    Hi, my name is Judith. I joined two days ago. I have 75 pounds to lose. I lost that amount many years ago and kept it off for 5 years. Then I gained it back over many years. I am tired of carrying all of this weight around and it's affects on my body. I am 63 and most people are surprised and say that I look younger. But I have noticed lately that the heavier I get, the older I look. It just isn't healthy. My daughter is going to have a baby in May and I have a 14 year old grandson. I want to be around many years to enjoy them. I live in beautiful San Diego, so I don't have any weather excuses. I feel very happy to have found this site and invite anyone to be my friend. I admire so many who have lost so much on this site. I want to become one of them. I have a cute golden retriever named Rosie. We like to take walks and I like to rebound. Rosie just likes to sleep on the little trampoline. I am going on a Washington D.C. trip in March with my granson's school and I need to get some of this weight off to keep up with a bunch of 8th graders :)

    Hello everyone! I am a full time working mom of two. My current weight is 168 and my goal weight is 135. I have been dieting for 3 weeks now and have just lost 3 pounds. It's seems it took forever to get the first 3 pounds off. I hope the rest comes off quicker than that. Good luck everyone!

    Hello! What kind of things are you doing? Are you just dieting or exercising too? I'm starting my 4th week of the Insanity workout and haven't lost one pound, but I have lost 2 pant sizes. I workout because I like to eat. I have cut back on the amount I eat, but I'm still eating what I want.

    Good luck and just keep working at it.

    Hi,

    Was in a hotel spa recently and weighed myself........OMG what a shock, I knew I was getting heavier after a long cruise followed by Christmas and New Year, but not that much. So something has to be done!
    Found MFP on ipad and downloaded the app.

    However your help would be appreciated as I need encouragement and motivation....even nagging!

    Add me and lets help everyone to succeed.

    Hi Everyone! I'm from Arlington, Texas. I just joined yesterday. I wish all reading happy losing the healthy way!

    I am 48, married,and have 3 children ages 20, 18 and 16 (all girls). I have chronic pain from health conditions called Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) and Fibromyalgia (FM). Between three pregnancies and all the meds I have taken in the past 20 years to combat the pain I have I added 90 pounds to my frame! :noway:

    I broke my ankle, have fought a BAD bone infection for a year and a half and, well, now I'm chosing amputation of my lower leg to get me back on my feet. No pities, please! It's a SCARY decision, yes, but I'll be able to walk well again in just a few months!

    I have about 63 pounds left to lose. So here I go! Thanks for reading.

    Cheryl

    My name is Shonette I'm 40 and want to lose 100lbs. today is my first day and i'm looking for all the support i can get. My bff is new to this as well but we dont mind extra support.
  • Hey there I'm Madilyn. I'm 13 and EXTREMELY overweight. I weigh 160 at the moment (at 5'7) I recently noticed how weak and overweight I am and decided to make a change. I kicked in gear last month and I just started Insanity, week one day 3. It's killing me, but i like it haha! My goal is to get down to 125-135 by Feburary. The goal is pretty out there but I'm willing to be out there to get the body i want!

    My name is Ariel. I'm 20, engaged and will be married on March 16, and 17 weeks pregnant today.
    The day we started trying to get pregnant, I weighed 210, now at 17 weeks, I weigh 211.

    A year ago, I weighed 175. I put on all this weight working at a gas station and not worrying about what I ate (it also doesn't help that the boyfriend is an AMAZING cooker).

    Current Weight: 211
    Goal Weight: 130.

    I have 81 lbs to go. Hopefully watching what I eat and working out, I lose a little and try to maintain my weight (the doctor gave his approval). So I won't have even more to lose after the baby gets here :)
