    SusanSJD, I recently injured my knees and gained at least 25 pounds on top of the 30 I had gained having other health issues! I have been rehabbing my knees since about March. Injury occurred last December. That along with a few other pretty big injuries has definitely changed how I do things! Lol! Yes, I was over active and stubborn when I was a bit younger! Lol! I am currently able to do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred daily ( on day 10!!!!! ) as long as I modify!!! It has been a long uphill climb. Back in December I had to ride around the store in in one of those little electric go carts and it drive me bonkers! I couldn't walk or take kids to school , nada! Grateful that our bodies are so amazing! Being still feels un- natural to me. I believe our whole physical structure was made for movement. I am in awe of what the human body can do! We can do this my friend! Yes, we absolutely can! The way I see it, I've recovered from much worse injuries and no one ( including the doctors) can tell me I can't :) One step at a time. One day at a time. Be kind to you. It takes time. Glad you are here!

    I'm 29. I've been on my weight loss journey since February of 2012. Although I have lost a lot of weight I never reached my goal weight. Since winter I have slowly packed on more pounds. A lot of it had to do w/ the season, holidays and the unexpected death of my mother. I recently got married in March 2013 & since then I've gained 8 more pounds =( Our wedding reception is this August and I would really like to be at my goal weight by then. I am determined to look amazing in my dress this time instead of just ok.

    I find this process to be easier w/ the motivation of others pushing me along! So please add me as a friend!! =)

    Hi. My name is Elise. I am 25 years old. I have been trying to lose ten pounds for about two months (to look better in a swimsuit) and the scale has actually tipped in the wrong direction. Now I have to lose fifteen pounds. So, I thought it would be helpful to find a group of people to talk to about my struggles with. Hopefully this helps.

    In response to SusanSJD - not nursing an injury but I will be turning 47 this year and have definitely had to cut back on my activity level due to joint pain : ( I heard someone recently describe their aches as cumulative and I feel like that describes me - I used to do a lot of running and high impact everything and have to do low impact everything right now...makes it much harder to burn those calories : (

    suggestion to the group - wondering if we could start a different topic each day for our daily check-in - just to make it easier to read through everyone's comments...I'm thinking maybe first person to check in for the day starts a new thread with the date on it??

    Hi Guys,

    I'm Yazmin from Malaysia, just started MFP religiously 20 days ago. Was esthetic when I slowly lost 2 lbs but my weight has been fluctuating and now I'm getting a little discouraged. So here I am, hoping we can all motivate each other to burn off those fat! Now I need to lose around 30lbs...doctor's orders and who am I kidding I WANT THIS TOO. Want to feel good and thankfully, the past 20 days of keeping active has made me feel very guilty whenever I skip those sweat drenching days.
    So lets start some sort of weekly challenge to push each other and commit ourselves to burn some calories together! What say you?

    Hi everyone,

    I'm Jenni, and I joined because I'm 5'2" as well :D

    Hoping to lose around 50lb total, lost 6lb so far.

    Anyone else jealous of all those tall people who can eat more calories, or is that just me?!

    Hi, I am 4'11 (very short) and as of today I am 160 lbs. I had a baby last august and weighed 184, before I was pregnant I weighed 128 lbs and I have not been able to loose much weight at all. I need help loosing weight and thought this group would be a great way to share ideas and meet new people.

    That is almost identical to my story! I lost almost 30 pounds about 3 years ago and maintained it for almost 2 years. My last year of grad school kicked my butt and I gained almost all of back! I'm now getting back into the game with the goal of losing 50 pounds.
