    Hello all, I'm 28 weighing in at 204 as of this morning. Last night, I decided to recommit to logging into MFP everyday. I've been on for a couple of years now and have never really reached out for support, but my motivation is quick to fade and, more than anything, I want to finally finish what I've started. I'm the queen of quitting even when I'm seeing progress.

    Good luck to everyone, this is a time in our lives when we come into our own as women. Let's do it with bodies we are proud of! Feel free to add me.

    if you think about how we eat freely we have been responsible for our health. although i have been heavy my whole life. i know that i can lose the weight but can see how genetics impact it. i just want to be comfortable and not get any surgeries. these pills assist but are not really good for our bodies-either way they require a change in mindset and habits. it is so expensive making this transition but i also want my children to follow so i have to lead by example. this fast food is a KILLER, esp if you dont watch it. EVERYONE-PLEASE BE ENCOURAGED. this site is great and super convenient. if you get a little off track, just become more active. at least you can see whats harmful to eat! also please support my book, if you knew better you would do better (by teratineka thomas) for encouragement..lets get cute-R.xo....tera:smile::smile:

    My highest weight was 215 in 2005, just before I turned 20. I've managed to keep off all ~100 lbs. since then so I've been in maintenance since about 2007. I know how hard it is to lose that much and how daunting it seems at the beginning.

    I'm at 215 right now, but I promise it won't be for long!

    So go ahead and add me if you want, however, just know, I won't hang out with you in the 200's soon enough.

    :)

    I'm nearly 23 and when I first started MFP I was around the 216 range. Now I'm down to 194 and going steadily down. c: IT WAS REALLY EXCITING.

    I'm 22 and weighed in at 255.4 this morning. :( I've lost before, but then slowly started slipping at thanksgiving, and never got on track agian. Now I am almost back to where I started! :( I'm wanted to get down to no more then 225 by the end of the year (my birthday in may would be even better!) I need motivation for the exercising part of getting in shape. :)

    Hey all, did this group move? Or did it just stop posting????

    Question: What are my fellow 20 ( and fabs) all doing to stay a little healthier this 2013? I am going to try to focus on portion size, healthier grains, more vegetables at each meal and NOT eating after 8pm That is a big one for me. I am also not a fairly active person so I would like to start of light and work my way up in terms of exercise which is more then last year.

    So according to my BMI # I am severely overweight and have 135+ pounds to lose! I'm 5'4'' and they expect me to weigh 100 pounds? That's nuts! It's a goal, sure, but me, 100 pounds?

    I need motivation. So PLEASE add me! I need that extra 'push' to lose the weight I want to lose before my wedding!


    you don't have your BMI correctly. I am about the same and my normal BMI high range is about 110 -141. IN 2007 I was 220 ish and lost weight with diet and exercise you can do it!
