    Hi all :) I'm shooting for a 50 pound loss. Last summer, I started MFP and exercised daily and lost nearly 30 pounds. Now, while that may sound great, it's not because I did it the wrong way. See, when I was in my teens, I had an eating disorder. This past summer I reverted back and was not eating much and exercising to boot. The weight of course melted off but after the holidays and winter days stranded inside with the kids, it came back on in NO TIME! I want to do it RIGHT this time!!!! I want to lose the weight, eat RIGHT, exercise, and KEEP IT OFF! I am always looking for great support and those of you who may want the support, just ADD ME :) I have lost 4 pounds so far and am kind of in a slump now and not really motivated to work out. Gotta keep going though!! I am hoping to start the C25K very soon as well as doing my elliptical trainer. Tried the 30 Day Shred but after a week, my knees ached, got bad shin splints, and walking up and down my 3 story house became unbearable. I don't have a choice, with 2 toddlers, but to walk up and down the stairs, so I had to give up 30 Day Shred :(

    I have 61.5lbs left to go, to get to the top end of my goal (130 - 135lbs). I have already lost 20.5lbs since the end of February.

    I'm here for the long haul! and I would love to add more friends who are encouraging and supportive... to whom I can return that support!!

    Ugh, I still have over 100 to go, feel free to add me :) I love new friends.

    Water has been making a big difference for me, I haven't been doing well with my water intake the past week and I have noticed I'm snacking way more.

    Hey everyone. There's some great stories on here. My highest weight was 289 lbs., in 2011, and I have now lost 60 pounds. I still have a ways to go, but I wanted to say that what has helped me the best is eating healthy (all day long with snacked size meals)walking, dancing, and adding a 5 lb. medicine ball to my workouts. There's some great core workouts that can help with the stomach area, and possibly tightening up excessive skin. The medicine balls are only $10-$15, so it's worth a shot instead of buying a lot of other DVDs, or exercise equipment. The great thing is that everybody puts everything on YouTube, so you can look up "Medicine Ball and Core Workouts" and find a ton of stuff. I remember last year, when I had only lost 8 pounds, I felt a little disappointed, and overwhelmed. But then, here I am 60 pounds lighter, and starting to jog...for fun, and I feel great. I still have 84 pounds to lose, but I'm like, "Bring it on!". Well, I wish everyone the best! Oh, and with the medicine ball, there's workouts for friends, or couples, so make it fun!

    I've lost a lot, but still have quite a ways to go. I'm having trouble with some loose skin, but not so much that I can't help myself to some extent. I'm hoping to start lifting weights in a few months and go through a bulking phase when I get closer to my goal weight. My stomach is my biggest problem area and I am looking forward to shrinking it more.

    I can honestly say that consistently logging on MFP and staying focused on changing my lifestyle has helped me more than anything. I have been a yo-yo dieter for years and am thrilled to have finally attained success and the positive attitude to keep being successful.

    hi everyone. i have 50-60 more to lose.

    it's great reading all the stories here of people who have lost so much already :smile:

    it's been going well so far, but kind of slower than i expected. in my weight loss fantasies when i first started, i saw myself being 40 pounds down by now. :laugh: but it's all good, i'm losing in a way that i know i'll be able to maintain once i reach goal.

    there's also a group

    I've been going at this for about a week or so. I changed my diet drastically (hitting the gym and eating under 1000 calories a day). So far so good. I lost 13 pounds in three days! =o I need to lose about 100 more. We got this, though! =D
