Where it shows connected...try to disconnect, then re-add it. I have had to do this several times too. Good luck!

I have about 75 more I want to lose. :) Happy to support others on this journey!

When I first lost the weight (started in 2012) it was because I was so tired of feeling sick, huge, and invisible. I couldn't keep up with my kids (they were 7 and 3 at the time.) Obesity runs in my family and I decided I was NOT going to be like that for the rest of my life. Long story short I gained most of the weight…

Me! I started Keto on January 8 but have not been strictly following it since Memorial Day. Back on track as of yesterday. :)
-
Very drastic difference! I lost 111 pounds over 5 years ago and I felt better than I ever had. Physically things were better but I think more of the change is mental - I felt better about myself therefore I wanted to do more. I gained much of it back :( but restarted earlier this year. I'm down about 40 since January and…

Feel free to add me. I'm down 60 with another 60 to go. :)
-
I'll add you. :) I've been Keto since January 8th and I love it. Best to you on your journey!
-
Feel free to add me. My highest weight was around 300. Been at this for a while (I lost a bunch, then regained a lot back.) Would be happy to encourage you on your journey. <3

Hey there fellow Midwesterner! (I'm from Michigan.) I also work a desk job. Would love to stay connected with you!

Welcome! Feel free to add me as a friend. :) Wishing you the best on your journey!

@DMB147 - I'm sorry you are feeling so frustrated. I can totally relate! :( Have you looked into a low-carb or keto diet? It can be very helpful for women with PCOS. I started it on January 8 and am down 19 pounds. Not trying to push it on you, but just wanted to share because it's the first thing in a long time that has…

PCOS here! I'm actually having very good success with the keto diet - first time I've been able to lose in for-ev-er! Would be happy to stay connected with you. It can be defeating working so hard and losing slowly. But slow loss is better than none. We've got this! <3

Short term goal - lose 25 by my birthday (May 4) Long term goal - lose 70 from current weight
-
Hugs!! I can totally relate! I lost 111 pounds but gained back 74. It is so hard. I went through a phase of being very angry with myself, but now I'm just giving myself some grace and starting again. I also have PCOS and hypothyroidism so I know that those just make it all the harder to lose. It's possible though. We've…

Hey there! I can SO related to falling off the wagon!! :( I started keto on January 8 and am loving it. I would love to stay connected with you!

I'd be happy to stay connected with you! :)

I used an arm band for a long time but didn't like how it felt. I bought a Flip Belt and LOVE it. Can't recommend it enough. Good luck!

Motivation is an emotion. Emotions can't always be trusted. ;) Instead of waiting on motivation it helps me to focus on being disciplined. I don't always feel like meal prepping, but it's part of my goal. I don't always want to go to the gym but I made a commitment to myself. Focus on your "whys" and just do it.
-
Hey there. I can really relate to this. I lost 111 pounds at one point and had just a little left to lose, but I was so burnt out and going through some hard times. I ended up gaining 74 pounds back. Take it from me - you do not want to go back to where you were! If you are feeling overwhelmed then just focus on…
-
Me!! Several years ago I lost a lot of weight and developed a love of running. I even ran a half marathon! Then...fell WAY off track. I'm getting back into running and want to build back up to a half - but for now working towards a 5K. :)
-
You have an amazing attitude! You've got this!! :)
-
Welcome Heather! I have found that tracking works best for me too. I can't be too "free" with my food choices. I have about 75 more pounds to lose. I'd love to stay connected with you. Best to you on your journey! :)
-
One day at a time, one pound at a time. You CAN do this!!! :)
-
Welcome! I think it's very important to find your "why". For me it's my two kids - I want to set a great example for them and to be healthy and active with them. Whenever you are struggling don't think about how hard this is - think about your beautiful grandkids! Makes such a big difference. Best of luck to you on your…
-
I just finished week 3 of keto and I LOVE it! Down 17 pounds since Jan. 8! :)
-
I will add you! I have about 70 more to go
-
Hi there and welcome! I'd love to stay connected with you on your journey. You have a first goal in mind - that's great! Now think of a non-food reward for yourself when you hit it. :) Rewarding yourself is the fun part! I do not set goals like "I'm going to lose 10 pounds this month" because weight loss is tricky and for…

Hey there! I would love to stay connected with you!

Lol - the Divorce Diet is the best, huh? I dropped a lot of weight during mine too. (Unfortunately I gained a bunch back.) Congrats on your loss - that's awesome! Would love to stay connected!
