Please

I'm in. I need to lose the 20lbs i put on this year.

I need a back on track buddy! Been almost six years! Had some health issues. Need encouragement to a healthier way of eating! Not feeling restrictions as much. Please help! Need at least 40 pounds off!

Precious17. I could use a buddy too. I'm 1 1/2 yr out from a RNY surgery. I had an accident at about 10 months post op and I had to stop all exercise. I wasn't eating the same because I wasn't cooking for myself. Then I got depressed and started making poor choices. So instead of continuing my weight loss I gained 20 lbs. so then I needed to loose 40 pounds to reach goal.

Three weeks ago I finally got control of my food and I've done great loosing 8 pounds. I'm proud of myself but I am having problems with snacking when I'm not hungry and very little exercise. I'd love to support you and I need support around snacking and getting back to an exercise program if you'd like.

Rosymsp. How did you get control of your food? I am an emotional eater. Congrats on the 8 lb lost! That's great!! [emoji1373] just like any other addiction need support, I feel it's just as important to have support on this weight loss/maintenance journey. It is a struggle everyday to make the right choices. Let's set a goal & beat this thing!! I won't give up! I may fall, but I will get back up... Remember to get that water in. I drink at least three bottles a day. [emoji1431][emoji1431]

I managed to get back on tract because I refused to buy new clothes so I was really uncomfortable wearing summer clothes that were 20lbs too small. I made up my mind I had to do it because I worked too hard to mess it up now and besides, I couldn't breathe in those tight shorts. I planned out back to basics low carb meals for the first 2weeks and got rid of stuff I couldn't eat. Writing down what I ate helps too. I'm doing well so far, because I'm having success and it feels good

I need motivation to get back to exercise though. I still haven't made it to the gym though. I wish I could motivate myself to get there.

Do you have a treadmill?

Yes. Should use it but I should.

Hey there, sounds like we're in the same boat. I too, am 52. I'm 13+ years out and have all of a sudden, due to stress and lack motivation, regained 24 lbs. I as well. In need of a good support person/persons.
