    Hello,

    I joined MFP last year, but never did anything with it, until now. I have been more serious and motivated to lose this weight since January 2013. If anyone would like to add me a friend, please do.

    5' 6 3/4" and I started at 240. I'm now focusing on slooooow weight loss and lifting weights to keep more muscle while I burn off the rest of the fat.

    Hi there!

    I too am a newbie at this. I've tried numerous times but give up when I get tempted to eat something WAY out of the calorie band I am supposed to be in!
    I'll try to keep my food diary open too and am open to any suggestions you might have!

    I am currently (and have been sitting at for a REALLY long time) at 225 lbs! Hoping to lose 60 lbs total...and would LOVE it if I could get down to under 200lbs by the end of the summer!! Hopefully I'm not setting myself up for failure!

    Looking for any encouragement and friends to help along the way!

    Lyndsey:smile:

    Hey Guys,
    I am so happy to be here. I recently started back on my diet exercise regime. I am 241 pounds as of last nights weigh in. Started in May at 256. I am doing ok but I have trouble staying a float when it comes to working out. I would be happy to give support and insight. I lost a total of 60 pounds last summer. By being consistent working out and eating clean sounds over rated but its the truth that method does work.

    When I started my weight loss program, back in August 2012, I weighed in at 285 pounds. I am now 228 pounds. :) I am 5'4" and my goal weight is 130. I hope to achieve this by next year June 2014! I also use Fitbit in conjuction with MyFitnessPal. I love them both!

    I recently ordered FitBit Flex and BodyMedia Link to try (and return the one I dont like). Flex is on back order but the Link came already. I have had it on for 2 days now and am liking it so far. I just wish it wasnt so big and noticable on my upper arm. Which FitBit do you have? And what are some Pros & Cons you can offer me?

    I'm 5'4" and don't know my exact weight when I started. I know the scale hit at least 165. I started out by eating only half my meals at restaurants, since eating full restaurant meals with my then new bf is how I'd gained the weight that was making my clothes not fit. I was probably about 145 when I started MFP. I'm now down to 204 and very excited that ONEderland is in sight...love when the 5 week estimate is under 200!!

    I watch what I eat, do lots of cardio and lift what I think is heavy at least every 2 days. I do the most I can lift for 6-8 reps. I use machines for my lifting. I'm almost over a shoulder injury that limited my lifting since last Fall. On off days, I try to do something active like sports or heavy cleaning. My apt. is a disaster due to my pack rat habits, so there's a lot of cleaning to do!

    I am 5'5

    My heaviest was In 2008 I weighed 337.5

    I am so determined to get under 200 pounds it is unreal.

    For the moment I will SETTLE for 199.9 just so I can say FINALLY....

    After that about 170-175.

    I feel the same way! I think my ultimate goal weight is somewhere between 180-199 but I have not seen 199 since I was 12 or 13 yrs old hehe

    (My heaviest was around 300 in 2008, now 235)

    Hi Naina,

    I'm Deanna. I want to loose 50-60lbs. I weigh a little over 200 lbs. I started in Jan. and lost 13lb pretty easily. Then in early March I tore a ligament in my foot and let job stress get to me. I put it all back on. I'm starting back again. Before I didn't have a "pal" or anything. I am private about my weight and weight loss attempts. Generally, I don't want to jinx it or draw attention to my weight. I don't want to join a group but would be loyal to one "weight loss pal".

    Deanna
