    Oh forgot to say also be wary of the calorie burns from MFP/Machine Readouts they can be completely overestimated, so whilst MFP intends you to eat back your exercise calories and you should theoretically eat them, be conservative to start with and try eating just 50% back monitor your weight loss progress for 4-6 weeks and adjust as necessary.

    Like all of you guys in this thread, I also need to lose 50 lbs to get to a healthy weight. I am 5ft tall, 185 lbs and currently at my highest weight ever. I've been struggling with swollen ankles and feet now. I'm just so sick of being overweight and not knowing how to control it. My problem areas are portion control and just loving food too much in general. I'm hoping I can join your group so we can ban together and fight our battle together.

    My goal is to lose 100 lbs., but am setting my goal at 50 lbs. so that It won't seem too impossible. I was down 11 lbs., but after taking a week's vacation, I have put 2 more on, which isn't bad, considering I ate out most the time.
    Perhaps we should start a 50s group?

    I would love to lose 50 pounds. I just started working out again for the umpteenth time. I'm on my 3rd week of getting back to a healthier lifestyle. I could use some friends on here. Please add me too if you'd like

    My goal is 75 and I've already lost 25, so just about 50 to go. The biggest thing I can say is that you can't have an "all or nothing" mentality. If you mess up, don't just quit. Get back on it the next day. Last weekend I went out, drank a good bit, had pizza, and clocked in double my calories. It took me three days of HARD work to lose the bloat/weight and get back to where I was on Friday. Don't give up and set a goal date. Some weeks you'll lose more, so weeks you'll gain, but if you're on track at the end of every timeline milestone, then you're good!

    I need to lose 50, but doing incremental goals so right now I'm shooting for 10. My biggest struggle is giving up after a couple weeks. So I'm just trying to stay committed and trying to not overwhelm or deprive myself. Thinking long term. Still trying to figure out how my margaritas are going to fit into all this.
