in Introduce Yourself
Hey! So I feel like this can relate to a lot of girls my age (25)...looking to lose a little bit more weight to feel good this summer!! It's going to be approaching quickly...and the last thing I want to do is feel gross again in the summer. Blah!

Looking for people similar to me - but I'm welcome to any friends!!! I lost 12lbs from July-Oct then fell off track...but I'm getting back on track now. Looking to lose 15-20lbs by the beginning of summer!!

Feel free to comment, create a group, and/or friend me!!

    Hey Stacy,

    I definitely know where you are coming from. I'm trying to get back into shape and my goal is to lose 20 more pounds. Feel free to add me. I'm new to actually using MFP eventough I have had it for a while so meeting some people on here to keep me motivated would be great.

    I've been lurking on here for a while, a co worker has motivated me to get more involved! I gained 15 lbs since my wedding last summer (how'd that happen!) and I'm trying to take it off, plus some!

    15lbs creeps up on you! I gained that after highschool...not at first then all at once! It was a rough time...but I'm losing it now. We just need to stay focused and keep doing what were doing, or even better! I feel like it's better to make small goals and keep adjusting them as you go along! I'll be happy when I lose my next 5!!!

    I can definitely relate. I'm looking to lose a good bit of weight for summer too because I do not want to have to go through another summer feeling self conscious about my weight. I want to look good lol. Anyone feel free to add me because the more support we have, the easier it will be to stay motivated!

    Hey guys,

    I'm new to this! I started yesterday and found that sticking to my reduced calories was actually a lot easier than I thought! It seems like everytime I try and lose weight I just gain and gain.. need some help and motivation! looking to lose 2 stone before summer but right now I'd be happy with 1!

    I'm not new here but I love having motivated friends as people are always dropping off... 15lbs would be ideal because it would put me right around my goal range but I know it may not happen that soon so Im hoping 10 by the time I go to the beach in june.

    All feel free to add me

    Hit the gym, step on the scales stare at the number
    You say you dropping 10 pounds, preparing for summer
    And you don't do it for the man, men never notice
    You just do it for yourself, you're the f***ing coldest

    this thread reminds me of this song^

    I've not got any friends yet =( Haha, but I am new! Feel free to add me, I'd welcome the motivation. I don't know if I can manage 15lbs by summer but I will try very hard! What are you guys counting as the 'start of summer'? I'm 5'2" and would like to lose up to 30lbs, I'm currently 143lbs.

    I'm hoping to lose 14lb myself. Although, I'll be happy just to lose half of that tbh. but I want the additional 7lb for the summer

    i normally lose 7lb for summer then gain it back through autumn and december steadily. but last year i didn't lose it and i just gained another half stone lolll.
    darn it.

    I'm new too I'd like to join...hate the thought of more summer holiday snaps hiding behind everyone else so no one can see my size! I only joined yesterday and when I filled out my food diary I couldn't belive how quickly all these calories add up! x

    Hello everyone,

    My goal is to lose 15 pounds but also to gain muscle and become lean and defined. I want to tone my body. Add me if anyone is focused to become lean and defined. I can definitely use the motivation and support from others.
    I want to look TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT! 

    if i don't get pregnant in the coming months, i would like this to be the summer of the bikini! i've never been comfortable at the beach because of my size. i'm down 23 lbs so far and have another 6 (been doing a lot of weight training to tone as i go) to go.

    i'm not the best at logging every thing every day, but i work out 4-5 times a week, intensely. always looking for more motivation.

    anyone feel free to add me.

    I like being apart of groups. However, not planning on losing any weight :-(... I do eat a lot so that may be discouraging. However, I exercise like a beast so you may get encouragement from that :-)
