Hello! I am doing a mix of MFP and WW. I have done WW so many times that it's just what I keep going back to. I use MFP to log my food and then use my WW calculator to convert to Points. I know it's just a mind thing, but I hate counting calories for my fruits and veggies when on WW they are "free"! LOL!

My goals right now are to lose 25 pounds by May 10 (my brother's wedding) and then I would like to lose another 20 by September 14 (that's our next Disney Vacation). The most weight I have lost in the past 13 years was 20 pounds almost 3 years ago. I was on WW. When I quit, I gained it all back plus another 10 pounds.

I have been gaining and losing the same 4 pounds for months now. I can't seem to stay motivated. I LOATHE exercise but know it's vital to losing weight. I just need to find something that I can do 5 days a week for 30 minutes. I am not about to pretend I can do anything more at this point. I also need to stop snacking and eating out so much.

We have been to Disney World 6 times and only once was a semi happy with my pictures. Every trip I say I am going to lose weight and I don't. Not sure how many more trips to Disney we have ahead of us so I would really like this trip to be special and be confident in my pictures.

It always amazes me how I can want something so bad but not do anything about it. It doesn't make sense and that's why I truly think obesity is a disease. If it was as simple as "quit eating" I think I would have been able to do it by now.

Good luck to everyone out there! I really hope this is all our time!!

My goal right now is to eat healthier and start becoming more active. I have a lot of weight to lose and I know it is going to take a while so I am just trying to do this in a way that helps me the most in the long run.

I want to lose my baby weight and get healthier for my baby's first out of the womb Disney trip We are going at the end of May...he'll be 10 months old.

I would love to loose 30 lbs by our trip in Sept!!??? that would be awesome--I am around 304 right now.

I have been doing weight watchers since June 2013 and have so far reached 20lbs gone. But then the holidays came around and I have been bouncing the same 5lbs around and wanted to get past that point. That's why I have now joined My Fitness Pal as an added way of keeping track of how I'm doing. If I go from my starting weight, my overall goal was to lose 120lbs. As of my current weight I only have 99lbs to go!!

My goal is to lose 50 pounds. On January 2, my blood work results came back slightly high, so the doctor told me to do low fat cholesterol and low fat. I decided to try MFP after my son lost 30lbs staying within 1500 calories. I am adding the treadmill during the winter, but in the summer my sister and I walk outside 2+ miles, 5 days a week. It's been a slow process, but I'm here for the long haul this time!!

I hope to lose 40-50 lbs by my WDW trip in August. My first step was getting back on track my logging my calories with myfitnesspal. My second step was joining a learn to run clinic. I'm going to go out 3x a week. Healthy eating and exercise will not only help me lose the weight, but I'll be healthier and fit.

I need accountability - I fall apart every time I stop my food journal. I finished the Tower Of Terror 10 mile in October and just let everything go... Need to lose the weight I let creep back on. Running would be easier if I lost those 15 pounds and then took off an additional 25. I want to run the Wine and Dine in November and then do Coast to Coast in 2015.

I signed up for a 5k today so I am hoping that will start the cycle of goals..

I definitely need to be more active. I have a sedentary desk job, but it can be stressful, so when I get home - after I cook dinner I am in no mood for exercise. This dreadfully cold and snowy winter does not help, I prefer to walk outside than on the treadmill. I also have to watch my sweets intake - I LOVE them unfortunately :ohwell: . Logging my food has really shown me just how much sugars I am eating. I have already gone longer with this than I usually do, logging my food becomes a hassle. I really want to keep with it this time. I turned 40 last Sept and really want to stick with a more healthy lifestyle, not just diet for an event (although our next WDW trip IS incentive )

Weight loss plans, well goal is to lost 29 more pounds then reassess things.

How? Continue to log my food because when I don't I get into trouble. This part is where I'm struggling. Since I have PCOS, Insulin Resistance & a Gluten Sensitivity, what I eat is as important as how much. (The gluten thing we only just found out about but it explains a lot) So I have some adjusting to do. *grimace* I've also discovered that in looking back, I haven't been as good as I thought I was about "eating clean". So more adjustments are in store before I can start losing again. (I'm having trouble getting my sugar cravings back under control, but I will again. Eventually.)

The current plan is to do Zumba at least 3 times a week with the treadmill & yoga thrown in. Once it warms up enough that I can walk outside, that will get mixed in with the treadmill. (I enjoy walking & seeing the sun rise but not when it's cold.) XBox One has XBox Fitness so I've been doing some of their workouts. I started working out 3 days a week & have a goal of moving that to 4 days a week eventually. Once I reach 140 or so I'll re-introduce weights to my workout routine. For me, Zumba is the core of my workout plan just because it works so many parts of my body & burns so many calories. I plan to do the Glass Slipper Challenge & Coast to Coast events for Run Disney so the treadmill & walking outside are important to that goal. Building endurance / distance & then shaving down my time so I can do a mile in under 16 minutes. I have a long term goal to do the Goofy & Dopey Challenges as well but that's down the road.

So I have some adjusting to do.

I'm late to this topic but am still going to post. I joined the group for a while, but have pretty much just been watching things. You can see my (very, very long) introduction in the DA post for an understanding of my thoughts on the MFP community - not bad, just some thoughts.

My goal at this time is to learn more about being gluten free since it's new to me and to get my body back under control. I have about 10 -15 pounds I'd like to lose, but I'm happy feeling healthy again after a medical setback over the past few years (also in my intro, so I won't repeat here).

Is anyone else GF? It's new to me and I will not lie - it's hard for me. Beyond eggs, boxed rice mac & cheese, and frozen prepared entrees, I haven't really cooked anything yet. It seems expensive (especially all those special flours) and everytime I pick something up, it seems to have gluten in it!
And forget about eating out. DH & I tried a Chinese buffet one night but everything there terrified me and I ended up eating iceberg lettuce with no dressing. Ugh. Funny thing is that I'm not at all worried about our trips to Disney b/c I have heard that eating GF there is a treat since they are so willing to help you. That's awesome!!
So, I appreciate any insight anyone can offer and feel free to add me as a friend.

My weight loss plans are: logging calories and hitting the gym. I want to lose about 10 more pounds.. and they are being very stubborn.
