Hi, I am trying this program. Is any one out there that has to lose the same amount or close to it and we can do it together? I have been very unhappy with my self lately and have no energy. I want to feel good about myself again. Thanks for any help.

Hi, I know the feeling! I want to lose 125 pounds and it can seem like such a distant goal. We can do this! Feel free to add me.0

I will add you both. I need all the encouragement and accountability I can get.0

I have a 100 lbs that I want to loose. I love this app and how it helps support people and everyone motivates each other on their journey. Each person is different but one thing is everyone needs encouragement along the way. I will add you! Good luck on your journey and for taking the first steps in being healthier.

I have lost about 25 so far - and when it's all said and done hope to lose another 18-20 (135 is my goal). Feel free to add me, I'm not perfect, but my diary is open and I try to be motivational. 0

Feel free to add me, the more friends the merrier! :happy: I'm usually on everyday so I can help support and motivate you!0

The biggest words of advice I can give are these:
1)Things happen and we all slip from time to time. Get back on the horse and keep going.
2)There are no small accomplishments. Ever ounce lost is that much closer to your goal.
3)You're never alone. We're all here with common goals, trials, and tribulations.0 -
I am trying to lose about 80 lbs. Down 20 so far Feel free to add me. 0

i'm definitely not the most motivational, I honestly hardly post on people's walls or comment on their status... BUT i just wanted to say you can do this. I'm down 106 in the past year. It IS POSSIBLE!!!0
-
I just joined and my goal is 86 lbs - so we're really close! I'd love some help getting and staying motivated!0

Feel free to add me, I'm about a quarter through my goal so it is possible! Still just under 100lbs to go though so lots to do!0

Hi, I felt so much like you at the end of last year! I joined on Dec. 31, with 78 pounds to lose. Goal for this year was to lose 48 of them.
Looks like I'll make it with some room to spare. So far, I've lost 42 pounds, I'm exercising every day. When I started, my size 20 pants were straining on me and I had to make sure my tops were long enough to hide the fact that the snaps kept popping open. Now I'm very comfortably in a size14. My blood pressure is down to 110/70.
you're welcome to add me.0 -
I've lost approx 40, but am looking to drop another 30ish...
I am on here every day and would love to support you!
Feel free to add me
Good luck!0 -
Hi - I've been on here for 15 months now and 58 lbs down. I have 100 to lose in total and wanted to lose it over 2 years.
Take each day as it comes and make small changes. Dont deny your favourite foods just have smaller portions and work it into your calories.
Any exercise is better than none and keep trying. If you hate it try something different.
Give yourselves small goals and targets to reach. Dont be put off by others doing better or quicker - slow and steady is the best way and its not a race.
You will have days/weeks when you fall of the wagon - just get back on here and try again (nobody is perfect).
Good luck everyone.0 -
Welcome! I started out with about 80-85 to lose (but only joined MFP 10 pounds ago.) You can do it!0

Hello there,
I am a newly RETURNING member and am totally motivated but I can always use more would love to be an inspiration to you.
I HAD 104 lbs to lose and since May 20, 13 ... I have lost 23 ... Yea i have lost this much a few times in the past BUT I have never felt this motivated and determined ... The first thing I did when I started my weight loss journey was to go online and look up how everyone else did it ... I didn't want anything fancy ( no surgeries ( no offense, because thats what I wanted for a long time) no pills, no weight watchers (that I had to pay for), just simple at home remedies ... and one day I read 62 stories and all but 4 had one thing in common ... " REMOVE PROCESSED FOODS, CONTROL PORTIONS, FIND AND THEN AVOID TRIGGER FOODS, AND GET UP AND GET MOVING" and thats what I did... Its been a little over a month and I feel great! I am addicted (once again) to working out ... I am beginning to memorize labels and calorie counts on my usual foods and I WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING ... even if its just a sample of food. Welcome aboard ... Good Luck and God Bless0 -
I joined about a month ago and have lost ten so far, but 75 to go so we are pretty similar. Feel free to add me!0
-
I joined a while ago, but I've got a fair way to go :P I've lost almost 70lb though - feel free to add me for motivation and encouragement
Good luck!0 -
I've got 60 lbs to lose (even though my ticker says otherwise, small goals by small goals are best). Feel free to add me if you wish. 0
-
128 lbs total is my goal. I have already lost 77 of this.... so I will still be around for along time Feel free to add me 0

Thanks for all your support. Once I get motivated I can do this and having you all around will help a lot. My husband and I are both trying to lose weight, but he is doing a different program. It doesn't matter what program you use as long as the weight comes off the healthy way.0

First and foremost, welcome to MFP!!!! This is not only a great site to log your food and exercise, but to communicate and share support with people who know EXACTLY what you're going through. I don't have that much to lose, but I certainly can give you support and friendship! Feel free to add me!
Good luck. You GOT this!!!

My first goal is to get rid of 60 pounds,but I'm breaking it down into smaller numbers so it doesn't feel as overwhelming. Then I'll see how I feel/look along the way I wouldn't mind if you added me I could motivate you as you motive me. DEAL? 0

I am definitely new to this site. Not new to trying to lose weight though. Unfortunately I have 130 pounds to lose, and have had that number for years now. Never really moved from that spot. I have lost 22lbs on my own, and have just gained it all back so now I am looking for help. I need a pal to talk to about losing weight and someone to keep me motivated. I have decided to try this as not many people I personally know need to lose weight at all. (I'm always the fat friend). Add me if we can help each other! 0

U can add me if u like. I have lost 80 lbs so far. I still have 20 to go. I would be more than happy to help you along your journey. 0
