I find it hard to be frank of where I am at also. In the past if I gained weight I didn't list it thinking I'll wait till I lose it. But I didn't lose it.

Don't be overwhelmed with the journey. Just do it one day at a time!

Mizviz--BEST ADVICE I can give you is read CrystalJo74's Journals. From Day 1. This will give you a great start, and also real HOPE! I know because I read all Crystal's journal entries and realized I can do this and I have. Hope this helps you, too :-)

It is definitely 1 day at a time. On November 5, 2018, I started my journey at 300 pounds. Over the next 2 years I lost 129 pounds, and weighed 171. My wife told me I was "too skinny" and needed to gain a few pounds. I did and try to float around 190, though I am a few pounds heavier right now due to the holiday season's good food and also recovering from a knee injury in September 2022. You can do it, and set some mini-goals for yourself,...5 pounds, 10 pounds, or whatever achievable goal in a reasonable period of time. Go for it !!

Slow and steady wins the race! Find a way of eating that gives you results and plan, prep and log your food. Do some kind of exercise, walking is great but whatever gets you moving....you can do this!👍👍
