    I started eleven months ago (expecting to fail again) with a goal of fifty pounds. I'm FOUR LITTLE POUNDS away!

    I've adjusted my goal to aim for within the "healthy" weight range, which means about 70 total. I hope to accomplish that by this summer.

    I've had some stalls but it's been an easier year than I expected. It's a mind thing, really.

    Add me if you'd like. Making mfp friends a little ahead of me on the path helped me immensely.

    I've lost some weight and now I have 50 pounds to lose to meet my goal. 50 pounds will put me back at the weight and pants/shirt size I was in high school (many years ago). Hey maybe I'll even be able to fit in my old letter jacket (one can always hope).

    Anyone with similar goals; please feel free to "Friend Request" me.

    This is hard sometimes and it helps to have the positive feedback from your MFP friends.

    My goal is about 65 pounds to start with. I lose about a pound or two a week since I started in Jan.

    Hi....first of all...I love your Peanuts pic...here in Michigan I find myself looking out at all the snow quite often lately...haha.

    I too am doing my best to lost 40-50 pounds by staying at 1200 Cal/day and exercising at least 30-60 min/day at least 5 days/week....and recording everything I pop into my mouth. I've always thought I'd do well with those boards they call "no-nos" that they use on little ones who've had cleft pallet surgery ....no bent elbows causing any harm. But alas....too silly...so good old diet and exercise for me.

    Good on you for starting this journey. With even 1 pound loss per week, we'll all be healthier and svelter in 40-50 weeks!!

    Best to all of you. Peace.

    I am! I need to lose a minimum of 68 pounds just to reach the far end of the spectrum to be considered in the healthy weight range. If any one else is also looking to lose a large amount, a friend request would be greatly appreciated. :)

    Feel free to add me, I'm 50, I started last week. I have a history with Fitness Pal two years ago, I lost a good bit of weight running and eating better . Counting calories works!. Had some mishaps in the last two years and have gained it all back and plus, I know I can achieve my goal again.

    Im on the 50 lb quest, 160 is my goal then after than maybe 140-135. I have put a curse on white flour, packaged foods, sweets, diet Coke (my nemesis). I'm slowly adapting a paleo lifestyle when it comes to food choices, if I can stick to this at 3-4 days a week, it should help me. Winter has been brutal, Im pumped for warmer weather, tennis and biking! Yay!

    Hi everyone. My name is Meghan and I'm 24, and my ultimate goal is to lose 40 pounds. It's always a daily struggle to make sure I'm not eating anything bad, it's like I need someone to follow me around and tell me "put that down!" All day long. Anyone looking to help give support to someone or who needs it back as we'll feel free to add me!

    Absolutely!!! I'm actually wanting to lose about 80 pounds, and I just started a little over a month ago. I'm already down 13 pounds, and already am feeling better about myself. Feel free to add me & we can help hold each other accountable :)
