    Lets do this!!

    Today: 182 lbs

    I've ramped up my exercise so I'm hoping that will help a lot and make things a bit easier.

    Hi everyone,

    Hope you don't mind me joining you guys, I quite like the idea of a weigh-in and then posting it out there...

    I'm over in the sunny UK (it's not really as we are having a wet start yet again to our so called summer!!!) and I have two boys that I would very much like to see and be around when I'm in my eighty's and if I don't do anything now, I doubt I will be around before something gives up on my body and tries to kill me due to my unhealthy weight...

    OK so lets get the basics out of the way first.

    Age: 47 (male)
    Height: 6ft.3in
    Weight: 265lbs (18st.13)
    BMI: 33.12
    Body Fat: 25.86%

    My goal is to get to 238lbs (17st) that will still place me in the overweight category, but as I have never been lower than that weight even when I was young and healthy I would wait and see how things look.

    So here we go, Day ONE.

    James...

    P.s. Feel free to friend me on MFP... seeing other people updating their exercise and diaries will help me stay on track!!

    And apologies for the nauseating photo - I find it helpful and amusing at the same time :):)

    Good morning everyone! I am new to mfp and am looking to lose 70 pounds. This challenge sounds perfect for me. The goal of losing 2 pounds every Tuesday is great! Looking forward to getting to know all of you, and taking this journey together. My starting weight for this Tuesday is 221.

    HI, everybody! I LOVE the idea of this group and the short-term, focused goal. I'm halfway through losing the weight I would like to. Ive been at basically the same weight for many months now, not kicking it up enough to get to losing again. This feels like it could be the answer. :)

    SW=195.0
    GW next Tue=193.0

    Hello! I am in the UK and my weigh-ins are Wednesday mornings, which I think is still Tuesday in the US so hope it's OK if I post then! I want to lose about 35 pounds before and need motivation to do this healthily, steadily and with the right choices.
    See you tomorrow!

    I am new to this group and am excited to get started. I have been so called dieting since the first of the year. Did weight watchers, lost 12 pounds, lost my motivation and then gained 7 pound of my 12 back. Someone told me about MFP and I have been doing for about a month, but not faithfully. So here is my starting weight. 251.4, so hopfully by next tuesday I will be at 249.4.

    Welcome new members! I'm excited to see so many people wanting to do this :)

    KP556 - I know what you mean about being addicted to the scale - but it's a slippery slope. I'm going to try to put the scale away and only bring it out on Tuesdays.

    Yeah, I love getting on that one too..but as long as it shows me what i want to see, the number going DOWN:grumble: I weight my self about twice a week and I always keep in mind that if it went up, it's water retention or food waste. I blame it on those only if I've been a good girl, because we know what being naughty means..:grumble: :laugh:
    I do tend to start weighing more when the scale has been moving very slooooowly ....
