Need support and motivation

I need support to help me through my weight loss. I cannot do it alone. I lost my support group from my church in August and that really put a damper on things. I was injured four months previous to January but have recovered--thankfully. So, I'm ready for a new year of transformation, success and dedication. If anyone wants to be my friend in weight loss, I'd love to hear from you!

I'm trying to lose too Suzi44. My goal is about 20 pounds and to get in shape. You can do this. I've been puttting it off so I finally joined a gym so since I now have a two year contract and I'm paying for it I'm really trying to make sure I stick to my goal of at least working out 3 days a week. It's a start.

CW2008--Hi, thanks for the encouragement. I need to lose 50 lbs. Good for you for setting a goal of 3 times a week. I was at 3X but I'm going for 4X. Do you want to be my friend? If so, send me a friend request and I'll friend you.

Have a great day!

I accept I'm tall (5'10) & my family is naturally 'big boned' but idealy I want to loose 2 stone.... its alot, & I've dieted and lost 1 stone before & found it tough. Luckily I have DS! When I did it last time I did a week of tough 'healthy eating'- fruit or a smoothie for breakfast, salad for lunch, and a salad or something light for tea. I drank water, squash & tea and had fruit as snacks. GOing to the gym whilst doing this really kick starts the diet, I lost loads in the first week!
After week 1 then VERY GRADUALLY put back in carbohydrates & stuff, but gradually because if you suddenly eat a load of junk then you'll put it on again. Keep regularly going to the gym, but also outdoor exercize in the fresh air is great. So in the following weeks a meal could be fruit/smoothie for breakfast, soup for lunch & a healthy but nuitrious tea- for example you could have pasta or something :)

Suzi,

I am right here with you. I have had 4 kids and after the last child, I have had problems with losing the weight. I need help nd motivation to lose 30 pounds. So far I have lost 3 and that is big for me. I am ready for a change this year and hope to have lost the weight by the summer. We can help each other in this transformation.
