I am new to the board and need all the support I can get. I recently entered the biggest loser competition at our local YMCA and have no choice but to stay motivated. I meet with a personal trainer 3 times a week and am trying to make myself go 2 a day as well. I am only in the first week of 8 and can tell I am already getting tired. I have over 100 lbs to lose and often look at that and convince myself that it is impossible. So anyone who wants to be buddies I would love the support.

Thanks
Shelley

I will buddy up with you! I too am starting on the weight loss journey, and need all the motivation that I can get. I need to lose 50 pounds. I started on my weight loss journey last summer, and I lost 25 pounds but over the winter I have gained it all back. We will help each other reach our weight loss goals!

Welcome girls! I am 25 and a mother of 5. I need to lose about 80 lbs..but instead of thinking of it that way (because it seems so out of reach) I am thinking about it 10-15 lbs goals at a time. I excercise every day (30-45 min sometimes more) and I watch what I eat and drink lots of water...dont really do the diet thing..because if I want something I eat it..I just work out harder that day....

Have a great day and welcome..I will be buddies with anyone who wants me to..

First time trying online support. I need to lose a lot of weight and have a hard time staying motivated. Easter was tough with all the chocolate around. I walk my two beagles every day but need more intense exercise. I know what I have to do but if something good is around I have a hard time saying no. However, I am also tired of telling myself I'd lose weight for the last 10 years. I am aiming for 50 then 50 after that. I'd like to be in touch with someone daily if possible - nights are my worst.

I would like to email someone regularly to inspire me and stay on track and I do the same for them. I am not finding this site easy to find what I lost did and how to get a response.

Hi finallyfit... I think with a bit of practice you will learn to navigate the site! You can set it up so you get emails with links to the threads you are posting in.

Hope you do well on your weight loss journey!!
