  • Hi everybody

    I am KJ

    I don't even know my current weight. Last week it was 321, yep. That saddens me to input that number, but it is what it is. I am 52 years old and this has been my struggle for YEARS. I keep trying and failing to grab ahold of this. I am trying again. So as always I am hoping to find a sisterhood with like minds to support and be supported by to get healthy.

    We are all with you KJ!!!!

  • Hello my beautiful sisters,

    My name is Whitney. I am 28 years of age. I'm ready to see results. Last week, I weighed 218, today I weighed myself.. My current weight is 214. Of course I don't see it yet. My goal is 185 lbs (for now). I've gained a lot of weight after my college years and my baby. Currently, I'm trying to stay away from bread, so I'm not eating it. I'm here for encouragement on my journey and any tips you ladies can give me. Let's help one another.

    -Peace & Love,
    Whitney!

My goal weight is 170. I'm trying to get in the habit of being more consistent and accountable. Good luck to everyone on this journey!

    Hello everyone!!!!

    My name is Rose and I am 36 years old. I've been on a weight lost roller coaster for over 10 years now. My lowest weight was 150 lbs and my highest has been 220lbs. I want this time to be it and I am confident that it will be. Besides losing the weight I have adjusted my thinking; I am committed to a lifestyle change. My last weigh in was late last month and I was 181.5 lbs. My goal is to get down to my leanest weight which according to my doctors would be 145lbs. I workout at least 4 days a week some days twice, but I have been slowly shredding the pounds. According to the professionals I am doing everything I am supposed to except sleeping. I'm excited about walking out this journey with all of you!!!

    Greetings Ladies!

    My name is Jovani (Jo for short) and I, like most of you have been on a weight roller coaster. I always maintained my weight between 150-165 from my teenage thru college years. I'm a former athlete and college cheerleader so I know what I am capable of in terms of fitness goals and weight requirements. I too am a new mom. I have a 1yr old daughter whom I know keeps me busy, but with her, working full-time and a long commute home, fitness and exercise most days falls off my radar. Currently I am at my heaviest at 198. During pregnancy I got up to 215, but with good old fashioned breastfeeding, I was down to 186. Soon as I was done breastfeeding...the weight went right back up!

    I am tired of hiding behind clothes and constantly having to replace articles of clothing because something doesn't fit. My weight has completely changed my perception of myself to the point where I don't recognize what I see anymore. So finally, I got fed up enough to start making the changes I needed to gain ME back. I have the support of my loving Partner who is also on the fitness challenge with me...he is wanting to get back into football shape and even my daughter has fun working out at home with us!

    I'm not looking to be skinny (I think I would look funny) I just want to be fit and curvy. I don't care about abs (though that would be nice. LOL) but as long as my belly is flat and my muffin top has vanished...I consider that a victory! Black women have the most beautiful body shape that comes in all shades of brown. We have hips. We have booty. And if you are like me you have Thighs for days! I believe that if we set realistic body image goals for ourselves and strive toward achieving those goals fitness can be fun...especially with the help of like-minded sisters like ourselves!

    Hello everyone! DeeDee here and glad that I found this group. I'm a divorced mother if two children and have struggled with keeping my weight under control due to injuries. My overall goal is to become healthy! I'm tired of feeling lethargic all the time. I've been a member of MFP for a couple of years but decided to come back, happy I did. I had no clue that this site had such a plethora of information. I had only been using the app. I look forward to sharing, motivating and encouraging everyone. So, please feel free to add me.
