Looking for friends with 50+ pounds to lose :)

whiteoutpen

Hey everyone! My name's Amanda, I'm from California, and I'm 18 years old. I'm looking for some friends on here to keep me motivated. I'm currently about 218 pounds, down from 230, since I started weighing myself February or so. I try to go to the gym 5 times a week, and I LOVE Zumba! I can only go twice per week though

I'd love some friends who have a lot to lose so we can motivate each other I'm trying to get to around 130, but I'll see when I get there. I've never been healthy, really, and my lowest weight was probably in the 170 range. I love to talk and I'd love to motivate you! Send me a friend request and let's kick each other's butts until they're looking good

Anyone and everyone feel free to add/friend me! :flowerforyou:
Good luck to everyone! :drinker:

I'm surprised, I didn't think there would be so many people who were similar to me and wanted to lose weight together. You guys are awesome

Foxxy18

Feel free to add me! I'm 18 as well, looking to lose about 80 pounds(:

I have lost 11 and have 60 to go. My trainer today said that new studies show exercise is only 10% of the contribution to weight loss. She said that eating healthy is the other 90%. However, she said that exercising will increase your stamina, strenghten your muscles, and make you an overall healthy person. So, no excuses for not exercising! (Darn, I used to be able to exercise and not change my diet). As I get older (53 now) it really is more about eating right AND exercising!

heathermarnold

I am 29 with 59 lbs lost! I still have about 80-90 lbs to go. I have not set a definite end goal as of right now.

whiteoutpen

You guys are so inspirational I'm so proud of the fact you guys have even lost one pound! It's so much harder than people think, you know?

Hi Amanda!

It is amazing the support you can get on this site. I am in about the same boat weight wise as you are. I started at 232 in mid December 2012. I took the 2 weeks around the holidays off (& gained 7lbs), but got really serious the first of the year. As of last Monday I had lost 33lbs, since on MFP. I actually had lost some before I joined so total is about 36lb to date.

I am 5'6", and would like to get down to around 150lbs. I haven't seen 130lbs since I was 17 years old. I think for my body type and build I will be good at around 145-150. So I still have at least 46 more to go. Close enough to 50!

I have a trip planned to Jamacia in Nov. and want to be able to have lost the weight and be maintaining before I go.

I will take all the support I can get and can be a great cheer leader! :drinker:

Friend me if you would like.
Brenda

Hey there! I have a good ways to go as well! So far I have lost 32 lbs since Thanksgiving. I joined MFP in January. This site has been a great tool! I am exercising and staying under my daily calorie allowance and carbs. Jillian Michael's 30 day shred kicks my rear end! lol Sometimes I feel like she is killing me hahaha!

Anyways I sent you a friend request and a few others here as well. If anyone wants to add me, feel free! I think it is great for us to be able to come on here and motivate each other! See you around! :flowerforyou:
