Hi. I'm Dawn and my goal is 160 lbs by this time next year. I haven't weighed that much since high school. I'm working out for the first time and watching what I'm eating.
My goal is to lose 69 lbs in one year.

Hello I'm Dixie. I have been trying to lose the same 30 pounds for about 3 years without much luck. My daughter-in-law told me about this program and so I decided to give it a try. I've only been on this about a month now and have lost 5 pounds so far. It may not seem like a lot but it sure is to me. I gives me hope again that I can finally get to my goal.
So I started this at 167 and I want to be 140, I know it doesn't sound like much but for me it is and I've been struggling.0 -

Hi! I'm hoping this group doesn't fizzle out like my other groups seem to have. My name is Lindsay.
I started out at 224 - the heaviest I've ever been - in January of this year.
My current weight is 197 (+/- 1 lb ALL FRIGGIN MONTH).
My goal weight is 140-145 by my 30th birthday in April 2013 OR my trip to Cancun in June 2013. Heck, at this point, another 30 lbs would be awesome & completely acceptable.
I've got another 50-57 lbs to lose. I've almost completed the Couch to 5k program, and I've really enjoyed seeing my body transform through jogging - which I've ALWAYS hated, until now.0 -
Well... I am not sure exactly how much I want to lose total - I've been heavy since I was a kid. But I do know that I need to be under 180. Currently I have gained weight from my SW but only a few pounds, and my trainer has me strength training while doing cardio.

Hello my name is Luanne and I have struggled with my weight for a long long time. This spring I was told I have Type 2 diabetes and I have come to realize that I do not need to diet I need to change the way I eat !! I have tried very hard and my diabetes has improved, but I still have a ways to go. Friends and support is very important to keeping me on track. Anyone and everyone is welcome to friend me. Support and motivation is a two way street with me.
Starting weight 185
Current weight 164
First goal 160
If I can reach my first goal I want to increase my goal by 10 pounds each time.......I think I can do it....I think I can........I know I can !!0 -
Hello! My name is Leila. I work at a school and I have two boys--including my husband would be 3. Lol. It's hectic and I have a tight schedule just like all of you. I would like to work early in the morning but since I work at a school I don't have time however, I do it every time after school.

Hi all. My name is Rebecca. My 30th bday is just 2 weeks away and I had really planned on being closer to my goal by now. I started at 158, currently 154 after 6 weeks of diet and gym (very disappointing). I work full time, have 2 boys (4th grade and preschool), and I have very little time to exercise in combination with a house full of boys that love love love carbs and anything fried.
I'm trying to change what we eat as a family but right now it’s more or less their meals and a separate meal for me, which is hard.
My goal weight is 120. I'm 5'1"..... Keep up the good work everyone! I'm hoping with a group, I will be more accountable for my diet and exercise routine as I obvioulsy can't do it on my own.0 -
Hi everyone. I'm Tracy.
Ive been heavy most of my life and it affected my childhood and self esteem greatly. Called names (especially from family). Always picked last for sports at school in gym. So i did what most do...I ate for comfort.
Ive had a lot of sad and tough times in my life and this time I'm taking myself to a higher level. Dropping the weight and I want to travel, explore and experience new things.

Ive only been on MFP for a month. I understand the basics and love the food log. My family thinks I'm nuts and anal-retentive for analyzing things. But NOT reading labels and making bad food choices is what got me here in the first place.
So very glad I found this site and am surrounded with like people with the same goal in mind. To be healthy!0 -
I am V from Northeast Ohio. I am 162 lbs right now, starting weight 170 lbs. I would like to be 140 lbs. It may not sound like a lot but I have been struggling with my weight going up and down. This time I would like to be serious and make it a permanent commitment.
Let's do this!0 -
Count me in. I've been heavy as long as I can remember (and I'm 71). This past year I have lost and gained the same 5 pounds over and over and over again. Really tired of that.
Health problems? Yeah, but no excuses here.0 -
Hey everyone! I am Pooja . I am at 160 right now but would really want to get down to 140 first. Just started going to the gym regularly. Need all the motivation I can get !

