! I will add you! Hugz, Lyn

@cheesenobiscuit i will add you as a moderator so that you can do it!!! Lol I am in it!! We will get this moving!! Hugzzz, lyn

@mattsweightloss2020 and @labreemike adding you both!!!!

@Silvercloud44 that would be awesome, I'm going to add you right now. Hugz, Lyn

How is everyone doing out there??? I'm finding things getting so much tougher.... Not sure if it is because of this self isolating, the very few posts now in my little group, or if the new years resolution commitment has just warn off lol. I'm starting to slip again, but I'm still posting to my little group in hopes that I…

Well it has been over two weeks in the house, i have thankfully made a little progress but my little group has been so quiet... It's sad but my focus has just been to not eat my stress away lol. It has taken me 3 full month's to get into the 200s.... I have to really trying and focus on not sliding back...like I always do.…

@coydavid I have a small group for those of us starting in the 300s, it's good to have a familiar group to vent to when things go downhill.... (And trust me as a mother of 2 it just will at some point!). I hope you come and share your journey with us! I'll send an invite shortly. Good luck on getting ready for baby! Lyn

@ShockDoctor7 what you are explaining i have been through exactly... I creeped a lot of the posts in many groups and it was a little daunting before i created my little group., I would say that knowing there is a small group of people looking for me really pushes me to open my app and keep going, it feels a little more…

@GetFitKells Sounds like so many of us in our group.... Just keep going forward my friend, we will get there!!!! Sending invite now

[/quote] @Nightfly01 i have added you!!

@terri_journey I'm actually amazed just at the people who have started in January and have already stopped logging in for weeks.... I have sent you an invite, I'm still just starting so I'm excited to hear you share with our little group what lazy keto means because you are crushing it!!!

Well I am back in the 300s, easy go easy come??? Lmao!!!! Thought I would post back in here that I'm still ticking along....I'm not giving up just yet... My group of amazing people are still helping me move forward. Love that I am surrounded by others in the same boat.... Onward and downward I go! Lol If there are others…

@SuzMac1981 I started my own group called Started 2020 in the 300s and have invited many folks in the same boat. .... You are more than welcome to join me, although I am not over 400, I Could easily be if I don't change my habits soon 😉 There are a couple in this group that are over 400, basically I just wanted a place to…

@froggrl83 I totally hear that my friend!!!!! That is where I was a few months ago, and then for me I realized it wasn't logging of food or exercising that would KEEP me moving along the straight path, it will be the people i talk to along the way that will help pull me kicking and screaming lol!!!! So this time I started…

@cheesenobiscuit I have added you!!!

Wohoooo. Just hit 299.8,. It's been a while since i have been there!!!! Just wanted to share with everyone. I definitely notice how much being a part of a judge free private group makes a difference this time around in my journey!!!!
