in Getting Started
I'm tired of being fat. I gained 100 lbs during the past 6 years and it's time to lose those 100 lbs. I'm looking for anyone else in a similar situation. I'm 30 (turn 31 in December). 5'5", 233 lbs. Married. No kids. Two dogs, two cats. Live in San Antonio, TX. Work in HR. I've successfully counted my calories for 1 week now!

    I am here with you!!! I have over 100 pounds to get rid of! The 1st week is the hardest. I am trying to lose weight to have a baby as I do not have any kids either. I am 25 next month 26. I have gained 100 pounds over the last 8 years, and have been doing everything to lose weight!! I have lost 20 pounds over the last 3 months.

    Good luck to you! If you would like a friend, to motivate you, and help with losing weight questions, feel free to add me as a friend!

    I'll be 30 next month and have about 50lbs to lose. Congrats on completing your 1st week! I'm a couple days shy from mine, but it's been a HUGE help for me to track everything.. makes me more accountable for what I intake as well as gets me moving a lot more too. Feel free to add me if you'd like :)

    Hi there, I'm 34 and live in Australia - I've actually been to San Antonio however. :-) I'm married with 4 children, and I'm well into my weight loss journey. I've lost 90lbs so far, on the way to losing another 80 or so. I'm happy to support new friends and I do log in every day, but please read my profile first if you'd like to friend request me. I firmly believe in losing in a healthy way - that includes not starving myself, eating most foods in moderation and exercising. But I can tell you that it is definitely possible to lose the weight!

    Way to go on your first week!!! I'm 34, trying to lose 100lbs as well. Track has made me successful the last couple of weeks. Just continue and you will definitely succeed. Feel free to add me...the more support you have, is always a big help, at least for me. The extra motivation is great too!

    Well I guess I am the grandma in the group!! LOL I am 53 and need to loose 100 lbs also. I have been exercising for about 6 weeks now pretty regularly but have not lost any weight. I injured my knee and can't really walk but have to loose some weight so they can do surgery on it, total knee replacement. My friend who has lost about 80 lbs through diet and exercise said to watch my intake so I found this site. I have to have at least 15 lbs off by Dec.

    Congratulations on your first week!! :)

    I'm 29, also in HR, and started out at 256lbs.. MFP will help you to reach your goals and lose the 100lbs - you're definitely heading in the right direction! I am down 66lbs and still going (got another 35 to go before I reach where 'I think' I want to be), but I never thought I'd even get this far - it can be a bit of a rollercoaster ride, but it's definitely worth it :) best of luck!!

    Hello. I'm 29, soon to be 30! I'm married w/ 2 step children - currently unable to have any of my own. I started out with 170 lbs to lose - I've currently lost 23. I gained 150 lbs over the last 10 years, lost 90 lbs at one point, then put it all back on. I'm definitely here for encouragment and advice.
