I need to loose 140lbs. 5 years ago fitness pal helped me loose 80lbs. It was the first time in my life that i had been able to loose weight with just following what i ate and learning what it was that was making me gain weight. I didn't have money for a gym membership but walked and tracked on MFP and it was just as good. During that time my husband and I had two young boys, and after those pregnancies a let myself go for about 4 years until i said that it was enough. This time around, i have gained all the weight back, mostly because we welcomed two babies (a son and a daughter) but the births are extacly a year apart from each other. The weight creeped up slowly because i realllllly enjoyed my pregnancies, we are in a totally different place financially and home stabled, but our family is now larger. It is a stressful time sometimes with 4 kids, i need to do something about this extra weight. I dont want to wait another 4 years and then it may be too late. Even though we are comfortably financially now, im currently a stay at home mom, because it makes more sense i suppose. Im active with the little ones and cleaning around the house but the minute i have time to sit down, thats when the bad eating habits happen, sometimes dont eat breakfast and by late afternoon i think i need to compensate for that, and dinner as well. I need to change. I have no excuse. My husband even got a treadmill for me to use on my "free time", but by then im either too tired or just rather spend it eating and watching tv. Smh. I hope i make some new friends who are going through the same, its not easy, its not going to be easy, and only us can make it happen. So good luck to all of you, and i hope that by next year we can all be near or closer to our goals.

I understand because I too need to lose 100 pounds - I gotta break it down 10 at a time or it's too overwhelming. Good luck on your journey of health transformation - add me for a dose of encouragement and accountability

Hi Everyone! Please add me to your group. I started on 1/4/16 for the second time. The first time I jointed MFP back in 2013 I lost 89 lbs in 8 months. But then my husband got sick and it has taken me 2 years to get my willpower back and get motivated. Needless to say......I gained every bit of that back. This is going to be my year!!! Determined to loss it and keep it off.

Hi all. I need to loose 40kg min in order to go for a hernia surgery I never knew there is forum on here so we will stay in touch. It is first time for me to try diet with counting calories

I have 100 lbs to lose, I lost 2 this week. I lost 20lbs last year without even tyring. I have no tyroid (due to thyroid cancer) and I have Hashimotos Autoimmune disease, Hypothyroidism. I attribute my weight loss last year to getting off Synthyroid (levothyroxine) and changing to NDT Natural Dessicated Thyroid Medication called Naturethroid. I gained 40lbs after my thyroid operation with in 3 months. If you thyroid hormones are not in balance it is very difficult to lose weight. If you are hypothyroid then you metabolism is slow which is why you are not losing weight no matter how hard you try! So focus on boosting your metabolism! Can't wait to see how much I lose this year now that I am trying harder. Eating Clean! Drinking Water! portion Control! Gluten Free!

Wow, it's so awesome to see so many people that have the same goals I do. I lost 30 lbs in Nov. but gained them all back in Dec., because of all the holiday baking. However, this is a new year, new beginning and anything is possible if you put your mind to it. My hubby bought me a fit-bit for Christmas and I've just synced it. Accountability and seeing what I'm eating and how it's impacting my life is a great motivator for me. So, cheers here's to meeting and exceeding our goals and cheering each other on! Please feel free to add me as a friend if you need some encouragement or a sympathetic ear. Oh! I almost forgot, I'm at 297 and my goal is 165. I figure for a medium boned frame that's a good target number but when I get there I might revise it.

I've struggled with weight my whole life. I had lost 50 lbs by beginning of last year. Had a really rough year and let the weight slowly cheap back on. My ultimate goal is to be down 150 lbs. I'm currently slightly over 300. Feel free to add me.

Need tose and keep weight off. I'm told Diet and exercise are both needed to drop weight so I got my Fit bit charge HR today and am hoping that will help motivate me. Got a diet plan in place and am ready to begin my Journey. One day, one hour, one minute at a time. lets see what awaits. Hope to meet others who could use a weight loss buddy. I'm ready to let go of my bigger shell in exchange for a smaller healthier one. All the best to YOU. Hugs

Been on here two weeks & lost 9lbs already this app is great to see just what calories you have had, more than happy to have more friends

I'm working on my 2nd, of 15-20, 10 pound goals. We'll see where healthy leads me. I'm optimistic with using MFP and having family support at home and my MFP friend along for the ride I can accomplish anything.
I have a Fitbit and love the motivation factor it provides. I recently had surgery and can't workout right now so it's helped me focus on eating properly, something I severely stink at, but I've doing good and am down about 20 pounds so far. I'm hoping the weight will fall off once I can workout again since I'm cleaning up my eating now. I can't fall back to old eating once I go back to the gym.

I'm always looking for friends who can help motivate me.
