    Hi I'm also wanting to lose 50 pounds as my first goal as well. I'm only a few days new to this site but started my journey on January 21 and today I'm down 21 pounds so far. My main reasons for starting is because I want to be healthy, look and feel good as well.

    You can do it and just know that everyday that you make it through is a success in itself.
    Good luck :smile:

    Hi, MsShawnieJ

    I want to get to a healthy weight for my 5'9 height and large frame. So ideally I want to get around 175lbs on the long run. Although I want to see a big difference by my bday in August, I want to take this as a long-term project. By October 2013 I was 275lbs. In November I had a doctor's appointment and found out I have high blood pressure, for which I'm taking medication (I don't like the idea of taking meds AT ALL). For a 25y/o guy that's kind of a HUGE wake up call but as told by my doctor there is a high chance that because of my age I might be able to reverse it and stop medication, if I lose enough weight to be in a healthier state.

    Before getting MyFitnessPal and tracking my food intake and exercise routine I had lost around 15lbs; since I've been using it I've lost 10lbs more.

    I've decided to be more active in MyFitnessPal community so I can keep motivated and avoid pausing exercising for an entire week, as has happened before. hehehe

    Hello, I think it is awesome that you want to lose weight. I have about 70 pounds to lose. I am 53 and have decided I just do not want to be fat anymore. I try to stay at 1200 calories sometimes I go up to 1400 but I will keep this in control. Week 1 so far I have lost about 5 pounds but I know this is not typical 2 pounds is what I should aim for and it is healthier.

    You are only 30 so it will be easier for you and you might as well do this now because other wise you will get to the month that you had your goal for weight loss and be disappointed with yourself. Stay strong and know that others are in the same struggle. persevere!

    Feel free to add me i'm looking at loosing around another 90 pound. I started on the 1st Jan this year, I go to the gym 3/4 times a week doing cardio and weights. I was fed up with being the fattest person in the room and I was a stroke/heart attack waiting to happen. Good luck on your journey x

    I am new to MFP. My first week - I thought I wasn't going to do anything differently except log what I ate. WHAT AN EYEOPENER! It wasn't the amount I was eating - but the amount of calories in those foods. I am learning to make healthier portions. Big goals scare me - so my goal is to lose 10 lbs - at least 10 times! My first grandchild is due in July. I am too young to sit and watch him play - I want to get down and play with him. I pray blessings on us all. I know this time - with God's help - I am gonna lose that fat girl forever!
