in Introduce Yourself
Let's motivate each other into completing our goals! I'm specifically looking for friends that want to lose a lot of weight like me or have lost a lot of weight because I'll feel more comfortable and motivated around people in similar situations. Nothing is worse in real life than saying to a friend that's model thin that you're working on losing weight only for them to tell you that they're fat and they need to lose weight too. :(

My goal weight is 180 lbs ... for now. I weigh 250 right now. :noway: My wake up call came when I no longer fit into my size 16 pants after wearing dresses for a few months. I had to buy a pair of size 18 jeans and I couldn't believe I'd let it get this far. It's been a long time coming and I'm just tired of constantly being tired and not being healthy. So yeah. I'm working my way back to a healthier weight. Who knows, maybe I'll even surpass my goals and be comfortable wearing a bikini some day. :laugh:

    I, too, have a lot of weight to lose. I went to several weddings this summer and was shocked by the pictures. Made me cringe. I would love be a supportive friend:smile:

    My story is similar to yours and others on this thread. I have about 60 lb to lose and shaping up to do. I want to not only look better in clothes but have more energy. I would blame the illness I contracted for the initial weight gain, but it's been five years and time for me to lose that story and write a new one. It would be great to connect with you and others facing this challenge.

    Hey all! I'm also trying to lose at least 50 pounds. I could definitely use the motivation! Please feel free to add me. For the most part, I'm good about what I eat, but you'll see that I have days where I eat like crap. I feel like crap ALWAYS the next day, so I'm trying to get out of that habit! Hopefully having friends on here will help!!

    My goal is 50 pounds. I had lost a lot of weight about three years ago because I went to Basic Training for the Army National Guard but over the past couple years it has all crept back on. I want to get back to where I was. Im a size 14 right now but my goal is to be a size 10. Please add me! I would LOVE to not be doing this alone. Im on Day 2 and I know this is going to be very long road.

    I am in the same boat as you. I have about 75 lbs. to loose and cannot continue to buy new clothes each season because mine are too small! My health is changing for the worse and just turning 40 made me open my eyes. I lost my mother when she was a young 42 due to her poor health choices. I don't want my kids to suffer a loss like I did.

    Please add me as a friend. As of today I have just lost 50.1 pounds. Two years ago I weighed 196.6--I have a photo some where and I will share it with you. I originally lost 43 pounds last year and regained about 8-9. Thats when I decided I couldnt regain the weight I struggled with to lose. My daughter told me about Fitness pal and I logged on. Now I am.as of this morning at 50.1 pounds lost. I couldn't have accomplished this without the supposrt of this group.

    Good luck with your goal,and I will be there to help you stay motivated.

    My starting weight was 212 but when I joined I was 209. I will be 50 years young in feb. my goal is to lose 48 more lbs by then. I get frustrated easily and I get on my scale at least 15-20 per day. I used to have 2 scales but that started driving my crazy so I got rid of one. Ya I know I'm still crazy!! I have an 8 year old granddaughter and I try not to let her see me get on the scale so often. I hope there is someone that can help me through this...I also have a scale at work :grumble:
