    Congrats on the first step to you journey! My name is Stephanie and I am trying to lose 60 lbs. in about 5 months. So far I feel like this is the best support system for losing weight I have ever had!

    I would like to lose about 20 lbs more. I was 202 lbs at my heaviest and 189 lbs when I started MFP. I'm at around 180 lbs now, so 10 lbs on MFP took me 2 months. Good luck!

    I'm not sure anymore as I've switched my focus to strength training. I'd be fine if the number on the scale goes up or down or stays the same at this point so long as I get muscular and my fat goes away resulting in a smaller, sexier me! :bigsmile:

    Welcome. I have about 175lbs to lose! I know its alot but I am in this for the long haul. I started about 2 weeks ago and lost 20.5lbs already. I know alot of it was probably water weight. I have totally changed the way I eat and started working out with Zumba Fitness on the Wii. The app for my phone is the best thing ever. It helps me hold myself accountable for what I am eating. I definatly think twice before I eat something. Before starting this I NEVER looked at the back of the box of something.. now I do it without thinking about it! Good luck! Feel free to add me :)

    I just joined MFP too. I decided that it was time to buckle and take control. I have only been using MFP for 2 days and already noticed a change. I realize that having to actually right down and acknowledge what you eat makes you want to make better choices. Who knew eating an entire pizza was a weeks worth of calories??! :laugh:
    My goal is to lose 40 pounds by November. I have started the "Couch to 5k" schedule 3 days a week and am taking a Zumba class once a week. I am hoping the the food journal will make me more conscience of what I am putting into my body and will help making a life change easier.
    Good luck everyone :drinker:

    I want to lose 30 or 40 pounds. I'll know when I get there. I want to be fit but don't want to lose all my curves...

    Hello all. I'm new to MFP. I heard about it from a friend today. I'm trying to lose about 65 to 75 pounds. I want to lose at least 4 pounds a month, but would prefer closer to 8. At this point, I think I'd be happy with any amount of loss! good luck to all of us!
