Are you looking to lose about 50lbs?

I started out needing to lose 60lb -  I am now at least 10lbs off so am looking for weight loss buddies with around 50lbs to lose.

The journey is so much easier with someone taking it with you :)

Hi Sweetpeaches,

It is a lifetime of changing thoughts and actions once you have a weight problem you can never go back to old eating habbits and confortable patterns without seeing a quick and steep weight gain.

This last week has been rough for me and I found myslef binge eating onc akes, chocolate, ice cream, fried foods and soda.... I am ashamed and dissapointed with myself and saw a 2.8lb weight gain this weigh in.....today is a new day and I am back on track.

I am a single parent and so do this journey alone other than virtual support from friends here and on facebook. It is hard.

I set myself a goal on 2nd April to lose 50lb in 200 days  -  I started off wel but this week has dealt me a reality blow.....

Together we can help eachother and win this battle :) x

I have 60 lbs. that I want to lose. This has been such a journey for me. In 2008, I lost 80lbs, then gained back ten, I stayed there until last Oct. 20011. We went on a vacation for a month in Florida, before my upcoming surgery, knee replacement, I think at that time I was nervous eating. While in Florida I contracted Mesa on my soon to be new knee, go figure. I actually thought I got bit by a spider, that was on Thursday, we left for home on Saturday and i was at the Dr.'s on Monday. He never let me know how dangerous mersa was, it was my surgeon that said NO SURGERYuntil it's healed, this is very dangerous and contagious, ugh. That went on for six weeks, finally it was gone, surgery back on. At this point I had gained 6 lbs. Surgery was January 11th :-) , but since then I gained another14 lbs.. What makes me mad, I was so close to goal, but i got so comfortable with where I was at and second of all, during these past four months of recooperating, I knew not to eat the junk, that i would put on weight, my answer to myself then was, I can lose it, what an idiot. So here I go again, started my eating right habbits yesterday, I know I can do this, I've been trying to stick with it for a month now, morning I would start out great but by the evening, I say I'll start again tomorrow, well finally yesterday was my tomorrow, I made it through the day eating right and drinking my water:-) Now I just have to stay strong, my husband will not diet with me, he thinks he can do it by skipping meals, eating big breakfasts, 3 eggs, 3 pieces of toast, 4 bacon, snacks, cookies, ice cream bars, you get the idea. He weighes 268, he said to me yesterday, gosh if I could only lose 50 lbs. But as much as I would like him to join me on this journey, I have to do this on my own:-( So here I am with hopefully new friends to take this journey with :-)
