in Motivation and Support
Hi everyone - I really need motivation. I have tried to lose weight for about a year and half now and I always lose a few lbs then give up. Tried WWers online, attempted low carbing but I can't stick to anything :( This is a new MFP account for a new and fresh, positive start!
I'm a female, 5'10 with about 40lbs to shift. I find having people with a similar height and stats on my friends so helpful, so please feel free to add! :)

    Add me as a friend!

    I'm 5'10.5 and I've lost 93 pounds (currently on a very low carb diet and loving it!)

    I, too, have encountered many setbacks along the way. I've tried and failed at losing weight for most of my life. MyFitnessPal and low carb (and consistency) seem to be my golden tickets.

    High weight: 280 pounds, Low weight: 187 pounds, Goal weight: 150/160 pounds

    Feel free to add me, too. I'm 5'10" and I've currently lost 98lbs. I haven't had any setbacks if only because the last 10 years were a setback and my determination is strong this time. I was around 350 (not sure exact weight I just know it was over 340 because I could no longer use the wii Fitboard) when I had a complete breakdown and figured I wasn't going to live much longer because my heart was going to just give out on me. I didn't even want to leave the house. However, I started on here, counting every single calorie and getting support and now it's just habit, I don't even have to use much willpower anymore.

    Starting weight (when I started logging) 345lbs, Lost so far 98lbs, goal weight 175

    5 ft 9 here. I weighed 256 on October first and am down to 234 now. Every time I have a kid, I gain 50 lbs! I'm done with that, though and ready to loose all of it! Goal weight- 170. I like short-term goals so I'm shooting for 225 by Christmas.

    5'11" here, and all legs! I need a 34" inseam. The problem, jeans made in plus size, seem to be for petite women. Like, if you are fat, you must also be short!

    Yes, I do find pants eventually....would love to just go in a store, and get a pair of jeans....I wear a size 16w.

    5'11 here. A tad older than yourself though at 36. I'd like to get back into my size 8s. Which I'm assuming is a weight goal of about 157ish. This time last year I was around 150. Today I weighed in at 165. I'm typically the only one that notices when I "pork up" (which is a benefit of being tall).

    In 2011 I was 193. In the summer of 2013 I got to 143 and a size 4. My boyfriend told me I really needed to consider gaining a bit back, I took it very literally...LOL

    It's very possible if you stick to the plan, log everyday, move a little more and eat what calories the program gives you that you will be at goal in no time.

    As you can tell I Yo Yo. I got cocky after losing all that weight and gave myself a pass. Hello 20lbs in a year. Now my goal is to get to and stay around 155-157.

    Good luck, hon. We are all here to support you!

    6'0" here too! I grew up as a bit of a chub, but then played sports through high school and college. I gained weight after stopping sports freshman year, and I've graduated now. I'd really love to join this feed and stay motivated to lose and then maintain weight- Your stories are awesome and thank you for posting them!

    5'9" here. I've always hovered around 160-170 lbs throughout my adult life, but wanna lean the eff out and look sexy. Current weight is around 167, goal weight is 145. I'm working out 4x a week for at least a month now and the scale has hardly moved, but I'm feeling stronger! I like that feeling. It's slow but we'll get there!

    Hi! I'm 5'9 and currently would like to lose another 30 lbs after having gained 20 lbs back. My lowest weight was 162 lbs and currently am at 179 lbs. I'm striving for a balance between clean eating (with reduced sugar, using stevia and low- carb) and a cardio/weight lifting routine. Feel free to add!

    5'10" and 53lbs to lose. I've blamed chronic illness and surgery on my weight gain for the past few years but I've finally admitted that it's giving up exercise and bad food and drink choices that have got me here. Add me as I need some motivation and support too. I'm really determined though and the penny has finally dropped that I can't have thought much of myself to want to do what I've done to my health and body xx
