Thanks for sending me a friend request. My long term goal would to lose 100 lbs or more.

Hi Kelley, We live in the same area! I'm new to the group and I have 100 lbs to lose. I'm a HUGE foodie and has some issues with emotional eating. My short term goal is 30 lbs. I've lost 17 so far. Send over a friend request. I was looking for a walking partner a few times a week to walk the trails at Garfield Park.

Hey there! My long-term goal is to lose at least 100 pounds. I've already lost 60 from eating better & exercise, all while using MFP. It has taken me about 8 months to lose that weight. I started at 284. I was in the same spot as you. I was around 240 when I got pregnant & when it was over, I ended up with a baby & 40 pounds. I did lose the 40, but then I had baby #2, & I found the 40 again!! The second time, I waited until #2 was almost 18 months before I started losing the weight. And here I am.

You will find the motivation. All you have to do is look at your little one & remind yourself she'll be walking soon. Then, before you know it, she'll be running & wanting to play at the park. And keeping up & climbing on the playground equipment will be easier with less weight. Trust me, I did it at 284 & got worn out even though I wouldn't have said I was all that unhealthy.

Anyway, I work near Fountain Square & if you're ever looking for someone to walk with around lunch time, let me know. Garfield Park isn't too far away for me. Plus, when the baby is fussy, fresh air can be just the thing to calm her! :-)

Ive hit my weight loss goal and lost 110lbs. I'm now working on dropping my body fat percentage and trying not to lose any additional weight.

If I can do this you can do this!

I'm looking to lose about 150 to 175lbs. At my heaviest I was 345, so losing 175 would put me at 170 (basically half of me lol). I've dropped about 10lbs so far but am having trouble keeping motivated. I've started walking, eating healthy, and counting (some) calories.

A friend of mine in Virginia lost 108 pounds in 11 months. His before & after photos are quite impressive, He is now building muscle since he lost the weight he wanted to. What he did (and continues to do) is very awesome!

I live on the west side and my total goal is to lose about 150pounds. Once I get there I will decide if I want to stay there or lose more. Although according to most charts that would still leave me fat...it would be smaller then I have been since....well I can't remember ever being that small.

My goal is to lose at least 100lbs, maybe even more. I started watching my calorie intake and exercising back in August and I have lost 54lbs so far! It feels amazing, thats for sure. Feel free to add me.

I am a Mom to 2 - just had my baby girl in November and I'm wanting to lose 110+ pounds. I live on the Northeast side of Indianapolis. Feel free to add me

I just need to lose a half pound....200 times.

100 lbs is just over 4 ounces a day for a year.

Mamma always said, when you eat an elephant, you have to eat it one bite at a time.

It sounds so easy...why is it so hard?

Good morning and congratulations to all for beginning a healthy journey. I know I want to lose at least 80lbs - 100 lbs but I am taking it in 40lb increments. I don't want to lose too much because I have a big head and am not trying to become a real life bobble head doll! I've been there before, not a cute look for me. Lol So, I am eating soooooo much more healthy than I've ever eaten in life and working out regularly and consistantly. this group is an inspiration and I thank you all!

I am looking to lose Ideally 125 lbs. Gonna be a journey. I lost 80+ lbs a year and a half ago.....so I know its possible. Just need to keep it off this time. gonna be hard but at least we have each other!

My goal is to lose 123 lbs. I have already lost almost 75 lbs over the past few years, eating healthy and exercising. I got married 13 years ago and gained about 100lbs. I have since divorced and found that I eat healthier on my own. I have always been overwieght my entire life. Like some of the others, I am trying to set small goals to achieve. My best friend and his boyfriend are getting married in May and I'm standing up with him, so I would like to lose 30 lbs by then. Then another best friend's daughter is getting married in Florida on the beach in July and I would like to lose another 20 by then. Wish me luck!!

I am trying to lose 80-100 lbs. I have lost about 10 so far. I think once I hit 80lbs lost I will probably want to keep going but it's just going to depend on how I look and feel. I definitely don't want to be stick skinny but it would be nice to not have to buy the biggest size available at stores that I like
Most of all I am really just trying to change the way I eat and not worry so much about how much I weigh.
What is everyone doing to lose the weight? I have a hard time finding time in my day to exercise. So Im only eating about 1200 calories a day. I have cut out soda, red meat, white carbs, and sweets. So far I'm doing good but I'm worried about slipping back into old habits.
