Hi. It is nice to meet you.

Hi,
I'm Mini, I lost 40lb a just over a year ago, put 6lb of it back on, but really want to lose the rest of my excess weight. I have 40lbs to go.

Two weeks ago I bought a fitbit, and joined MFP. I have consistently been under calories (except one day) but have not lost weight yet. Just decided to up my minimum steps to 15,000 daily and stairs to 15 flights. and cut down my calories a little. I assume my life is a little too sedentary for me to lose.

Good luck to all who join this group!

Hi All!
I started my lifestyle change last year, had a lot of foot pain in the fall and quit, gained it all back over the winter. Got some new shoes and a gym membership in February and have since lost 31 pounds! I have at least 20 to go to be in the healthy BMI range, but am actually shooting for another 35 or so to put me solidly into the healthy range instead of teetering on the edge of it. Hopefully that's close enough to 40 to join this group

I had a goal to lose 40 by July. I may make it by the end of July but I am taking it much easier than I was when I first started at the gym. I injured my knee, and have been seeing a physical therapist, who keeps reiterating I need to slow down. I am sticking to my food plan though, with planned binge meals. Surprisingly, those binges of food I used to eat all the time now result (often) in my feeling physically ill afterwards. So I use that as a measuring post and reminder so I don't go back to fatty, carb-filled foods for my daily intake again.

Hello everyone! I am nearing 30 years old (this month) and have about 40 pounds to lose. I have a heart condition which makes me unable to run, but I'm trying to figure out ways to exercise without causing any health problems. I'm going to walk at least 3 times a week if not more than that. I just want to be healthy! I need encouragement!! :-)

Hi everyone. This is my first time being in a group. About 5 yrs ago I decided to get back in shape. I had no idea what I weighed since I didn't own a scale & had not seen a Dr in over 20 yrs. I went to the Dr for a work related physical & I was shocked that I weighed 220 lbs. I am 6'1" and weighed this much as a football player but I was not muscular. I lost 40 lbs but gained 20 back last year. Since January I have lost 17 lbs and would like to lose at least 10 more. The last 10 seem to be the most difficult. I like my sweets so I am trying to increase my exercise so I can keep my ice cream habit. I am running about 9 miles a day but weight is slowly (too slowly) going down. Any advice? I find this app crucial to losing weight (also running with my dog is great too).

Hello everyone! I am 41 years old and need to lose 50 pounds. I have started using MFP to keep track of everything I am eating. I am also on Week 5 of the C25K running program. I am so proud of the fact that I can now jog 10 minutes without stopping! (Huge for me.) Anyway, I joined this group to help me stay motivated. Feel free to add me as a friend also. It certainly helps to know I'm not the only one trying to become healthier

Hey all - I need to lose 40 to 50 lbs and just started using MFP....please feel free to friend me always looking for buddies to keep me motivated

hello friends. I need to lose around 72 lbs and would love to have friends to help me down this long road. I was first on MFP in 2012 and went from 220 to 185 and know I am back up t0 192 I am so scared that Im going back up to 220. which I don't want to do. Its not 40 or 50 lbs but I was thinking if my new friends lose 40 or 50 lbs then my goal will be close in hand. Please feel free to add me

Hi I am DeShone and new to this site, actually I am new to this whole online fitness program. I definitely have 40-50 lbs to lose. I want to lose the first 50 and then work on the next 50. I am going to need all the support I can get. Had started walking the middle of May, but have had to stop for a while (under doctors orders) my knees didn't like it at all. But I am determine to do this. Last night I actually tried and made it through the "Jillian Michaels - 30 day Shred - Level 1" . I actually adjusted the cardio part to compensate for my bad knees. I ACTUALLY FINISHED THE FULL 30 MINS (free on youtube). Let's do this together, we can, yes we can. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!! :flowerforyou:
