    Hi All,

    I am in the same place. I started this journey May 6 to loose weight. I have changed my bad eating habits slowly but sure. No more beef but turkey, egg whites in mornings, trying wheat pasta and breads, no sodas right now and just slowly trying new recipes. So far its been good.

    I am 5.5, want to loose 80lbs in all, I have lost 13lbs since May 6 and I am feeling so much better.
    I work out daily if can at 5am with cardio and some mucsle building.

    Please keep praying for me and motivating me as I will do the same. I want to be down 60lbs by my 40th birthday FEB10.

    HI there. I weight 231.8 and I am 5'9". I would love to lose 80 lbs. I am an active 65 year old. I want to lose weight to feel better and also I will have a new grand baby in about 5 weeks. I just get depressed or stressed and I eat. I am not hungry. I have tried this program before and have obviously failed. I will start again tomorrow. I wish you luck. You can to it!

    I started last year at 296 pounds. I'm now 186. It has been a long, hard journey. If you would like motivation and support, well, look me up. I'm still pushin' away at getting rid of the last 30 pounds. Diet, exercise and getting sleep at night are so key to doing well. I hope you do well on YOUR journey! I'm giving you props for getting on MFP. It's a great place for support and motivation. ;o)

    I'm 5'7 and weigh in at 235.... I have several mini goals, but ultimately want to lose 65 and review from there if I want to go another 10. I used to be 160 and was very fit and happy there, but I'm focusing more on health and clothes fit etc than a magic number. I'm on daily and enjoy both being motivating and being motivated! Feel free to add me.

    Hello!

    Feel free to add me. I was over 220 (too flabbergasted to log the actual number) back in April. I decided to turn to a more natural and healthy life and focus on this instead of keeping my focus solely on losing weight. I'm now down over 21 lbs. I'm not perfect and it's been steady but not rapid. The most important factor should be your health. It's easy to get into a trap of feeling like you need to go "biggest loser." Don't stress over the number of lbs lost as that will come when you choose to live healthy.
