    I'm tired of being overweight. I need to lose weight and to exercise. I want to get off my medications, fit in smaller clothes, walk without being out of breath. Tracking will keep me accountable. I'm also drinking more work but that's ok cause I love it!

    I have 50+ to lose and am finding the only thing working for me is mostly whole foods, drinking half my weight to a gallon in water, and being sure my fiber count is right at 27-30 grams per day on top of the 1200 calories MFP suggests. I started about 9 months ago and did lost 29 lbs before getting off track for 3 months and putting on 11. Back to trying to get that 50 off now! You can do it! First 2 weeks are the hardest and then things get better!!

    A year ago I weighed 100 lbs more than today. All it took was a lot of work. The first month I ate normally, but radically increased my exercise. Since I am 60 years old I feared injury, so I walked, no running. (Running would have required a rest day for each running day.) Since my aerobic capacity sucked, I kept the speed and incline down on my treadmill. Good thing b/c the lower level of exertion netted more fat burning. After six weeks I was up to 150 mins per day. To do this I had to start getting up at 5:45 am and getting to bed before 10:00 pm. This reduced opportunities to snack. The first month I lost 17 pounds and started to think I could lose more. About March I decided to lose 60 by my 60th birthday. I missed that goal by two weeks. Then I decided to go for an even 100 pounds. At each stage in the process my tactics had to change. First get active. Then limit intake. Then focus on avoiding carbs while getting enough protein to maintain lean body mass. None of it was rocket science, but it did require focus and awareness of what my body did in response to changing activity and eating.

    Same here -my goal is to lose 57lbs. Sounds scary, impossible and just discouraging all at the same time. And when you're in it and trying to make the right choices -it's constantly on your mind. Stress just goes up, which can make it harder. I'm glad I found this app -it really helps with motivation and a fun way to keep track. Good luck on your journey!

    I'm looking to lose 50 as well. That would put me around 155. I was 140 when I got pregnant with my son nearly 10 years ago. I never lost that weight. I had another baby in March 2015. I started that pregnancy at 196, I had her at 206. After my daughter I gained 15lbs!! My cholesterol is high, blood pressure is high and my knees are giving out under this weight. I'm also looking for others to share this journey with! Feel free to add me, I'll add you back and together we can bring our sexy back!

    Where to begin. After 40+ years of being the fat person, I had finally started loosing weight. Using WW had had dropped from 316 to almost 200. Then in 2013 my husband had surgery and was in the hospital for 3 months. My exercise routine (not to mention any kind of good foods) went out the window. Even though he came home in 3 months, it was 8 before I was able to go back to the gym. I am back at the gym but not before the damage was done. Both physically and mentally. Feeling very much a looser. The whole time I was loosing the weight I don't think i really changed my "thinking". That has made this all the harder to start again. Making first goal of the year to be getting a full hour of exercise at the gym.
