Hi all, I'm Katherine. I've been at this since the middle of May last year and have lost over 56 pounds so far. I still have 14 - 50 pounds left to go. Per my doctor, 200-210 would be an ideal range for me. However, a 'healthy' BMI would put me at 174.

I haven't been my current weight, 224, since the start of junior high and am currently wearing 10-12 pants and L shirts.

My goal is to lose at least 5 pounds this month, although a business trip next week will make that challenging- it took me two weeks to get back on track after a recent vacation.

Hello everyone! I know I'm a little late to this discussion, but my name is Lexi and I will be 21 on the 18th. I'm just under 5'6 and as of yesterday I weigh 150.4 lbs. I'm an Athletic Training major (no, not personal trainer) that's in her third year.

In high school I was very athletic and played softball. When my Pop Pop got sick my Senior year I started to gain some weight. Then after he passed I really began to weigh. Thankfully I still played softball so it wasn't super drastic until the summer. That Fall I went off to college. The combination of bad food and lack of exercise lead me to gain even more weight. Between my sophomore year of high school and last semester I gained a total of 30-35 lbs.

Between the way the athletes I work with view me and the loss of self confidence I decided it was time to do something about it.

I joined MFP in February and so far I've lost 17 lbs! I try to be careful with my portion sizes now. I'm currently doing Kayla Itsines BBG as well as supplemental lifting and cardio. I typically exercise 6 days of the week.

This month I would like to lose 10 pounds total. I've already lost 2 which puts it down to 8! It was great reading everyone's posts and I hope we can keep each other motivated!
