In that middle age group, looking for active friends who have a lot of weight to rid themselves of... and get fit!!!

I have been working on my walking to get build up to the c25k. 3 weeks of walking = scared, but ready to start jogging. w1d1 here I come.

I'd like to work with a group. I need to lose between 70 and 100 lbs. (need to determine goal)

looking to add support also. I have been aiming to eat clean for 2 weeks. At the end of 2nd week and seems to be going well. The shift is driven to improve health and lose weight.

I just started doing zumba recently also. I think it is fun. I keep having a nagging fear that someone will record it because I feel I must look utterly ridiculous. I hope when my fitness improves, my rhythm will too.

I keep going up and down with the same 40... but I really want to lose 80. I agree that exercise is the key.

Great information.... I do count - but it is more to track and learn. I hope to get to a place where I don't need to. I am still learning what to eat - so tracking allows me to see what the macros of different foods are. I back and forth on dairy and nuts. This is where I need to continue to read as well as listen to my…

I hope everyone is doing great!

Impressive. You look great!

Way to go!

This is definitely a good place for support. My starting weight was similar. You can add me if you'd like. -Katy

Thanks for your feedback. It is just a matter of getting that info from my brain to my heart.

i don't have much of a sweet tooth... but when I get the craving, I have a piece (or 3) of orbitz sweet mint gum... It makes me happy.

Glad you decided to share the journey. I find the tracking really helps me. Even when you slip... track it. No shame in slipping, it is the lack of honesty with yourself that will bring you down. I am 3 weeks in, with about 100 lbs to lose. What is working for me is TRACKING the calories!!! Drink lots of water!! And…

bust definitely first for me. notice the belly a bit - but there is more than enough of that.

We have middle eastern food once a week. Chicken or lamb kabobs are my favorite. I skip the rice and bread and just eat the grilled veg side.

Done with what I could do... Only made it to 60 . I think I obercommitted. But now I am determined to work up to it.. May have to complete over 3 days.

I'm in... fist mini-challenge.

I also like their freezer section to keep a few frozen meals on hand for those lazy or running late days. They have some great healty options!

I am working the low carb plan also. I find carbs are my weakness and lead to a slippery slope for me with healthy eating. So off the carbs and on with a healthier lifestyle (including the goal to loose a significant amount of weight). Feel free to add me, I am happy to support you and could use the support as well.

I like this idea. I guess I would base the decision to buy the dress on how affordable it is to you. An awesome dress can be great motiviation. I think I may stop by Salvation Army and pick me up some mini goal pants. (although I can probably find a pair in my closet... it would be more fun to have a new to me pair as a…

I had not though about it. I think a tatoo is a great idea. A new swim suit (not from Sears) and a kick *kitten* pair of jeans.

I also am starting off (again) today. Good job going for a walk this morning. I wasn't that ambitious. I have been thinking about how I am going to get my exercise in. I need to come up with a plan - so I can stick with it. Good luck. -Katy
