I'm Jenny. I'm just getting started again. I'm a stay at home mom of 2, one of whom is only 4-months-old and exclusively breastfed. I need to lose at least 150 lbs maybe even 165-170. Short term, I'd like to lose at least 2 lbs a week or as close as I can without compromising my milk supply

Hi! I'm Sandy and I'm on a mission! My 55th class reunion will be in 2, 3, or 4 months and I want to be fit, toned, and awesome by then! It sounds stupid but, I only have a few pounds to lose but, sometimes losing 4 or 5 lbs is just as hard as losing 10 or 15.

Hi I'm Tiffinie i have 2 kids. Just had my last one 2 months ago and have about 15-20lbs I would like to lose by the end of summer. I know its not a lot but i cant seem to stay on track with eating healthy and exercising so i end up gaining more.

Hi, I'm Christina. I lost 30 pounds and then lost motivation. Now, seven months later, I am nearly back to square one. I really want to stay motivated this time.

Hi my name is Jennifer. I have been going through a lot in my life in the past five years and I need to stop making excuses and get myself right! I have been back at it for a week now and I am starting to feel a little discouraged so I decided to get on here and get some support! :-)

Hello,
I'm on this journey now for a month and I love it. I'm a mum of two boys and I have hardly anytime for myself, that's why I joined Fitstar and also Fitness pal to have a better control over my eating habits.
How about you guys?

Hi i just joined about a week ago I have 20lbs to loose in 90 days. I'm motivated and ready. I just want to get back to looking like my ole self again.

HI! My name is Angie. I joined Venus group to try to loose weight, for a calorie counter they recommended MFP. So I joined. I am 49 yrs old and have a VERY inactive lifestyle. The most workout I get is when I visit and try to keep up with my three grandchildren, other than that I get out to the grocery store or shopping. I've never been athletic and from being sedimentary and depressed for the past five years from a sudden divorce of a 28 year marriage I have like no body strength, and little motivation for exercise. I haven't taken good care of myself at all in this time frame. That needs to change, first my daughter told me I embarrass her with the way I no longer take care of myself and that I've aged (well a stressful divorce might do that to ya). I also had not been cooking or eating well at all, kind of lost the love of cooking when there is only me to cook for. My daughters husband has been a fitness trainer for a very long time, full time manager and then with his personal clients. I've cut my calories to 1000 which is what the Venus system suggested, and he insists that what I really need to do is eat healthy and walk, NOT count calories. Tried that one before - didn't work so well. But he is teaching and I am reading a lot about organic, whole foods and processed foods. I am eating so much more healthier but still cooking only alittle. I need to find good easy recipes. And get myself doing the training that came with the Venus program I bought. Truth be told I probably could of gotten all I need right here on MFP. I need encouragement on eating even healthier and not falling of my calorie count and somehow to get myself on that training program. I have trouble coming up with the right calories while meeting the protien goal and while trying not to go over the sugar and fat goals, seems it takes a lot of balancing.

I'm in my 37th day, I started at 139 and today I'm 129. I'd like to loose 20 to 25 more lbs. that puts me near my ideal weight, according to the plan I bought. So my short term goal, the next 90 days would be to loose 20 - 25 more lbs. and long term to be eating healthy and exercising, taking good care of myself and my health, and maintaining my ideal weight.

I have two more incentives, my son is having a huge wedding in the keys in Nov, which I would love to look very nice for. And I have reconnected with an old HS friend, who's attention I would love to capture, by looking, feeling great and with a whole lot more confidence.

I would like to return here to this group daily to give and receive support. Sorry so long, got carried away. Thank you so much for listening.

Hi everybody! My name is Alexis and I love sitting. It is my weakness.

My weight gain followed with me through my life up to this point. I'm 21 years old and I need to lose weight not only for the joyous times ahead of me but for the joyous times later in life.

I'm at 220 right now and I need to lose a lot of weight. My short term is to be 200 by July. My long term, to be 115-125. I have wide set hips and my chest is, to put it lightly, huge. I have no clue what I will look like by the time I reach my goals nor do I really know what would be healthy for my body type.

I'm a fun person with so much going for me. Weight is only one of them!

My name is Anastasia. I have a trip scheduled in August and would like to lose 12 lbs by then. I am trying to log in all my calories and add some walking. The winter was so tough that I still struggle to find energy to exercise more.

Hi everyone...I am 30 and a mom to 3 kiddos. The youngest one is a year old now Pre pregnancy weight was 165 and I was a size 8. I loved the way my body looked, and I am on the muscular side, so i have never looked my actual weight. I started at 232 for my second pregnancy and upon delivery I was 243. Ended up 224 after delivery and such. Had my 3rd baby and went down to 220, only to turn around and gain another 12 lbs. I found this app on my phone, and went down to 197. I have now bumped to 206, and I am finished!!! My husband just got me a gym membership and we are both going on a healthy eating, exercising binge. I hope to stay that way. My tubes are tied, and now I am ready to start this new chapter in my life. I would love to get down to 160, which is 46 lbs, but really, I want to wear a size 8 pant. And I want to be healthy. I need all the help and encouragement a person can get. And I want to be that for others as well. Good luck to you all! I know we can all do it!

Hello Everyone,
I am new to MFP. I am exciting to start this challenge. I am going to lose 12-15lbs at the end of this challenge! Good luck everyone.

Hello everyone. I'm Lisa and I'm new to MFP. I'm 40 and fabulous, except this extra weight I've been carrying around. 2 years ago I lost 35 lbs by counting calories and moderate exercise. Then I had surgery and never regained my momentum. Seems like I have this on again off again relationship with my healthy lifestyle which has shown in my weight. Time to get on and stay on! I have gained back 25 of the 35 lbs I lost, so I'm back up to 210. My goal is to get to a healthy weight where I feel good and look good and have the energy to do all that I have been created to do, probably around 150lbs. I don't expect to lose 60 lbs in 90 days, but I do expect to get myself on the right path and lose the 60 by the end of the year. Thanks for the forum of support.
