Morning. I too am a day late and a dollar short.
I am excited about this group and am hopeful that we have lots of encouragement and discussions. Since giving up Facebook this site has become an addiction.
I am 51 years old and weigh 262.2 as of this morning.
I want to lose 25-30 lbs. in the next 99 days.
List of 3 do's
Must log some sort of exercise daily. If I can't get to the gym I need to take a walk.
Drink my water. Sitting at my desk during the week this is easy. Weekends kill me.
Log ALL my food. Sometimes I don't want to admit what I've eaten. You can lie to MFP but the body knows.
List of 3 don'ts
No more candy.
No more diet soda. This always leads to a candy bar or chips for some reason.
No more quitting. I'm tired of starting over.
Good luck to all of you! I won't be in a bikini (never will) but I want to lap swim as soon as the pool opens for summer. Would love to look and feel better putting a bathing suit on.0 -
Hi all
I'm Avalon or Ava for short.
I don't plan on cutting things out per say just making healthier choices. My Fiancee and I have very limited income. We eat a LOT of pasta and cheap foods. He allowed me rein over the shopping list this month and I kept it as cheap and healthy as I could. I feel good about the grocery's I bought for the month. Still a lot of pasta but I bought the whole grain kinds and bought Greek yogurt to replace most of the sour cream we use. I know it's not much but it's a start
I have personally been on his journey for about 4-5 years. It started out "easily" enough depending on who you were to ask. I am happy to share details so others may learn from my mistakes all you have to do is ask. To put it simply: Mentally abusive relationship and trying to please others before my self. I'm smarter than that now and I did end up with 50 pounds lost and kept them off for the last 4 years
However I lost my motivation when I left. I stopped exercising. I still mostly watched what I ate as best as I could. I am now looking to get back into exercising. I'm ready to finish loosing the rest of this weight!
My goals are to simply get below 200 pounds. I flux between 210 to 215 pounds. I'm tired of feeling frustrated by it and am ready to work at it. My biggest problem is motivation. I hate exercising. I don't mind using my Wii for it but after a few days I just loose interest. As soon as the snow melts I'll be going on walks through the woods allergies permitting lol! Part of my problem this winter I know was Seasonal depression. It was bitterly cold and I wasn't going to move from under my blankets for any thing! And I know with summer coming I will again began to wane once the heat gets over 65 degrees. So Spring is my time to get into a routine so that maybe by the time the hot weather gets here it won't bother me as much. Any advice or friend request are always welcome 0 -

Hi, my name is Lisa. I am hoping that this group helps motivate me. I started clean eating last July and have lost about 8 lbs. slowly. I don't always watch my calories but it seems like I am still losing weight as long as I am not eating the processed foods and sweets. It's been hard though. I feel like I need to get back on track again. I'd love to lose another 5 pounds and be my dream to lose 10. I not only want to eat for weight loss but for my overall health. I turned 50 last July. I'm hoping that I can keep healthy for a long time.0

Never wore a size bigger than a 6 back in the day.

Cutback on some sugar
Red meat only 1 time per week

Hello: I'm Patti
I have been trying to lose these last 10-12 pounds and thought I could do so without counting calories or points. I was on My fitness Pal a year or so ago but quit. I was too busy and feeling too bad about my situation (recently divorced) that I didn't want the added guilt of not tracking my food. I need to get back on track. I'm not eating really well and not exercising.
So I'm adding back in exercise (how I'm going to fit it in my schedule will be the challenge)
Need to increase my intake of water.
Three things I will cut back or out are : Cut back to three cups of coffee per day, Cut back to one 5 oz glass of wine (typically drinking 12 oz) wake up 20 minutes earlier to fit in exercise
I also need to quit the "I've got to my goal weight now I can resume eating again" mentality.0 -

Hi there! I'm a little late but I hope it's okay to join :blushing: :flowerforyou:
I'm Nen, a 21 year old girl from Germany. I'm at 58kg right now, 165 cm ( 5'5" ). I have no specific goal weight, I just want to tone up. I want to gain some muscles and it'd be ideal if I lost some more fat, but I don't want to rely on my scale too much.
I am recovering from an eating disorder (bulimia nervosa), so I am not allowed to restrict myself too much, just so that you know.
My goals are:
(non- fitness goals)
- to identify trigger foods
- to identify triggering situations
- find ways to soothe myself without food
food/fitness- goals:
- drink 2 liters per day, ideally water or tea
- not skipping any meals
- aiming for 4x exercise per week as a minimum, getting active daily (at least a small walk every day, or yoga or something else)
- start with strength training0 -
I'm late to the party but this was too good to pass up. I started a new job about 6 months ago and the lifestyle change and stress have really added on the pounds. It's absolutely the portions of what I eat more than the foods themselves. I feel like a stuffed sausage and I really hate it! I have a reunion in August and would like to feel my best!
So here is where I start
5"8"
181 lbs.
Goals...
1. Strictly limit soda intake (1 per day)
2. Eat correct portions and keep track of everything
3. Exercise 3x week.0 -
