    I'm 5'5" and 219lbs. I am not a naturally active person and tracking calories is tough especially with say a sandwich or a salad when you don't have exact amounts (at least i don't use exact amounts). i'm hoping to get to about 120-160 but seem to yo-yo a lot. Feel free to add me as a friend :-)

    Feel free to add me. I'm motivated, determined and very committed to a permanent life style change. My focus is on health and well being with a side of weight loss. I'm not into fancy or weird "diets". I know that hard work and better eating choices will help me arrive at all my goals. I started at 245 lbs and I'm down to 209 lbs as of last Tuesday. First goal is under 200, next goal is 165 when I will reassess if I will try for 145. Oh and I'm 5'3" short. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Hiya
    Yup, I'm 5'5" and go 244 at the moment. I've lost just 6lb since joining myfitnesspal. My goal is to lose ANYTHING!!
    Seriously I would love to get to under 200 - preferably around the 160/170 mark.
    I've always had a healthy diet - just too much of it plus I like a glass of wine or G&T. I've never eaten ready meals not that keen on sweet stuff but would die for a plate of fish and chips, a good curry or Chinese food.
    I don't go to the gym but I walk 3 miles 4 days a week and swim for an hour once a week - all that time allows.
    So I am please with my 6lbs and my first goal is under 200 and then I may consider a fitness class. But for now I'm just too embarrassed to go.
    So, yes lets join up and see how we go!

    In January, I was 214 when I decided to join a gym and keep a closer eye on my diet. I am now around 180 and would be happy to get down to 160 (150 would be awesome!). I was once in the 160 range a few years ago and it was a perfect weight for my frame. That might not sound like much to some people, but to me, that's skinny! :o)

    All through my high school years, I weighed around 240, so I understand how hard it is.

    Just wanted to check back in and say please remember to focus on inches as well as weight loss.
    With a lot of the exercises/workouts we are doing, we're going to be adding some muscle in addition to losing the fat.
    My weight stalled for a bit, yet I could see the difference in the mirror, and measuring helped as well.

    Thanks to those that added me, too, we'll get through this together :)

    Hey there :happy:

    When I started MFP back in March, I weighed in at 265.

    I didn't want to think far enough ahead to put 199 as my first goal weight, so I put 215.

    I currently weigh 235 and I owe it all to counting calories. Before I joined MFP, I worked out regularly and participated in 5K races. I didn't keep track of what I was eating, though, and surprise surprise, I was eating WAY too much for my workouts to make any kind of a difference.

    I log into MFP every day (just hit my 175 days straight of logging) and I log everything I eat...even though most days this puts me over my "goal" for the day. I have maintained an average of losing just over a pound a week.

    I am so excited that I'm more than halfway towards my first goal of 215! :bigsmile:

    Even after my first goal is reached (50 lbs) I will STILL be in the 200's. My ultimate goal is to get down to 165.

    Oh yea, and I'm 5'6" :tongue:

    Please feel free to add me. I am good about giving encouragement and love any extra motivation I can get. I think part of what makes this site so successful is the friendships and support you can gain from coming here.

    Good luck everyone! :flowerforyou:

    I am 5'1" @ 233.8 pounds. I would like to join in and help. I would love to reach 200 lbs, and since at times I get discouraged and give up easily I believe it would help to have someone I could relate to. Thanks for your post:smile:

    Hi. I'm 5'2 and originally started at 312. Right now I'm at 237. I don't really have a certain pound I would like to be. I would just like to get down to a size 14. Exercise is a struggle for me because I am tired, sore and I have a lot of extra flabby skin. But it's not going to stop me.
    Good luck to you.

    most definitely! I am 5-3 276 lbs and my goal, is about 120 lbs away. Just getting back to my logging and found a crazy affordable bootcamp thanks to a friend of a friend. It would be amazing to have MFP friends with similar challenges! Thanks for posting! :wink:

    I just re-started tracking my intake, this time w/ eyes wide open as I take a 12 week course about nutrition and weight loss. I am 5' 4" weighed in at 234.6 today down near 4.5 lbs from last week when the class started, but then again I was sick w/ cold this week. I too have just under 100 lbs to lose- cannot yet wrap my head around that. It's funny but back in highschool when I was anorexic I always thought I was sooo fat and now that I should be saying I'm fat I don't feel half as fat as I did then and am surprised every time I truely look in the mirror and see how large I've gotten post baby # 2 (age6) & 3 (age 17 months). Cannot believe how quickly I meet/ exceed how much I'm supposed to be taking in... and don't even want to think about how much I used to without caring or thinking. I too have "eaten my emotions" and stress for too many years. I am taking it baby bites at a time... first w/ the tracking, then on to changing WHAT I'm eating to healthier; already eat wide variety w/ all our food allergies but when I get stressed or rushed I grab the wrong foods- this is improving since I've made a concentrated effort on prepping fruits & veggies, etc and WAY smaller sample grab bags of various snacks and wraps to eat healthy on the go... I do this more than cook now on the weekends and cook more simpler stuff t/o the week now. For me this is not just about the food but what underlies the behaviors and I want to be around for my family. I know in my head that I should be working out but cannot find the time with work and raising a family while my husband is in school and working- and he even helps way more than many hubbys do. I am totally lacking the motivation or even desire to discuss working out... I'm sure it will come. I used to use the excuse that I was afraid I would cross over the line and become anorexic again w/ over working out all day... but that is SO not reality now. Soooo much work to do in so many areas to get past this hurdle called "morbid obesity" and into health again! It's time for me to no longer come last!!!

    I am new tho this and ready to lose! Currently I am at an all time high of 258. I'd like to be 165 or lower, but more importantly, I'd like to change my lifestyle. I'm lucky because I like to exercise - not to so lucky about the lack of time with 3 small kids,

    At the beginning of my weight loss journey I weighed 280.. I am about 255 now and I'm 5'4ish. I've maintained that weight for about 5 months, so I'm ready to push myself to my first goal weight which is 200lbs. ADD ME (:

    Hey everyone thanks for the wonderful feedback and adds I'm hoping people will still read this but I was wondering if you guys could add my sister too? She's very overweight and has battled with it for years due to pcos, she managed to drop 4 stone last year but still has a very long way to go. She wants to have more children and she's just hit 30 and fears her time is running out the doctors won't help her conceive until she's at a healthier weight. She tends to lack motivation at times and since this community has helped me so much lately wondering if u guys could give her that positive push in the right way :) her names miasue31 thanks! X

    Yeah I'm 5'8" and I'm currently about 265lbs but at one point I was almost 300lbs and I was a lot heavier at the end of last year and before I started working out. I joined this site because my physical trainer recommended keeping track of my calorie intake and that this place was good. My ultimate goal is probably closer to 165 but I will know when I get there, since I'm also strength training.
