    I started my new way of life on June 14th. I've been starving myself so long, I am having to bite the bullet and get my calories back up before I can start losing. I'm a mom of 3, son 21, daughter 13 and daughter 3. I work two jobs (55-60hrs) a week, but I am forcing myself to make time to exercise. I also quit smoking on May 22, after 34 years of smoking.

    SW - 172
    CW-172
    WG-135

    Mini-goal - to start losing actual pounds by July 1.

    So I do have a question: I've seen a lot of different groups on these threads...how do we find them again, or do we just have to keep checking. Sorry :blushing: I'm not that computer savvy

    So, if you look at the top of the page, you'll see "My Topics", click on that & you will be taken to a page that has the last 25 topics that you've posted in. This one should be in there. That way you don't get "lost".

    Hi, i just started today, so my starting weight and current weight are both 189, and I'm very short, so doctors say my weight should be about 100 lbs but i'll be more than happy with 115. my mini goal is to be out of the plus sized section when i shop for a halloween costume this year.

    I found this site and joined May 31, a Sunday, so technically I really started on Monday, June 1. Hope that qualifies me.

    I'm 58, am "suffering" through empty nest syndrome as the last of my two kids graduated college and moved away. I'm also not working at the moment, so losing weight is my new focus and "job." Although I guess I shouldn't consider exercising a job--it's actually gotten to be kind of fun and something I look forward to. Who'd have thought it?

    Starting weight 157
    Current weight 155
    Goal weight 145
    Mini goal 149 which would put me in the normal BMI range

    I actually stepped up my going to Curves and trying to exercise even more last Labor Day when I weighed 170, so I got down to 157 from then til June 1. Following MFP will hopefully spur me on.

    I've been at 190 until last week, when I started again and found this site.
    So my starting weight: 190

    Hi June starters,

    I have several goals that I think MFP can help with, not the least of which is to shed the weight...

    SW: 187.8
    CW: 181 (today is my 2 week mark, so that is down 1.8 from last Friday)
    GW: 135

    mini goal would be to be in the 160's by August 15. I would like to be in the 150's by the middle of September.

    My other goals are to workout at least 5 days a week, start a clean living diet (for the most part), and fit back into my wedding dress by our next anniversary in February.
