This is my second time around as well! Let's all do our best!

Add me if you'd like as well! 23/F and hoping to lose around 55 lbs. GW is 165 by New Year's (currently 188). I'm pretty active, and in dire need of friends as well. I log my workouts as well if you need inspiration. I don't work at a desk job, but I'm studying for the LSAT, so I'm pretty much at a desk all day anyway...

Sorry to but in: During these weight fluctuations, what would you say is one's true weight? The higher or lower number?

What does an excess of protein do to digestion? Will you not "do the number two" as often? (Apologies if anyone finds this question to be on the crass side!)

Hey! I think we're in similar positions. Ever since I graduated in August, I have been gaining weight due to a copula of reasons -- sedentary lifestyle, stress, etc. -- and I want to nip things in the bud before it's too late. I lost 55 pounds (220-165) in the past, so I know it's not impossible to achieve huge weight loss…

I'm looking for something similar as well. Sending you a friend request right now. :)
