Hello! My name is Tara and I am aiming to lose about 15 lbs, which I have put on over the past 1-2 years. Have been using MFP off an on for the past year without much commitment or success, so I am hoping this thread will keep me motivated and accountable. I am from Tennessee. Weigh in days will be Friday for me!2

Hi guys! I'm Michelle. I'd been maintaining for about 6 months, but have recently bounced about 5-10 lbs above my comfy maintenance range, so I'm back to weight loss mode now. I like the group weekly weigh ins, helps with accountability and sense of community

I'm new! My name is Britt, and I am looking to get to 125 and maintain in a range of 125-129. My highest weight ever was 179+ (I know I weighed more than 179 at some point but I didn't want to see the 180s), and the last time I weighed was on August 1 at 153.4. I am hoping this month has put me in the 140s, but I have been focusing mainly on building fitness habits this month. Next month will be a focus on weight loss, and I would love to have the group accountability here 4

Hi! My name is Jo. I gained about 30 lbs in the last year and a half. "Happy fat" as my mom calls it. Too many date nights eating out. Seeing the scale at 158 when I've always been in the 125-130 range blew me away. I've lost 10lbs since the beginning of August and I Will lose 15 more. On a 5'2" frame it was more than a little weight.2

Hello!
I'm Kim and I'm an all or nothing kind of person. It's awesome when I'm on it but sucks when I'm off. I totally went hard eating over the last year and a half and gained like 50 lbs. I felt super fit and sexy at 153 and I'm determined to get back at it. As of today I'm at 198.2lbs.
Thanks for creating this group for accountability.

Hi!!! Have not been on FP for a few weeks. My son got married and I planned on taking s break. Had pumpkin ice cream last night before starting back - just so it wasn't calling my name all week. So ready to get back to a routine of eating and exercise. There's some damage but I won't know how much until I weigh in Friday. Surprisingly - I am so happy to be writing this message and getting reconnected. Good Luck this week everyone!!! We can do this!!!!1

Hi my name is Leigh, I am new to MFP and to getting healthy! Hoping to see some results from this as I would love to feel good about myself again. My start weight is 185, however it may not be accurate as I weighed myself later at night and with jeans on. We will see when I weigh myself tomorrow morning. My goal weight is 150 for now (before baby weight) though I may go even lower.1

I have been here for about 2 months but just starting this weight check in. Lost a little more than normal with a stomach virus the last two days. Finally feeling better and eat. Today I am not counting my calories just recording what I have eaten, after two days of not keeping food down. I decide I could eat what I wanted to today. (So far spirit and crackers for the most part) It my 4 year anniversary and my Husband has what I have. Looks like take out from Panera for our dinner tonight. Soup sounds good to me. My birthday is in 3 weeks and I am hoping to hit the 20 pound mark, I am at 18 loss this morning.1

Hi everyone. I’m looking to lose just over a stone and I would love to give and receive some support. I currently am a member of Slimming World. I’ve just been diagnosed with prediabetic and I’m eating low-carb meals. I’m still trying to work out if the two are compatible! Good luck to everyone.1
