    Hello! My youngest son is turning 3 this month, so I can't blame it on the baby weight anymore! One pound a week sounds do-able and would put me close to my goal weight by the end of the year...here goes nothing!

    Couldn't have said it better, "HERE I GO AGAIN". Really wanting to get to goal weight and 52lbs sounds wonderful!!! It's a new year and I'll do great until March/April and fall off the wagon and not get back on. I'm hoping that by being active on this site that I can find that extra motivation when I get burned out and tired of tracking. I've done WW, Atkins and taken almost every pill out there. I know about good foundation foods and exercise. What's going to be different this time? First, my goal is to be more active physically and mentally. I'm challenging myself to blog, post and read others blogs and posts, daily. Looking forward to getting to know you all and taking this journey 1 pound at a time:flowerforyou: !!

    I'm only looking to lose about 20 lbs but I love all of the awesome motivation in this group :) My biggest problem, also, will be keeping off those 20 lbs! Having a goal for the entire year is ideal.

    Just wondering if everyone is following the recommendations by MFP or are you following some other "plan" & if so which one? I'm not sure if this is the place to get help/suggestions for a 1200 calories/day ideas or not, I've looked for groups but haven't come across one yet. If any of you can recommend one, please let me know.

    I follow MFP. I used to do Weight Watchers. The only difference between the two are points vs calories. They are both good programs. I had to stop going to WW cuz I couldn't afford it anymore (go figure they wanted me to pay $$$) lol...

    Good luck in whatever you decide.

    Hello all.
    I have been on my weight loss journey forever. I will get close to goal then get preggers. My youngest is now 5 so I can't blame baby weight anymore. And my oldest is 18 so this has been almost a 20 year roller coaster ride of weight loss and gain. I was within 10 lbs of goal at the end of 2011. Then I herniated a disc in jan of 2012. Needless to say the past year has not been my best. I have gained back almost 20 lbs from my lowest. And I am feeling totally discouraged. I know I can do this. The idea of starting over is daunting, but having supportive friends will help.
    Thanks Lelah

    I'd love to join! I am 17.1 pounds in to my overally goal of 112 pounds to lose. I started a weight loss challenge on 10/9/12. My goal had been as follows:

    1/8/13 25 # total

    3/26/13 40# total (I am having jaw surgery on 3/27/12 and will be on soft food diet and no exercise for several weeks)

    5/19/13 50# total (I am making assumption of weight loss based on soft diet as above)

    10/9/13 (one year total time on new health plan) 100# lost

    1/1/14 goal would be to reach GOAL 112 pounds down this averages 1.75# per week.

    Honestly the less agressive 52 pounds gone in 2013 also sounds fantastic! I will shoot for this and be estatic if I end up reaching above outlined goals too!

    My name is Nicole I am a 25 and I have a sixteen month old daughter. I gained my weight gradually up to 180 pounds because I got hit by a car and kind of yo yo dieted after that between my physical therapy working I would lose weight when it worked and when it wore off I would gain it back. After I had my daughter my weight went up to 190. I lost down to 183 now and so I just need to lose the 52 pounds and I will be at my ideal weight. This group would help me a lot with that. I deal with chronic pain and treated depression even though it does creep back up once in a while. I hope to get to know you all better by doing this challenge with you this year. =)

    My name is Leslie. I'm a 44 year old mom of two girls aged 19 & 21, wife of a great guy for almost 24 years, and I work full time as a real estate secretary. Needless to say I'm not very active at work. Weight has been an issue for me since after my 2nd daughter was born. It's amazing how it creeps up on you. I've tried WW and it did work, just don't want to pay to lose weight. I like MFP and all the support on here. I had a hysterectomy in July 2011 and decided to really get serious about my health at that point. LOL, I did, for a while. Went from 220 down to 195, then back up to 220 again. I went gluten free this past summer and have found 2 things. First off, my joints don't hurt so exercise is actually enjoyable. Second, no more cravings for muffins, bread, cookies, cupcakes, etc. It has made the world of difference. This group is just what I need. Thank you for starting it and if you've read this far, thanks for listening. 52 lbs will bring me to goal of 140. Lost 27.5 so far and weigh less than I have in about 10 years.