Hi! My name is Kate, I am 37, and live in Iowa. I am the mother of two very active children, 11 and 21. I started my journey 4 weeks ago, and have been pretty faithful to my new lifestyle! I have tried this many many times, but this is the first time that I have successfully fit activity into my life! I am thrilled to be on this journey!
I was at my all time high weight on August 27, and that was a big wake up call for me. I would like to be at my goal weight by my 40th birthday, about 18 months away. I will do my best to remember to check-in here, but I am also looking for a few friends that are on a similar journey - and are NOT into the negative attention seeking that seems to go on around here! I am looking for people to share cheers, tips for living, and the daily ups and downs of life! So drop me a request too! Let's do this together!!

Hello, I'm Ashley, I am 18 years old and trying to get slim. I have never been a teeny tiny girl and I don't want to be, I do however want to slim down my tummy and thighs and have the cute little figure I had about 4 years ago. I used to weigh 175 pounds and I started working out at 220 pounds. That's 45 pounds! My goal is to get back to that 175 but I don't plan on stopping there! I want to be able to put on a bikini and be comfortable enough to rock it! instead of cowering in the shade with a towel over myself. I've been working out and eating better for a week now and have lost 1 pound, it isn't alot but it's a good start for me!
I would love to help anyone else and be there for support and encouragement as much as I would love to recieve it also!
We can do this everyone, we are strong people and can achieve anything we want! Believe in yourselves!!

Hi Everyone!
I want to lose at least 30 pounds. That will put me at a weight that should really help ease some of my aches and pains with my arthritic knees. I have 4 precious little grandsons who are such joy and delight that i want to remain active in their lives for many years to come. It seems I have been on a roller coaster of ups & downs with 2 pounds for the past several weeks. Trying to break that trend by changing up my activity. It is extremely encouraging for me to read your posts and help celebrate your successes!

I want to lose as much as is necessary to get into a healhier range. Ideal is 68 lbs but 40/50 lbs would be fine too, it's so far away and has been so long ago since I was there, it is still an unknown concept. I want to lose the bits that drag me down and hold me hostage, peel off this suit of armor.

I started at 265, and lost down to 207 about six years ago. then I gained back to 235-240 and stayed there until I was in the hospital for a month in April. I lost 20 lbs then and when people saw me again, their reactions were so nice to hear, I'm motivated to keep going. I thought I could just do it by "feel" but the pounds started inching up again So, I'm doing this and I bought a new fancy digital scale and a bike and a gym membership so here I go!
Hope you all have a great day! Let's eat a lot of fruit today and get outside in the fall weather for at least half an hour.0 -
I started my weightloss jorney at the end of june this year so i stepped on the scale and weighed 272lbs (19stones and 6lbs). A couple of days later my generous husband bought me a digital scale i'd been asking for so i could measure my weight more accurately. Can you believe I weighed 282lbs (20st and 2lbs) on the new scale. I was so ashamed!
Anyway no crying over spilt milk so i continued on my journey regardless of the new weight the scale had shown me.
2.5 months on I have lost just over 28lbs (2 stones) and still so motivated to carry on.
I currently weigh 253 lbs (18st 1 lbs)
I still have approx 103lbs (7st 5lbs) to lose in order to be at a reasonable weight.
I havent put a time limit it on it because for the first time in my life i am portion controlling, trying to change my eating habbits and lifestyle opposed to dieting (the quick fix i usually seek)
Good luck to everyone. I hope to see a dramatic change in myself in the next 6 months!0 -
Hi my name is Kylie I joined approx 30 odd days ago I have 37.5kgs (although weigh in is tomorrow morning so probably less now) This is approx 83 pounds. My BMI says I am obese & I need to be between 46-61 kgs to be considered healthy so having a goal at 60kgs I think is reasonable. Pre-pregnancy 10 years ago I use to go up & down between 57-62 & I use to think I was fat then boy was I wrong lol
But luckily enough I have finally found a gym that works for me & this fantastic app to guide me with nutrition. I go to gym upto 12 times a week so as long as I am eating healthy I am hopeful this will take me a year to lose this weight as I am fighting for my life protecting my asthma & give the kids full quality of care with the new me, the new energy & the new lease on life
Good luck to everyone I wish you all the very best & crave this challenge to find the hidden us that is dying to shine xoxox0 -
