I'm starting this approach as well. I've been reading posts from this amazing MFP member named
"http://www.myfitnesspal.com/user/ShannonMpls/profile/ShannonMpls?target=&redirected=true" (sorry, tried to use html code here to do link but didn't work) She started at 300+ and decided to lose weight in increments to avoid many of the traps associated with the daunting prospect of trying to achieve significant weight loss. This will be the third or fourth time I've lost the same 30-40 lbs (now accompanied by postpartum weight) and I'm starting to think that setting out to lose 50+ pounds right off the bat isn't working for me so I'm going to try this incremental approach and see how I do because I don't want to be in this position ever again. I started at around 210 (my heaviest ever) and went down to 200 pretty quickly just from my body readjusting to post-pregnancy but now the real work is ahead of me. I'm 5'6 and apple shaped so I'd like to end up around 145lbs but the number will mean less than my measurements and general physical fitness so I'm starting with a goal of 190. I would really love to be a part of a supportive community so please add me:)0 -
Hi everyone! I am from Montreal and I need to lose 80pounds, in the past I have achieved to lose 100 pounds but I regain most of it in the past years. Feel free to add me if you want more friends!1

Hi all! I definitely need all the accountability I can get. Wanting to lose 73lbs has REALLY snuck up on me. Three years ago, I wanted to lose 20lbs. Sigh. This is my third try in about two years total with MFP, and I'm pretty certain my failures are all because tracking without any sort of support is discouraging. So if you don't mind random musings in your feed, feel free to add me!

Yo-yo all my life... Need to stop the cycle once and for all. 70 lbs to loose once and for all!0

I'm also 5'8, started at a similar weight and have a similar goal weight. I'm about half way through - at the tough bit where weight loss slows down!0

I'm brand new to MFP and am 5'7" and starting at 210 pounds (the heaviest weight of my life). I would love to get back down to around 155-160 pounds! Being a part of a community of like-minded people with similar goals would be really awesome 0

Hey pals! I've got a bit more than 50lbs to lose, but could use the motivation and support! starting at 180 and I'm 5'2" -- my goal weight is (eventually) 115! Feel free to add me!! 0

Hi everyone! Trying out this app again and for one week, it's going well! I've synced it to my Fitbit and I'm on a roll! Knowing myself, I will fall off this wagon in a few short weeks so if anyone wants to help keep me accountable lol, feel free to add me and we can partner up! I'm 5'3" 233lbs with goal weight of 130. Seems impossible but baby steps I guess! I would like to get under 200 lbs as my first goal. I'm a full time single mom to a 4 year old and have a full time career. Need to stay motivated!! Who's with me!!?1

Hello MFP land, I am very new to this and would love some online support! I am currently 201 @ 5ft4 but I dream of being 150 (I have not been that since elementary school). I have been using the MFP app and MapMyWalk to track my slow progress on an old beat up treadmill. I have been having serious anxiety issues in the last year and that has made getting out and finding support difficult. Feel free to add me as I am on a few times a day!0

I'd love more, active friends on here. I'm losing in increments too. It's hard to face the large number. Feel free to add me.0

My name is Roxanna. I'm 5'4" & currently 205, wanting to get down to 125. So I have a ways but I'm looking to focus on increments! Stay at home mom to a 8 year old and 6 month old. Looking for friends to make MFP more interesting and help keep me accountable!0

Feel free to add me! I'm 5'8" and currently 222. 309 was my highest weight and I've been slowly losing over the last 2 years. Exercising for a few months, stopping for a few months -- you know how it goes! I'm finally more focused and want to shed the last lbs once and for all. Just started again for April, and currently I lift heavy 3 days a week (with a small amount of cardio before and after) and C25K on the alternate days with core work. I'd like to get down to 175, but for right now I'm focused on getting under 200. So after that, we'll see what's in store.0

I am 5'0", my heaviest was 215 and I am down to 185 so far. My goal is about 150, but once I get close I will probably adjust that goal based on where my body fat is.
A few years ago I lost 60+ and was down to 135, but unfortunately I didn't spend any time to learn about maintenance and gained it all back very quickly. Since then I have built quite a bit of muscle, so I'm not really sure what weight will be a good fit for me. I'm really looking forward to getting there and seeing my body change along the way!0 -
Hello. I'm new here too with 50lbs to lose. Always struggle with motivating myself so thought I'd give the community thing a go. I've never done the online forum chatting thing before, feels a bit strange

Well you just answered my question too! I'm, ahem, older, need to lose 50, lost 10 so far. When you add people does that make it so each other's posts show up? Do you need to make a group? My reason for losing weight, I just want to stay alive longer and stop hurting so much. 5'9" 206 today. Wanting Onderland again.
Peace.0 -
Is it ok to add you in this group as a friend? I don't want to presume. I did just add Mountainponies to test it out.
Thanks, Debbie0 -
Hi! Currently at 200, looking to get under 150 then go from there. I'm trying to increase veggies and cut back on junk food so any suggestions for that is always welcome. Also looking for more people to share this journey with, the more the merrier!0
