Hey guys I am new on MFP...started on Thursday! My name is Amanda and I started losing weight about 6 months ago. I have lost a total of 61 pounds and I want to lose 59 more pounds. My goal is 180...which I know is still big, but I kind of like being thick 180 I think would be perfect for me. Anyone with similar goals??

Absolutely! This is the end of my 7th week on mfp and I've loved every single minute of it. I'm Bette (like Bette Midler), 63 and am in the midst of losing 100 pounds as my goal. That would put me, too, at 180. As of last Sunday, I'd lost 22 pounds. My doctor diagnosed me as Pre-Diabetic and asked if I wanted to work on it with diet/exercise or meds. Of course, I chose the first option. I want to feel the accomplishment that I have done this myself. I love having "friends" on mfp because we can encourage each other and keep up with our goals, challenges, ups/downs, etc.

This has been very easy. I personally get up a few minutes early each morning and plan my day's menu and add it to my diary. That way I can tweak it by dinner time to see where I'm getting close to my limit or need to add to make it a good, healthy day. Can't say enough about how this has encouraged me, and I in turn am encouraging my friends. We all need that pat on the back or that hand reached out in friendship.

I'd love to be your friend. And welcome to mfp:)

Hi Amanda! Sixty pounds in six months, that's impressive! I'm another tall woman - 5'10", currently 215 pounds - looking to drop 25 pounds. I too am built to be thicker and stronger; no string beans in my family. I've lost 10 pounds in the last four months, with moderate changes to my diet and irregular exercise. I'm using this site to help me step it up a notch and concentrate on getting back to size 12/14. Best of luck on your journey, and feel free to add me to your growing friends list. (And hello from Dallas!)
