    My goal is 78lbs - I'm on day 5 and would be happy for anyone to add me. I've used MFP in the past but just for calorie counting - it would be great to have some motivation from similar slimmers!

    Hi there, I am looking to lose 100+ lbs. I have started, stopped, started, stopped, tried all the different fad diets and pills and now I am just working on myself. As of December 29th I no longer drink any caffeine (bye bye Diet Cokes!!) and I have just generally started eating healthier. I love the slim-fast shakes, but I am not following a slim-fast plan, just drinking the shakes for breaksfast and occasionally at other times. Subway is the only place I will eat out at because I know what I can eat there. Family YMCA membership to work out 4 times a week or swim if I want a break. And lots of water!

    Everyone please add me! We can all use the support, whether it is 10 lbs or 200 lbs you want to lose. I post every day, try to comment alot on statuses for support and I also show my diary (good or bad).

    And one HUGE tip for the new people. READ PEOPLE'S FOOD DIARIES!!! I have gotten so many great ideas from other people, things I never even thought about. Like a healthy PB & J sandwich with Sara Lee 45 calorie bread (so yum!), sugar-free strawberry jam (again yum!) and Simply Jif. Add a salad or fruits and veggies and you can still enjoy a favorite!

    Hi there! I see some posting that you are just hoping that you can accomplish large weight loss goals. It is possible. I started at 269lbs and now am down to 188.8 as of this morning. I still have around 50lbs to go, but I'm on the "short side" now so I am sure I can do it and I am sure you can too if you put your mind to it and be dilligent, and honest, about logging. It's not always easy and some days I feel like throwing in the towel, so to speak, but I always look back on how far I have come. I try to do some form of exercise 5-6 days a week and try to stay within my calorie goal. I eat at least a portion of my exercise calories back and don't believe in denying myself things that I really enjoy, so yes... I do eat chocolate and ice cream regularly. I would be willing to offer support to anyone who is really committed to be in this for the long haul.

    hello, have about 70 to lose and on my way!!! Joined a Spinning/ weight training gym in December with husband. We do the cardo walking in the neighborhood or bike. We are both on the same page with meal planning as well. I have lost 5+ pounds already But more importantly, 2 inches from my waist!

    Let's do this!!

    Short term goal is to loss 4-5 more lbs this month and then set up a short goal for February --maybe try a Zumba Class 1x week
    Hugs TJ

    I'm in the same boat! I could stand to lose 120 pounds, but 75 or 100 would be fine. I log on everyday and will like your statues if I have nothing to say. Good luck!

    Hi! I'm a mom of 3 and need help!

    I had my last so a year ago and now know I need to knock this weight off! I have always been the "big one". A couple of years ago my mother lost a huge amount of weight. She inspired me at the time, but then, got into that slump of feeling sorry for myself! As everyone's new years resolutions is "losing weight", I am one of them and sticking to it!
    I came back to MFP on January 1st, 2014 and have been on here everyday doing my logs. My problem is that I'm an extremely picky eater and can not seem to not get over that. I have been seeing that I don't eat as many calories than I should, but see everything else going to the limit.
    Everyone has truly inspired me on here! As I read some of your stories in tears, I wish and dream for myself it has made me more stronger than I have ever been. I need lots of encouragement and friends to help me through this and to be serious as I am! Please help me through this...

    January 1st, 2014
    lbs. 227.8

    January 10th, 2014
    lbs. 222.7

    Goal: I'd love to see me at least at 160 and down, but my first huge goal is definitely under 200 lbs!!
    Thank you all and God Bless

    I've been at this awhile and have lost 50 lbs so far on MFP. I fell off the wagon and joined the many on the rise and fall of the yo yo process, I'm determined to break that cycle NOW and lose that last 50 lbs! I'm active and full of great advice! I lost a lot of my friends in my decline. I need new and positive friends!!! Add me!!!

    I need to lose another 80 or so. I'm a guy who likes to support people who make a serious effort. I need some encouragement, too.
    So far, since I adopted ANDI**, I'm doing fine but I'll bet there's a wall out there waiting for me to run into it.

    **ANDI Scoring System ANDI stands for Aggregate Nutrient Density Index.
