Hey girl!! I don't know how to add friends. When I try it takes me to a sign in page wanting my email/password. Problem is I have several email/password accounts and I don't know what I signed up with. Like an idiot I tried to change it on my profile not realizing I just deleted the very email address I needed. Anyway this is a long way around the world to say send me a friend request!!
I'm with you on loosing the weight as opposed to a sleeve. They have suggested I do the same but I'm against it because I know several people who have done it without much success. I got fat without a sleeve so I can get slimmer without one.
I haven't reached the down 10 or more pounds mark yet but I'm knocking on there door. Last week was my first week. I started out at 295 and today was my weigh in day. I'm 288. So excited to be out of the 290 range.
My goals this week are to work out Monday Wednesday Friday on the treadmill for thirty minutes and stay within my daily calorie allotment. Neither of which I managed to achieve last week.
I'm also doing a thirty day challenge.
What are your goals for this week/month?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Bonnie

I have 121 to lose. I too break it down to increments of 10s. Every 5 weeks my goal is 10. Lost about 40 a few years ago and gained it all back, so I'm starting again. Lost 4 so far. Feel free to send me a friend request. Support from people who understand your daily/weekly/monthly struggle is great. Good luck to all of you in your journey.4

I've lost 122 pounds in the last year without weight loss surgery. I started at 325 so I definitely would have qualified for surgery but decided it wasn't for me. I've found the best part about doing it the old fashioned way is when people assume you've had gastric bypass or some such surgery when they see how much you've lost and you can proudly say, nope, just diet, exercise, and sheer force of will!8 -
Hey girl,

i'm just getting started and i'm definitely inspired by so many of the success stories. i lost 30 lbs years ago, never put it back on but also, have never moved forward. i just now ate 37 pretzels and logged them - but it hit me tha there's more going on with all of this than just eating. and exercising. anyway, i'm hoping to make some motivating friends - would love to hear from you guys!1

I am a 68 year old female and loosing weight has gotten progressivly more difficult over the years. I have been trying to loose weight for a while now and have only managed to take off 30 lbs in a years time. It definitely gets frustrating.3

Hey all you fabulous ladies, I'm so inspired by you all and sending good vibes to each of you. I have 131 pounds to lose and just began yesterday.
I had lost 82 but gained back 66 of those this past year. I am 36 but struggle with weight gain from medication, emotional eating, and emergency surgical menopause. Which, btw, menopause is no joke ladies! Lol I am a portrait photographer and would love to have friends to support along our journeys! I'm new to discussions and challenges but I will learn. So if you are open to being friends with this determined and sometimes sassy redhead, feel free to send me a message! Get it, girls!!! We got this!!

It does get frustrating when you're eating right and the scale doesn't budge. Are you logging your food on MFP? I have recently discovered, as s result of logging, that I'm getting far too much sugar in my diet although I'm staying within my caloric range. Are you moving? If you have a smart phone you can track your daily steps with MFP too. They say you should log 10,000 steps a day!! I'm just trying to get to 5,000 right now. MFP is helping me immensely by holding me accountable. I've got a few MFP friends and we are checking in on each other. I hate to be the one who says they flopped that day so just knowing that someone may ask me what I've done for the day gets me motivated.0 -
I've lost just over 120 and losing 15-20 more. Feel free to add me.4

I want to lose around 130 lbs. and have plenty of health issues to deal with as well. Feel free to add me, as it looks like I do not have the ability to add myself...2

Hey! I'm late to the party and don't have anymore weight to lose (42 lbs gone in 1 yr), but I wanted to support you in that '10lbs at a time' thought.
There is some evidence that losing 10 or 15 lbs, then holding a bit (a month or so at maintenance), and repeating is a very effective way to ensure that the weight stays off long term.2 -
Well right now I'm losing 4-5 lbs a week so I hope it still keeps going. I just eat healthy and walk. I also have one day where I eat what I want and it's like a shock to my body because the scale drops drastically after I go back to my healthy plan. Sugar is definitely a no. I drink tons of water. Seriously take it one day at a time
Realistically it won't keep up at this rate. Aiming too high may result in feeling really discouraged if it doesn't keep up at this rate - losing 2 lbs/week is realistic over a longer term and will likely be accomplishable for a good part of your loss4 -
I have about 100lbs to lose happy for you to add me the more support the greater accountability!
I like the little steps mind goes back to weights at times in my life so far I've lost baby number 2 weight now I'm aiming for baby number ones weight then wedding day weight!
100lbs doesn't seem achievable as a whole!
We can do this please add me if u want to.3 -
Losing 100lbs is my goal. Taking it one day at a time making small changes. I'm determined to not live in this body anymore. Feel free to add!3

Wow! 122 is a lot of weight to have lost. If you can do it then I should be able to do it too. We will see where I end up this time next year. I'd love to be down to the 100's instead of the 200's range. You are definitely an inspiration.0 -
