Welcome, Lyn! We are all in the same boat and are here to support each other. It is hard but with a good plan and persistence, we know we will all get where we want to be!
I try to check in daily and I think a few other do, too. Let us know how you are doing. Are you following a food plan? Do you have an exercise program you are doing?

Hi Lyn and welcome! I am like you 5'3 and need to lose about 100 lbs. I am like you miserable. I have lost some weight but then have gained it back. I won't give up. No, not everyone understands. Here we do and we are here to support you too.

Welcome Lyn:
It is difficult to find the plan that works for us. I keep trying different things. I have trouble sticking to anything and then it gets boring. Anyway, I hope you find what works for you and post your journey whenever you like. Getting healthy is a lifetime process, but so worth it.

Hello and welcome!! :)

You are not alone..Am almost 50 y/o and struggling and pain. Stay strong..post often. Looking forward to seeing your progress. You can do it!!

Thanks Everyone so much!!!!! It is so nice to have people who truly understand. I am not on any set plan but started today tracking calories. That is what my daughter did. She lost 40 pounds and is now at about 100 pounds!!! So basically I have to lose her weight!! (literally) ha ha!! The tracking is hard to get used to but she swears by it! I did go to the gym today with her and did the treadmill for 30 minutes. I also have a fitbit so I try to get as many steps in per day as I can. My goal is only 8000 steps but I rarely make it unless I go to the gym. I have a desk job so it makes it tough. I will keep you all posted!!! And will be here to support you all too!!!
