Hey girls!
I'm Elisabeth, I'm 24 years old and I am back on the wagon! I am 5'6", my current weight is 179.2lbs and I am going to lose about 2 pounds a week for the next four months or so, losing 30 pounds total! Who is with me?!

I'm hoping that we can keep each other accountable and inspire eachother!

Highest Weight ever: 185lbs
Current Weight (CW): 179.2lbs
Goal Weight (GW): 150lbs

I just want to feel comfortable, healthy and strong, and sexy too ; )

Who's with me?

    Hi everyone- I am 32 years old and I am looking to lose about 35 pounds, maybe more after I get through the initial 35. I am looking to get into really good shape. I don't want to be super skinny-more muscular and fit.

    Starting weight -191lbs.
    current weight-185lbs (I haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks so it might be lower than that)
    1st goal weight-150lbs
    2nd goal- no specific weight, more of just an overall toned, muscular look

    I would love some additional support from the people on MFP.

    Add me as a friend!

    I've been on and off the boards, and on and off fitness programs, for years now...my weight has been varying within 5-10 pounds. I'm 5'6" tall, 31 years old, and recently engaged! My deadlines are for engagement pics in September, dress shopping in December, and then the wedding in Fall, 2014!

    I currently weigh 195...I spent a good period in my early 20's around 175 and felt much better there, but around 160-165 is what I think is actually very fit for me--I'd be around a size 8/10 at that weight. The weight starts coming off whenever I stick to my calories, but I've been SO inconsistent, that it goes right back up.

    I've been doing a morning bootcamp workout a few times per week for a couple months now, and I'm starting to see some physical changes, but the scale is still stuck. It's all about the eating for me, I have to stick to it!

    Hi!
    I'm 22yrs old and mother of a 3yr old and 10mth old. I am ready to shed off the baby weight. I lost 30lbs after giving birth last August and have quickly begun gaining it back again. But now I am ready to do this all the way.

    I'm 25 and 5'8" looking to lose 30 pounds. It's been very slow going and I keep telling myself I'm working toward a specific date, ruin it, lose encouragement, then pick a new date and start again. I have a cruise in October and don't want to look like this on the beach. I would love to feel confident in a bathing suit again and be able to wear jeans without my muffin top hanging over! We can do this!

    Yes please add me! I'm 27 married and am a working mom to a beautiful 8 month daughter. I've lost most of my pregnancy weight, but now I wanna loose this extra weight that I gained before baby. Ugh. Its so hard trying to get workouts in when I work full time and have a baby to take care of when I get home! Any encouragement would be great :-)

    I am. I will be 62 in a month. Officially will become a senior citizen. Yikes! It has taken me almost 2 years to lose 30 pounds. I have been on here that long. Since January 1st I have exercised intensely. I did Just Dance and I am currently doing the Shred. Besides vanity, I want to lose more so I don't need a hip replacement. I am lucky if I lose 2 pounds a month.

    Hey! My name is Emma, you are free to friend me. I am a 22 year old rising College Senior and I am currently working on my fitness goals as well! I would love to lose about 20-30 pounds total to be at my ideal weight. This is my second go around using MyFitness pal as a weight loss tool and I hope it works! I definitely need inspiration/motivation at times as well as some people to keep me accountable. I am about 5’9” and currently 164 lbs. When I started college I began to really get into fitness (due to it being so accessible- the gym was across the street from my dorm!) I was at my lowest weight of about 148 but have gained some back recently due to a change in living situation (no more gym right next door) and also from studying abroad this past spring semester. I would love some inspiration and motivation!

    Highest Weight Ever: 178/179 lbs
    Current Weight: 164 lbs
    Goal Weight: 145/135 toned and healthy!
    Would love to just be more healthy, toned, and happy all around!
