in Getting Started
Hi! I started a few weeks ago at 258 and am currently at 243. I'm not totally sure what my goal should be but at 5'10", 175 seems like a good number to shoot for. I decided enough was enough of my current lifestyle so now it's on to a healthier future! I already have more energy and am looking forward to what's ahead. I'm an active logger and a firm believer in the power of encouragement and support. I could use some friends around here - feel free to add me if you could too. I'd love to make this journey with others who get it!

    Hi welcome to MFP

    I started at 252lbs and after a month I am now 240lbs. I want to get to 170lbs for my wedding in September this year. I know it will be a slow and long process however I am motivated and enjoying it at the moment so fingers crossed

    How are you getting on with your journey?

    I am constantly logging on MFP and have set my calories at 1600 however the past two weeks I have eaten 1700 cals and that seemed ok for me

    I am 5ft4 and 35 years old if that helps

    Good luck and feel free to add me

    Hey! I'm 5'10" too and right now I'm at 273. I desperately need some encouragement here too. I track daily and share my diaries, and I will be happy to add you and also to accept any friend adds from others. Great job on your loss so far, and congratulations on being motivated to continue!

    I like - love to hear how others are doing as well . . . Those who keep up with each other seem to do better as well!

    I log in here daily and I am also 5'10" and determined to reach my goal which is now which is another 67 pounds though I'm not glued to the number but rather clothes size. *lol* If I weighed 400 lbs and was in a size 8 I'd be way fine with that! (The goal is what the charts say I should weigh and that would be 153 lbs and 22 bmi)

    Here's the deal: Ten months ago I started at 268 now I'm down to just under 220. I've been working out with Wii Fit plus every morning before breakfast. Its the way I start my day. I burn off at least 455 calories daily doing so.

    My other personal initiative is to move more. The other things I've added periodically is "Get off the Couch" - I have to move it, move it, move it ... and jog during TV commercials (at least for two shows at night as added 'moving').

    Please feel free to add me (I haven't figured out how to add someone yet ... but if you like here's my email - CC_maam@yahoo.com

    Best of luck to all. In the past, have had terrible eating habits which ultimately lead to health issues, one of which is Celiac disease. This diagnosis forced me to finally take a look at the big picture of my nutritional profile. So far, I have lost 25 pounds and drastically improved my habits. Still can't shake the eating before bed habit but one step at a time. GOOD LUCK!~

    I started at 225-ish and now am around 217-ish. I want to get down to 150. So I'm not far behind you with a 75-lb weight loss goal! It's very difficult to stay motivated, but I'd be happy to try and offer help!

    I lost 83 pounds. Put 10 back on end of last year. Working it back off slowly. Exercise and eat healthy. Have you heard of Tosca Reno and Eat Clean? She has a new book out that might be good for you to check out to give you that little boost you need.
