hello anyone here need to lose a serious amount of weight?

I have to lose 50 lbs. just to be "overweight" instead of obese.

Iim on Day 3 259 and would like to get to 165. so a serious amount of weight to lose.
I've joined a gym and am using the treadmill Day 1 & 2 were 35minutes, today 37.

My food plan is no junk (Cake, Candy, Soda, Chips) and the hardest part no eating after dinner.

Good luck!

hello im Elizabeth:flowerforyou: , and im new to this as well, and am also on this journey to lose weight, im currently 5'7 and 250, and scared to death of going any higher, iv been fighting the weight battle badly for the last 3 years dew to some medication i was on, helped me gain 50 lb in 2 months, and i haven't been able to lose it, have been trying every thing under the sun, i even have a tread mill and elliptical that i work out on 4 days a week as well as doing some core exercises, i have been faithfully watching calories and working out for this last week and am finding i could realy use some support from friends on here to help as well, so is any one is interested please let me know and maybe we can help each other thanks.

Hi, I started two weeks ago as well, started at 239 (just had to look that up - I am more used to metric) and would like to go down to 140-145 which I haven't been for 12 years, that's one pregnancy and childbirth, one emigration, and one each of many other stressful things, ago My food plan, if any, is to find a good calorie deficit so it comes off slow but steady, and eat everything in moderation. And hopefully somehow manage to build a sustainable habit so the slimmer me can survive in daily life and around others. It's nice to have a group of friends who are in the same boat

Ok, finally discovered where the smileys are :blushing: My name is Annie by the way

This post is a reply to twinmommy. I am new to this, I must have hit the wrong button.I am also the same height as you and weight when you started, but I believe if you lose more weight now it might be unhealthy. By your picture you look great. Four years ago I weighed 136 pounds and my whole family said I looked too skinny. I wish I just weighed that now.

Wow. I'm looking at everyone's 200 numbers and saying "Man, I wish!" I'm getting there though.

I'm Jewell. 23-years-old.

I have a whopping 339 staring back at me on the scale.

I've been struggling with my weight my whole life.

I wanted to reach my goal weight before I was married. That was 7 months ago.

I'm down 4 pounds since I put on my Fitbit, bought my Aria, and started using MFP on a day-to-day basis though.

I'm looking for some supportive people to get me down at least half of what the scale reads now.

Hi all! I've also got about 100 lbs left to lose...maybe more. I'd love to have some more friends! Anyone is free to add me.

Hi, I'm Molly. I used to be good about watching what I eat and exercising but not anymore. I started on here at about 150 and lost a little weight but I haven't kept up with it and have now found myself at 177. My ultimate goal is to get to 125. I am 5'3'' and have 30 pounds to lose just to get to overweight. I am 20, in the land of southern belles, and feel like I am one of the few in my age range that doesn't have the magic young metabolism.

I love myself but I never want to get comfortable with being unhealthy. My whole family struggles with weight and even when we try to lose together we always fail. I don't enjoy being big but I find myself slowly becoming more comfortable with it. I would love to find someone on here that I can check in with everyday and vice versa. My boyfriend and family always say you look fine which is great for my self esteem but not my health. I want someone that I have to spill to when I eat too much chocolate. I want someone who can be critical (not mean) and encouraging when I fall away and that wants someone in their life to serve the same role.

Mostly I want to be proud of myself for my commitment, my health, and of course my body!

If anyone would like to hold me accountable and have me hold them accountable please add/message me!

If it makes you feel better, so do I... And I already got rid of a lil' over 50, lol.

I started two weeks ago, I've lost 4 pounds so far. started at 264, currently 260 and my final goal is 175 also. I have no set time to reach that goal, I'm taking it slow, hoping to be down 10 or 15 pounds by the end of March. When that time comes I will set a new short term goal. I joined a women's kickboxing class, which I love, to lose the weight.

I'm also 5'4". Started at 294 at 274 now. Add me.

I have about 80 pounds to lose now. I've lost about 12 pounds over the past few months. It is going too slow

Welcome back!

I've been here for 35 days now, I log in EVERY day, and try to keep my friend list rather small so I can try to interact with each one better.

I'm 6'4", and started at 415.0 lbs, and am currently at 373.0 lbs. My current goal is to make it to 370.0, and then 365.0, 360.0, so on so forth until I get to around 240 ish.

As long as you log in every day and don't live on crappy Healthy Choice boxed meals, feel free to add me (anyone).

Rob

Good luck to OP and the rest of you. I'm rooting for you all.
