hello.
 

my name is stef, and i am joining this group because i want to lose weight, and am having trouble doing so. i thought joining a group might help any suggestions you have would be helpfull.

Welcome! Good luck with your weight loss efforts!! You can do it!!

Hi Stef! I can totally relate...I have been struggling so badly. Currently started my diet almost three weeks and haven't lost anything. Of course this time of year is the worse. Hang in there and we can do this together ;)

Hi and welcome! I wonder what would happen if you just took the holiday in stride. Be mindful of how much of everything you eat (not obsessive, just mindful) and make sure you go for a walk/jog early in the day and later after the festivities.
Then KNOW that Friday is going to be the beginning of a realy awesome new phase of your life.
