I see that a lot of you have done really well in losing weight. I need to have your support in my own battle to lose more 18 lbs. I usually lose 10 to 11 lbs and then I get back to old habits and gain it back...Well, this time I want it to be different and lose all the weight I need to lose.

Can I please get your support and encouragement to do this? I need to lose about 2 lbs per week and I need to journal to you guys about my struggle and need your feedback since you have all experienced this.

I WANT TO LOSE 18 LBS BY LABOR DAY WEEKEND.

Just need your reply that you will support me in this and hopefully we can help other people that are struggling too...WE CAN ALL CHALLENGE ONE ANOTHER

so, this is the first message i have read on this website and by the way it looks i think many have passed you by due to the "18" lbs. you are looking to loose...i read this and moved on but then i rethought my action and knew that you probably really need someone to cheer you on...although my goal is much more and will have to take much longer, i have the time to be here for you...good luck and i will watch for you...terilu

Thank you so much for responding..Even though it is only 18 lbs. it is still the same struggle with food and obsession...Its the depressing ups and down and the paying for the different diet programs and coming up to the same again. I really messed up this week as I went to several different social events and of course...food was available and I ate it...Although today according to the FitDay..I only consumed 1300 calories...I still saw a weight gain of about 3 - 4 lbs. I have to go in and weigh in tomorrow morning at the diet center and explained why I could not stay on the diet. I am literaly throwing money away as I cannot keep a commitment.

Thanks for your support.
