What about you guys?

I'm looking to lose around 20 lbs, if more then great. I'd like to tone up everything lol, but especially stomach, legs and arms. Trying to be much more fit and healthy in the process, too. More energy, more sports, more fun! And no more turning down pool and beach parties0

I'm aiming for a 15 pound loss, but would be decently satisfied with 10. I'm finding that the best benefit from eating healthy and exercising is how much better I feel and how little guilt is there. :-)
My diary is open and I love suggestions for healthy meals and snacks.0 -
I'm open for suggestions too, but my diary is set to "Friends Only" so all of you can feel free to add me!
Also, I'm trying to become healthier during my weight-loss process as well, it's just hard for me to eat clean 100% of the time.0 -
I have lost a whopping 44 lbs since last November.
I have quite a ways to go to be at a healthy bmi and need to lose at least another 15-18 lbs to get there. I'm learning to eat healthy and turn down temptation. AND I'm exercising at least 30 minutes each day.
I appreciate any suggestions for excerise and food and any feedback on things I may be doing incorrectly. Good luck to all!

Hello all!! I have a long journey ahead of me but I am looking to lose 50+ lbs and tone/ lean out my whole body. I eat healthy with the exception of some indulgences here and there, and I love being active but some days I struggle with staying on point and finding the motivation to get in my workouts. I hope with some added motivation & support from others who are going through/ experiencing similar journeys I will make my goal!!

My name is Melissa and I'm wanting to lose (at least) 30 pounds. I have come to the realization that I am addicted to over-eating and have to cut out sugar and refined grains completely, since I have absolutely no self-control.
I feel like I'm constantly on a weight loss pendulum...going from thinking cardio is the answer, then weight lifting, no grains to moderation.
I wish I had my own personal nutritionist and trainer to help me navigate everyone's personal outlooks.
I need to lose this weight, I have to be healthy for my family but mostly for myself.0 -
Hi I'm Erin and I'm new to MFP and in it to lose around 30kgs (66 lbs).. I could use all the motivation available, but I've been doing it alone for about 4 weeks and lost about 2kgs already and can already see a change in my body muscle-wise (arms and legs mostly). Its a big goal, but I need to do it so I can look at myself and be happy with the girl staring back.
Glad I found this group, feel free to add me 0 -

Hi everyone
I'm 29 , and have a two year old little boy. I'm aiming to lose 1.5 stones (not sure of kilos or lbs conversions). Anyway I often eat whilst cooking for the family, and it's usually a spoonful for my little boy, a spoonful for mammy....and of course I don't let food go to waste so I tend to finish any leftovers too.....I also have a sweet tooth. So i've decided to start my diet tomorrow, and i'm planning on getting fit......So here it goes.......0 -

Hey all, I'm Laura, a mom of 5! I am looking to lose about 50lbs maybe 60, but i'd even be happy with 40, and to tone up, I want to be healthy and feel good, which right now I don't.

Hello everyone, my name is Erika and I am a 21 year old college student as well as the oldest of eight. It has been very difficult to lose weight. I want to lose 90 pounds. I know it may take a long time to get there but I know it's possible.0

hi. I started on plan a few days ago (this is day 3) and lost 4 pounds so far. I have about 100 pounds more to lose, ugh! my back story I've been overweight most of my adult life. a number of years ago I lost 100 pounds and got to my goal but well, as the story goes I gained it all back. my goal is a weight goal BUT I also have a size goal of 4-6. if I get to the size I want to be and my weight is higher that is okay. most important to me is being healthy and a size I like. if that happens at a little higher weight than my goal is set that's fine. stats are 140/136/135
I am doing lower carb along with counting calories. I have a goal calorie range and also carb range. on the carb side it can be very low up to 100. calories is between 2400 and 2800. (I have a nutritionist I worked with before that helped me lose the last to get to my goal and she is working with me to figure the right ranges and will adjust as needed). my plan is most the time, if my carbs are on the higher end of my range, my calorie's should be at the lower end of my range. if my carbs are at the lower end, its okay for me to go to the higher end of my cal. goal IF needed.
I am eating mostly whole foods: meat, veggies, cheese, some fruit if wanted, whole grains at times. as a little time goes along I will allow a free meal a week but I'm not going to do that for a few weeks, at least. I want to make sure I'm in good control and in a good routine first. basically, nothing is totally off limits but I don't want to eat the junk food/sugar on a regular basis so will try and save those types of things for a free meal when i add them in and have them in a controlled way.
also am exercising. just started that again too. I have back issues so I am forcing myself to go slow and work up even though when I get going its very hard for me to not go gung ho. this week, I am only doing cardio and next week I will add in a few free weights 2 or 3 days a week and see how it goes.
some personal info: I am 45 years old. been married 24 years and have 3 kids and 2 dogs. our kids are 28 (my step son but I claim him), 23 daughter and 21 daughter. I only have the 23 year old living at home at this time but she hopes to get her own place soon. she just got her RN license and is looking for a job in order to do that.
feel free to ask me anything else you'd like to know.0 -

Hi, My name is Heather and I have 3 kids and a wonderful husband that supports me in my weight loss journey. The only problem is that every diet plan I have tried I have failed. I need something that I can do on my own or with my family and I also need it to be with in reason of a budget....family of 5 1 income yada yada yada....lol....im sure im not the woman out there. Please someone let my know if you know of a good one. I am also looking for some support and fellow women to join together with support....maybe even in my area! Thanks for taking the time and reading this and good luck on your Journey as well!!!0 -
HI. My name is Vera. I have already lost about 28 pounds. And i think i want to lose about 21 more pounds. I want to be a comfortable size 6. I have always felt my best at that size. But i haven't been there since my hysterectomy about 9 years ago.
And i need to tone it all up. So that's my goal, a toned size 6. I'm only 5"3 so thats not to small. I'm in it to lose it.0 -
