I'm currently on 37.5. I previously had a great experience with it, though I HATE the side effects. It's helped me learn to manage my eating better and it does give me a boost of energy. The downside is if I take it every day, I start to get tired and foggy. I have to detox off of it every so often, which is a major crash…

I can't tell you what will work for you, I can only speak on what works for me. I have drastically reduced my carb intake (basically zero bread, crackers, pasta, rice) , and I eat around 1200 calories a day. I drink an INSANE amount of water, I watch my sodium, and I make sure I have plenty of snacks throughout the day. My…

I have been where you are and I know how miserable it can be feeling hungry and deprived all the time. I previously tried cutting down my calories, and not looking at what I was actually eating (diet/reduced fat). I was miserable. I constantly felt hungry and cranky. I decided to change my approach, and switched from…

^^^ Love this! It sucks, you feel guilty/sick/bloated etc... but everybody slips up sometimes. Chug water and start again tomorrow!

Honestly, I had to break down my main goal into smaller goals. Although I'm still not a huge fan of what I see when I look in the mirror, I am happy with myself because I know that I am doing EVERYTHING in my power to get to my bigger goal. Go easy on yourself! It's so easy to get discouraged, and you have to make sure…

Feel free to add me! The more friends, the more fun the journey! :)

I'm very sorry to hear about your mom. I think what everyone has suggested is spot on! Emotional eating is a deeper issue and the solution isn't "just don't do it." Remember to be kind to yourself during this stressful time, and take time out of your day to do something nice for yourself (take a walk, take a bath). I have…

Congrats!! Enjoy your new jeans! :)

We all stumble at times! I have found what really helps me is having friends, and posting to hold myself accountable. I am fortunate enough to have an awesome support system in my friends, family, and coworkers. Do you have someone who understands what you're going through?

Welcome!! Feel free to add me! I have found that having friends on here helps a bunch, and it's an awesome way to stay motivated! :D

Anyone can add me! The journey is so much more fun with friends along :D

Like everyone else is saying: PICTURES! I know for me, I hated looking at myself in the mirror, and avoided pictures at all costs! It took a very long time for me to look in the mirror and be okay with what I saw once I started my weight loss journey. I know I'm not where I want to be, but it's SO important to give…

Making any lifestyle change can be difficult, but I'm sure you will feel so much better without it. If you feel that cutting it out cold turkey is too difficult for you at this time, why don't you focus on cutting down the sugar, and adding in mini goals like drinking more water, or going for a walk three times a week?…

I live in Alameda, work in pleasanton! Always looking for new friends in the area! Feel free to add me :)

I know exactly how you feel! It's always easier to have people cheering you on, and I've found that my newsfeed is pretty slow. Location: Bay Area, CA Starting Weight: 199.8 Current Weight: 179.4 Goal Weight: 130 Mini Goal: To hit 160 before New Years :) I would love to be able to offer support to you guys, as well as…

Hi Ladies! I'm looking for the same support and motivation! Let's motivate each other? I'm Lizzy, 25, from the Bay Area, CA. Feel free to add me!

I'm in the same boat! I stopped using the app and I ended up gaining all my weight back, and then some. Feel free to add me! :) I need the motivation!

I'm just over the hill at 25, but feel free to add me :) Support is always good!
