    If there's room, add me too. I have a goal of 10 lbs now but it certainly would not hurt me to lose more. Good luck to everyone.

    I am interested in maybe joining this happy group . :) I have approx 70 lbs to lose, but a target of 25 off would be a wonderful way to really get things rolling. What's your target date?

    We can each set our own target date but I know a few of us are striving for July. That's a good healthy weight loss :)

    Sounds like a plan. I tried to cut some weight on and off over the last few years and something always seemed to come up right when I really got going. It okay to get help and I think this time Team Work will make the Dream Work. My target is a little more than 25 but if I can hit 25 then 20 more will be no problem.

    I would love to join you! I am looking to lose 30 lbs. I have always had physical issues for the past ten years. After 7 surgeries this year I finally am physically okay. How shall we do this? Do we just post every week of our results and current measurements and weight?

    It's time I introduced myself to the group. I have been on MFP off and on for a year or so. I need all the motivation/help I can get.

    I'm 62 years old. 5'2" (157cm) and do my weighing of self and food using the metric system. As of this morning, I weighed 86.3kg (189.9#). In the past 10 years, my peak weight was 95.9kg (211#) and my lightest was last week at 85.8kg (188.8#). I don't consider anything up to about 1.4kg (3#) to be of a concern as I can easily retain that much in water if I eat something salty. I am wanting to lose extra weight primarily for my long term health. I don't have a specific goal as I know a pound of muscle and a pound of fat take up vastly different volumes. I will go mostly by how I feel, how my clothes fit and what my semi-annual blood work shows. I do know that 11.4kg (25#) is very realistic for a starting goal.

    I have a big sweet tooth which is a challenge for losing weight. I do love my Coca-Cola but can't physically tolerate the Zero so I try to limit my regular Coke consumption. I do pretty good in the winter but now that the weather is warm, it will be a challenge to stay to one can/day. I can budget the calories for that.

    My other big weakness is meat! I LOVE a good steak...especially one cooked on the grill. I am getting better at choosing leaner steaks and other lean meats.

    Exercise has been hit and miss over the past few months. I plan to get back into the local gym 3 times a week...I also plan to do videos at home on the alternate days. I know better (school of hard knocks) than to go overboard and then either get too sore to move or get burned out. That was a hard learned lesson.

    Some of my exercise this time of year is yard work and gardening. I am very prone to sunburn and overheating so I have to be careful...another live-and-learn lesson for me. Yesterday I got a reasonable portion of my garden cleaned up. I stopped when my trash cart got full. I discovered that some herbs have very deep roots that also spread out all over the place!! The ONLY herb I didn't want to grow this year came back with a vengeance and that one fit the "rooty" description. It took 15 min of pulling, digging, and naughty language to get that one out. Hopefully I don't see pieces of it shooting up but I'm not holding my breath.

    I'd love to hear from others going on this 25# adventure and see what their strategies are and why they have chosen to tackle it. I believe the more we know about ourselves as individuals and as a group, the more support we can provide.

    I'm a "catruledquilter" who is owned by 3 cats. Any of you with cats know exactly what I mean...we don't own them! My current avatar is a tribute to two sweet tabby/white sisters who came into my life when they were 5 weeks old back in 1997. The one on the left, Piton, died at the end of Feb 2013 and her sister, Pixel, died at the end of Jan 2014. I currently have 3 cats...one is 13.5...she has a real catitude...and the "boys" are 2 and 2.5.
