Hi,
I'm Isabelle and I lost quite a bit of weight over the last year. What helped me the most was sharing everyday with a small group of people. As simple as that. (ok I moved my *** a lot too)
Anyway, that's why I wanted to start this group to have this opportunity again and to give the same chance to people who want to do it.
My goals:
-Workout at least 25 mins a day 5 days a week
-Guitar practice 3 times a week
-Report daily in this group
-Drop the last 15 pounds
So please say hello, I'm looking forward to know you and your goals and your story.

Hi. I only started this phase of my weight loss journey 9 days ago. This is my 3rd time having to lose the weight in just over 10 years. I am very serious about meeting my goals and I find having people to check in with is very helpful. Thank you for starting this group!
Regards,
Susan0 -

Hi VTorres and very welcome !
Glad to have you here it's a step in the right way.
I like that "Lose as much weight as I can (healthy way)" I saw in your profile that you divided the amount you want to lose in smaller milestones and thats the way to go !
It's a long journey ahead of you but the wonderful thing is that with some patience and dedication you CAN do it. My advice would be don't rush it and don't give up.
One thing I learned about weight loss is that: "it's long" once I wrap my head around that fact, it worked !0 -
Hi, I'm Kris.
I want to get back into my old active habits, I used to dance in high school and college and I ran I good bit pretty regularly. Now I wouldn't say I'm fat but I'm not fit either. So my goals are primarily to be more active. I've started running again, so I've set myself a goal to reach 10 miles this year and my husband and I have a few free weights at home so I've set one goal to actually use them at least twice a week and and another goal to get a six pack for this summer (or something close to it lol). My profile says I want to get down to 100lbs but I won't be disappointed if I don't reach that goal because I know (especially with running and strength training) I'll be gaining a bit of muscle on this journey, so weight really doesn't matter to me.
Also I guess I could add a little personal info about myself just to get it out there. My husband and I hunt, bow and rifle hunting for deer during the fall/winter, and turkey hunting in the spring. It's something we get to do together outside in nature and plus it puts good lean meat on the table (nothing processed or injected with hormones), we're the type that hunt for meat not for horns (the horns are just a bonus if you can get them to stand still long enough). I've only just recently started bow hunting and found that it is a great workout for my arms and surprisingly my stomach as well, even as a hobby. We usually don't start practicing with our bows until after turkey season ends so I'm hoping to get a head start this year by using those weights. Also, on the weekends, my husband and I try to be active by going hiking, biking, kayaking(in the spring and summer), or just out for walks in general with our dog (who has started to get a little pudgy as well). I don't have any kids (yet) but I do have three beautiful fluffy fat cats that sleep all day and bug the crap out of me at night lol. I have a wonderfully boring office job that I love (lol oxymoron I know). I only say that cause some days are so busy and I love it, and then other days it slows down to the point I'm sitting here trying to force the time to go by faster lol. Though I really do love my job, I'm still holding on to my dream of becoming an astronaut/ballerina/doctor (you never know, it could happen).
Well I've blabbed on long enough, so HEY! to everyone and I'm excited about joining this group

Hi Kris !
That is a nice introduction. I love it !
I like your goals and the fact that you stay active with your husband, this is a great support you already have.
I to am an outdoor girl. Never hunted but I must say bow hunting seems interesting. Lately, I'm stuck inside more than I can stand and I can't wait for the opportunities to get back out there. (I'm in the process of buying a piece of land)
Anyway, it's great to have you here. Hope to hear from you often.0 -
Hey Vicki !
You did it ounce you can do it again. 9 lbs in 3 weeks is just "wow" a lot !! Good job !
I'm happy to hear you've overcome food obsession and found solutions that works !
So this time you will lose it and not put it back on right ?
Best of luck and I,m happy to have you in the group !0 -
I forgot to mention, I am doing a half marathon with my husband on 26 april and my short term goal is to lose another 10lbs before then to help me run it better/easier! I have also been doing at least 3 miles a day running, cycling or walking, i have done this since 1st jan this year. I am a nana to 2 gorgeous granddaughters aged 4yrs and 6mths and i live in the UK.0

Hi; I'm Jennifer and I'm restarting my weight loss journey after having my son on November 5th. I managed to stay within 10 pounds of my previous weight but would like to much less than my previous weight. I want to lose this weight for myself, my husband, and kids so I can be a better mother/wife for them.
I like to work out but have a hard time fitting it in to my schedule so I've started working out on my lunch break. My personal goals are:
Get down to 130
Workout at least 4 times a week
drink more water
stay true to my goals, while still having fun!

Hi, I've just joined MFP a few days ago and am working to shed 25+ lbs. Last year was very stressful with several ill family members and I pretty much turned to baking as therapy. Now I'm working to get back to taking care of myself and getting my health/fitness back.
My goals include:
Daily tracking and reporting food intake on MFP
Daily planning for meals and workouts - with 1 free day per week
Lose 10lbs before March 25
Be able to button and wear my favorite jeans by March 1
Good luck to everyone!!
Dana

Welcome to both of you !
Rowan, you are right "maintaining" can be hard be also sometimes it can be easy if you truly change some habits.
Dana, these are nice and clear goals. I like it. 10 lbs by march 25 is quite a challenge!
It'sgreat you're back taking care of yourself, always a good thing.
Best of luck to both of you ! You are welcome to join in daily reports and share what you did everyday towards reaching your goals. I'll be happy to hear more from you.
Lets do this people !! Go go !0 -
Hi everyone! I'm new to this whole thing, but am hoping that by joining a group, it'll give me the accountability and support I need to regain good habits. About 2 years ago, I lost 35 pounds. Sadly, I've let it creep back and I need it to go away again. I'm nearing 50 and want it gone. My main goal, other than the obvious weight loss, are to workout 3 -4 times a week, train for a 5k, and eat better. I'd love to have the weight gone by April 17th, but 15 pounds by then will make me happy. Sounds like a lot, but hopefully, I can do it.0

Hi everybody!
I'm Marissa, and I've used MFP before to lose 40# and it rocked. However, that was right before nursing school (AKA the most stressful two years of my life, lol), and when I looked up I'd gained half of it back! I've been back on here for 9 days, but I've found what I miss most is the camaraderie from last time (there were several girls at my office that did MFP together).
Goals:
- Log ALL my food, every day (not just when I'm staying on my pre-planned meals).
- Lose 30# total, no real deadline just to get down to my goal weight.
- Lose at least 10# by this summer (would love to lose 20# but don't want to set too aggressive of a goal and then fail and get discouraged).
- Get a daily workout in (I used to walk my dog 2-3x per day, but can't anymore due to some issues on his end).
- Do better on the weekends (the BF and I tend to eat horribly on the weekends, because we're always either at one of our family's houses or running amok trying some new restaurant, and what's the point of going to that cute little Italian place for a salad?!?)0 -
Welcome to both of you !
It always makes me happy when I see new members ! Thanks for joining !
That's what I want this group to be about, support, accountability, camaraderie ! I know it truly helps!
Good luck with your goals and please join us in the daily reports to share daily !
