in Getting Started
Hey! My name is Maria and I am currently 197 pounds, 5'6" and 19 years old!
My goal is to lose 60 pounds by next year. I've been counting calories strictly and adding in more healthy foods! (yes I eat junk but its always in my calorie goal)
I work at a gym and workout 3-5 days a week :)

Anyone else in a similar boat that would like to be friends with me? I need motivation guys!

I NEED my goal body! I see people like Miley Cyrus and go cray-cray, lol. And I figured friends that are active and similar to me in age/goals would help! :)

    I'm 18. With about 60+ left to lose. Pretty much the same. Just counting calories and adding in more "healthy" things, still with a lot of junk.

    Hey, whatever works :) I've noticed as long as you're in your goal, you will lose. Progress is still progress!

    I have cosplayed Sebastian from Black Butler, Sora From Kingdom Hearts II, Terezi from Homestuck, and I am working on my Sailor moon cosplay for an upcoming convention. I plan on cosplaying more reveling characters as soon as my gut is gone heh heh.
    like... Shura from Ao no exorcist and Angewoman from Digimon

    I'm in college now but my diet throughout highschool was chips and pizza which gained me 40 extra pounds, bordering on overweight. Since the beginning of the semester in May I have lost the 40 pounds, now with a BMI of 20 for being 6'3" and 160lb.

    Hey,

    I am 22, 5'5'' tall, and weigh 185. I am working on a short term goal to lose 25lbs, but obviously, 60 would be ideal in the long run. I log in almost every day, and try to be as supportive as possible to my group of fitnesspal friends. Please feel free to add me. I am trying to build a new support group of people who won't give up.

    I'm 22 and I have about 40lbs to lose, so... Kinda close haha.
    But I'm fairly active! I hit the gym for about an hour a day, and I maintain 18 credit hours at my University.

    Also, I once had the body to cosplay the most revealing characters and I would love to have that confidence back :)
    Feel free to add. :)

    Hey all!

    I'm 22, 5'3" tall, and weigh 193lbs. I'm looking to lose at LEAST 40 pounds, but it would be great to lose 50 or 60. I log in every day, as it realllly helps me count my calories and exercise. I've been going to the gym about 3 times a week for about 20 minutes. But I'm hoping to slowly increase how often and how long I'm at the gym. I don't have any friends on MFP, but I would love to! Feel free to add me and I'll add back! I would love the support and I will encourage right back! :)

    If you're losing 60lbs, it looks like your goal weight is 135ish? Same (I'm about the same height, too). I'm not at the same starting point as you, but I must say that your goal weight seems good :D (I see a lot of people either too high (barely within healthy range) or too low (bordering underweight). I was 130-135, and it works for 5'6" very very well - well, in my experience). So your goal seems reasonable, and I'm sure you can get there!

    I'm 24 years old and 5'6. Looks like we have around the same weight to lose. Since January I'm down over 28 pounds. Slow loss but at least keeping it off.

    I'm 20 and happy to give you any advice or motivation.
    But just a word of warning, make sure to be aware of your body type. You look naturally curvy, so once you reach your weight goal you could end up looking like Scarlett Jo. instead of Miley Cyrus simply cause of your body's structure.
    Hate to be cliche and corny but just aim to be the best and healthiest you.

    Hi everyone. I'm 22 years old. I started at 214 lbs and 5'8". Aiming to get to 160lbs (which would be -54lbs) but may re-evaluate that goal weight once I get closer. During the first two and a half weeks, meeting calorie goals hasn't been too tough for me. I find that I've enjoyed cooking more and also try to shake it up with a few additional calories anyway to aim for somewhere between 1.5lbs and 2lbs per week. I love Pinterest recipes! I plan to work on working to cut some sugar and all, but am taking changes a little at a time. I am struggling to find motivation to workout consistently though, so that's an area I really want to work harder at in the future. Since I'm new, I'd love to add some support and support you all too. Feel free to add me!

    I'm 23 and possibly the only guy in this thread...? Anyway, I've gradually gained weight throughout college and now that I'm starting grad school, I'm motivated to exercise and eat better (when I'm not studying). I'm 6'3" and started out at 330, and my goal for now is to get down to 200. Feel free to add me, it's always easier to stay on track when you have people watching!
