    Hi! I'm Gin

    age: I'll be 41 this month *gasp lol

    height: 5'5

    starting weight: 157

    after losing: 137

    current weight: 140

    goal weight: 130

    quite often i lose gain lose gain..........most of it's due to illnesses that I have and when I get sick I get down and when I get down I eat to comfort myself. I've realized this is my problem just have to find better ways to deal with it.

    that and I got down to only having 3 lbs to lose to reach my first goal and well got a little cocky I guess just let myself slide.

    last week I gained i think 4 lbs due to fact i had medical procedure done, so I'm on a mission to lose that and the rest I have to go but vacation is in two weeks
    so i will probably gain the 4/5 back that I lose but I'm prepared to deal with that when it happens one day at a time 5 lbs is much easier to get off than 20 just have to stick with it!

    I love this group, I really need the help and support. It seems like this second time around is harder than ever and I have already given up and couple times in the past months and now I am determined because I know I have been there and I know what it's like and I know I love it. I don't wanna keep staring at my old pictures wishing and beating myself up for letting go. I wanna be there! Because I know I can be ! We all CAN BE THERE AGAIN !

    Hey thanks for the Invite!

    Quick blurb about me.

    My name is Josh. I am Former Army, I was Air Assault Infantry, while Active i weighed 200 Lbs, I am 5'9" at the time my mile time was 5.5min I could bench 310 by set, meaning more than just one time. I could leg press closer to 480.

    I left the Army two years ago.

    Now I am still 5'9", but I weigh 265 lbs. I cant run a mile period.

    So, I can relate to everyone here... I didn't just fall off the wagon, I fell off and it ran me over as it rolled on past!

    Name: Cara

    Age: 30

    Height: 5' 0"

    Starting Weight: 190 was my highest.

    Weight after losing: 127

    Current Weight: 168ish

    Goal Weight: 150 for short term goal, 120 long term.


    I was 124 at 3 months pregnant with my first child, I'd like to get back there! It kills me that I was 3 pounds away.. and I got 'comfortable'. And it took me 2 years to get back on track. Which sucks.

    Lovely to meet you all!

    My name is Fox:happy:
    I am a 55 year old woman
    My current weight is 143 pounds
    Goal weight125
    In the last 15 years i fluctuated between 129 and 151
    I tried different diets and water fasting
    But every time the weight comes back. Hopefully, this time it will be different because this time it is going to be a SLOW process.
    I am looking forward to reading other people's stories and advice.

    HI Ya'll :smile: Thanks for the invite!

    Name: Darlene

    Age: 55 years old

    Height: 5'7

    Starting Weight: 194 was my highest.

    Weight after losing: 168 was my lowest (I felt really good about how I looked at this weight and my clothes fit fantastic)

    Current Weight: 183

    Goal Weight: Short term goal 180
    Long term goal between 165-170

    I lost most of the weight four yrs ago very quickly on one of the quick weight loss programs. I quickly learned that those programs (at least for me) are not easy to maintain. Not only were they very expensive but they didn't teach me how or what to eat. Once off the program and on my own I struggled and eventually gained the weight back plus a few pounds. Now older and wiser (I hope) I realize it has to be a lifestyle change. MFP has helped me so much since I joined in January. I'm down 13 lbs! I still struggle sometimes but I get back up and start again because this time it IS a lifestyle change.
    Looking forward to the challenge and the VICTORY:smile:

    P.S. My ticker shows the weight loss since joining MFP

    I am brand new to MFP. This is my first group and my first post! I lost weight before on Weight Watchers and fell off the wagon.
    Here are my stats:

    Height: 5'9"
    Starting Weight: 195
    Weight after losing: 178
    Current Weight: 190
    Goal: somewhere around 160

    I'm very excited about MFP and this group. I need all the support I can get!
