in Introduce Yourself
This is my first post on here. Not really sure how it all works but giving it a try!

I've been logging my meals and fitness for about a month but now need some friends to see my diary and give me suggestions or tell me if I'm doing anything wrong.

I weigh low 140's and would like to lose 10 pounds. Looking for others who are in the same boat!

Let's encourage each other!
Thanks, Michelle

    I've been on and off of here but I am also in the low 140's and really want to lose those 10 stubborn pounds. Just started the 30 day shred today and the 30 day squat challenge. I'll add you, OP :)

    I eat pretty clean already but I'm going to try to cut out wheat, sugar, and dairy as much as possible. I noticed that the last 2 weeks - since I started having yogurt regulary (greek w stevia) I'm having a tough time. Going to be realistic...can't be perfect but 1 day down and 29 to...I can survive anything for 29 more days....right?! :wink:

    We got this!

    Hi I feel your pain. Trying to get from 202 to 190 ...it's been a bit of a grind. But be patient get your exercise in and stay on track with MFP and you'll see results.

    I'm trying to lose at least ten more pounds! I'm 135 right now, and I really want to get down to at least 120-125 by the end of summer.

    Hi, I'm new too. I need to lose quite a bit more than you. I weighed in at the doctor's on Wednesday & the scale read 218. I can't believe I've allowed myself to get this big. I'm actually ashamed of myself. I want to lose possibly 30-40 pounds. Best of luck to you & any suggestion's you may have for me would be greatly appreciated!

    I do !
    I'm new here and trying to figure out all that MFP can do. I think the last 10 pounds are the most stubborn!! I currently weigh 141 but want to weigh 130. It seems like I go 1 step forward and 2 steps back trying to find the right combo between food, exercise and staying motivated. Lets work together:happy

    Any sugesstions or advice is welcome.

    Nutrition and exercise TOGETHER are the key, also you may have to shake things up in either or both categories if you're at a plateau. Eliminate a routine and non-essential food, try a different exercise and if you're not doing some kind of resistance training, add it--muscle not only makes you healthier, (and arguably better looking), it burns calories. I'm 6'2" with a small frame and about to get back into the 160s that I haven't seen in decades, yep, I'm old too. That last ten pounds is soon to be out of here for me and you can do it, too!

    I'm in a similar boat! I just joined today to see if mfp can help me kick my butt into shape and stay honest. I'm at 128.5, have lost about 14 lbs, but the last 5, for me, are killer. Especially since I know I need to incorporate exercise- that last 5 lbs won't do much for my appearance or health unless I'm toning up and getting into better shape!

    Good luck on your journey, keep motivated! WE CAN DO THIS.

    I'm down to the last 15lbs or so, but I think it's going to be a slog. Started at 245, now at 210, but would like to get to about 195.

    Still, I'm not in any rush, it's more a lifestyle thing, right?

    Feel free to friend me!

    I am at 143 pounds and I need to get to at least 125 pounds. I lost about 130 pounds two years ago and since then my weight has been more or less consistent. Would love to join you.

    Hi.. I just started today. I think I have about the same to lose..im working on kilos...im now 63 i think, which is way too much for me. I really need to get down to about 58kilos to start and ideally then 55kilos. It is so so hard to cut out wine!!! :drinker:

    I'm not new but I the 10 lbs I have been trying to manipulate into muscle aren't very cooperative...so hey, it's only been a year since I've been begging the fat gods to ditch these last 10, why not another lol. I'm open for suggestions.

    We seem to be in exactly the same situation...I'm low 140s too and have about 10 to go...Lost 17 so far but have been stuck going up and down now for about 6 months....

    I've been doing too much cheating...so last week decided to give it one last big push....just one meal off per week now and I'm doing the 5:2 diet which really seems to be working....add me if you want some support... :-)
