I'm the mother of a young son, too, and I'd like to lose the extra weight to keep up with him. Just sent you a friend request.

Lost 3.8 pounds this week! Only 9 more pounds before I'm back under 200 pounds!

Same here! I've wanted a pair of Citizens for Humanity jeans for so long now and have never been able to fit into them. So when I get down to goal, I'm going on a designer jeans spree!

Bump! Someday I'll get here.

I started at 220 and am now at 212.8. Ultimately, I'd like to be around 155, but that number is too big and daunting for me. So I'm breaking my goals down into smaller chunks of weight loss. My first goal is to get under 200 :) Feel free to add me. We can do this!

1/2 215.2 1/8 212.8 2.4 pounds lost this week!

You've done a really great job! I can totally see the difference! Keep up the good work.

Hello! I'm 35 years old and have a two-year old son. We have a similar amount of weight to lose. Feel free to add me for support!

OP: I could have written your post. I am exactly the same way you are. I can eat a bag of cookies or chips or chocolate in the car--then I need to hide all the evidence by throwing the trash out in a public waste can so no one knows that I'm out of control. I've figured that if I really want to eat something, I'll buy a…

I'm a 35-year old high school English teacher who works full-time. I have a 22-month old toddler, and my husband and I will be celebrating our 3rd anniversary in two weeks. I realize that I've spent a large portion of my life obsessing about my weight, wanting to be thin, and being sad that I am fat. It's a vicious cycle.…

I am also obsessed with food. I'm always wondering what I'm going to eat next. Like you, I also hide food wrappers so that no one else knows just how much I eat when I'm alone. Unfortunately, I don't know what the solution is. I do know, though, that it helps if I stop and check in with myself on how I'm really feeling.…

My new scale came in today! SW: 220 CW: 215.2 GW for end of January: 210 UGW: 155

I'm in the same spot as you, OP. I joined back in October but never put forth an effort. I am ready now :) We can do this!

I drink sparkling water in place of soda, and I think it's fine to drink. I've really developed a taste for it. My new scale is supposed to arrive from Amazon today, and I'm going to join the gym! Have a great day, everyone!

Hi There! We have some of the same struggles...I also have PCOS. I'm friending you now :)

Hi Everyone, Count me in! I won't be able to weigh myself until tomorrow, though (when my new scale arrives from Amazon, yeah!) I will update my starting weight (SW) tomorrow. SW: will update tomorrow CW: will update tomorrow GW: will update tomorrow UGW: 155 lbs.

Yes, I tried it and had the same experience as everyone else. Unpredictable explosive diarrhea and anal leakage. It's nasty! Don't do it!

I am also new here, but not new to emotional eating and hiding how much food I actually consume. One of the worst things I do is stop at a fast food drive through window on my way home from work and eat the food by myself in the car. I have to hide all traces of evidence well. Then when I get home, I eat the dinner my…

I'm also a school teacher and have only 30 minutes for lunch. I usually have frozen entrees, but I know those are full of sodium. I like the salad idea. I've found that in the past, if I get into the habit of having salad, my body starts to want it. However, I must admit I also get tired of eating the same thing over and…

This is an awesome goal! I'm 220 and would like to eventually weigh 145, but I'l be happy to be below 200 again :) Count me in!!!

I am currently around 220 and would like to lose at least 65 pounds. Please feel free to add me. I need all the motivation I can get!

Please feel free to add me as a friend. I need to lose over 65 pounds. I'm just getting started.

All of you sound awesome! Please feel free to add me as a friend. I feel like I can finally do this with such a supportive community.

Hello, my name is Caroline. I'm hoping that in 2013 I can develop healthy eating and exercise habits. I would love to be off my high blood pressure medication. I would also like to minimize my chances of developing Type 2 diabetes, which runs in my family. I would like to get rid of my knee and foot problems by being…

You look fantastic! Keep up the wonderful work! You're inspiring!
