Feel free to add me, looking for all the motivation to live a clean and healthy life and not just sit on the sidelines of life anymore.b

    Hi everyone.

    My name is Holly, and I'm looking to lose 130 lbs before I evaluate how much further I'd like to take my weight loss. I'm thinking that I want to weigh between 130-140 lbs.

    My highest weight has been 286 lbs. I've been trying to make slow changes so they can become permanent lifestyle improvements.

    Feel free to add me. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you on your weight loss journey.

    I'm new to the message boards, and was 310 at my highest in 2010. I had another baby in 2011 so I just recently started back up with losing weight. I am now 241 and it is slow with the exercising for me as well as I had a knee surgery gone bad experience =( I do walk and do light aerobics.

    Feel free to add me (anyone, really LOL) as I could really use some pretty heavy support. =) I would LOVE to just back down to my pre-1st baby weight (back in 1997!) of 175lbs... from their I want to go to 150 =)

    Anyone can add me too- I have to figure out how to add friends. I'm 47 and my starting weight was 268, current weight 249 and goal weight is 160ish. I started getting serious about diet on June 20th of this year and I've been adjusting and playing with different strategies to find what will work best for me long-term, concentrating on eating really healthy foods. I started getting serious about exercise on August 1 and started Power90- I'm very out of shape but making improvements faster than I would have thought and really starting to enjoy the exercise- there are things I still can't do (jumping jacks, running lunges, etc) but I don't beat myself up over it- just keep trying and one day I know I'll be able to do them. I gained this weight over the last 17 years and have tried to lose before but this time is different- I believe I have the right frame of mind this time and I've stuck with it longer than any other time. I will be successful and it helps to know that others in my situation have been successful too.

    Hi everyone. I'm Heather Rae, I just celebrated my 28th birthday, and I need to lose around 163lbs. I can't believe I let myself get this big. When I went to see a dietician and was only 1.4lbs away from 300 something snapped inside me. I cried and cried and cried. The dietician was very helpful and she was very realistic with me. She recommended sticking to 1800 calories or less for now, and limiting carbs. I'm newly returning to MFP and I need support and friemds who understand what it means to have such a long journey ahead. Any friend requests would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

    I have similar goals. I was able to lose the weight after the first pregnancy but gained 50lbs with my second! Working to lose that and more, and finally be at my goal of ~135 in roughly a year.

    Hello all!

    I am looking to lose a total of 125 pounds altogether. At my last doctor's appointment, I weighed 275 pounds. I'm 31 years old and 5'7 1/2" tall so I definitely fall in the severely obese category on the BMI chart.

    Hi everyone. I am fairly new to this website. I have turned into an avid logger at this point. I used to weigh 365 pounds two years ago. I moved to Arizona with my sister for 9 months and the heat + no money for food, ended up with me weight roughly about 275. I lost only one pant size. Recently I weighed myself and found out I had gained 20 pounds, with me weighing 294. I guess 20 pounds in a year isn't as bad as the 165 pounds I had gained in less then two years! But I am starting to run every day and eat healthy. I'm helping my little brother too. So if anyone needs some help or anything, I'd gladly help. I'm down to 186 now and I plan to keep losing. :bigsmile:

    Hi, I've only been in here a couple of weeks. I started my weight loss journey in August, after stepping on the scales and frightening myself into action. 261lb. I've had a good start, but have a long way to go. I feel better already and am looking forward to the day when I feel healthy and my ankles and knees don't hurt so much. I've also recently invested in a Fitbit, which I've found helpful and fascinating.

    I welcome any support and encouragement. Please feel free to add me as a friend.

    I weighed the most at 215 pounds. I lost 5 on my own over 6 months and then I lost 11 pounds in a month with MFP and have 50 to lose. I am out of the 200s!!! I have secured my place in Onederland! I am a very encouraging and supportive MFP. I've been taking MFP very very seriously and my hard work has paid off. I'm losing about 2 pounds a week and looking to keep it up. I would love to continue my weight loss journey with any of you as friends.

    I've lost about 121 total. Some before I started using Mfp. I still have 60 pounds to go. It's coming off soooo slow. Anyone notice the same thing after getting a bulk of the weight off?

    I would highly recommend you 'friend' people who have been where you are and are currently where you want to be as well. They can be very informative.

    Hi
    I have not posted much if at all on here before but reading this thread has inspired me.
    I am 52 live in the South West of the UK and have 2 children in their 20's who both still live at home (due to the very high cost of hosing here)
    I have suffered from Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromialga for the last 28 years and have steadily put on weight over that time due to medication and lack of mobility. I have also yo-yo dieted for all of that time.
    I joined MFP last year and did really well and lost almost 34 kg but then had several medical issues and put almost 12 kg back on again. I now need to lose at least 100lb I am expecting it to take me at least a year if not longer, I need to make changes for life NOT JUST BEING ON A DIET.
    With in the last week I have started logging my food again and trying to up my exercise which is always hard due to my disability, I can only walk slowly and going to the gym is out of the question. I am looking to find an aqua fit class but they are few and far between around here.
    I still need to lose 100lb and know it is going to take me far longer this time round.
    I am going to start blogging to record my journey both the good and the bad.
    I will use this post as my first entry .
    Take care
    Karen

    Hi all you lovely ladies :) Brand new as of today and ready to start my weight loss journey. I had originally lost 75 lbs and was in the best shape of my life. I started a new relationship about 3 years ago and started to find myself getting a bit lazy with my workouts and eating poorly. I had started putting back on some of the weight, but thought it was no biggie, i had lost 75 lbs...dropping that 30 i put back on would be nothing. Then i found out i was pregnant. I gave birth to the love of my life in April, but after a very rough pregnancy / labor, I wound up finding all the weight I originally lost. Im ready to get back on the wagon and get back to happy and healthy me. Feel free to add me! Need all the support I can get!
