Welcome!!!! The best advice I have is that "we get no lasting results until we really, really put our mind to it and put in the work"!!!! We can do this.

If you made it that close to your goal, please don't give up. You obviously have what it takes to lose. Maintain the good habits you have developed. Remember, it's hard to lose, hard to maintain and also hard to be overweight as someone on fitness pal said. We have to choose our hard. Hope this helps!!! I'm struggling too.…

I just bought T-25 and am about to start using it today.

How do I join? I'm 5' 1" and too heavy.

Nice work!

You guys all have such great advice. This helps me also. Thanks to everyone.

Very helpful!!!

So glad you asked that. I have the same problem and could really use some motivation. I'm finding out that a big part of weight loss is in our minds. We have to do positive self talk and exercise self control and discipline and like someone said regarding your post, we REALLLLLLLYYYYYY have to want it for ourselves and…

Good advice!!!!!

Hey, thanks. Your words have inspired me too. I am having the same problem as shelisa619.

Hey, that helped me too!!! It's really true. Unless I keep myself on track, no one can do it for me.

Encouraging!!!! Thanks for sharing!

I, too, am aiming for about 135 - 130 and then will adjust from there.

Nice!!!! The health problems follow the extra weight. It's been a real challenge for me, but I'm closer than I was yesterday.

Nice weight loss!!! Keep up the good work.

Innocent kids. They mean no harm but they really can give you a reality check. I had a similar experience.

I,too, go up and down and seem to play around with the same 5 pounds lately. What has inspired and motivated me is the fit bit flex. It tracks your activity. I am inspired to exercise and through friendly competition, I compete with others on the fitbit flex that I have friended. I don't talk much trash. I just challenge…

You show that it can be done!!!! Nice work!!!

PROFOUND!!!

Wow, I'm still at the beginning. You have come so far. NEVER GIVE UP!!!!

IMPRESSIVE!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Great job!!!!

You are amazing!!!! Never give up!!

Right for the sake of our health, we must do something.

It's just a smaller plate in general as far as I know and you just put smaller portions on it.

Very nice, everyone!!!! What motivation I have now. One pound loss at a time!!! Oh I wish this were faster but I want to do it the healthy way and develop good new habits in the process.

Very nice. I am working on adding profile and close up face pics!!! They really tell the story better than words can say!!!
