Starting January 2011

I started this site last year and have only lost about 5lbs but I refuse to give up. I want the weight off for me so I’m back for a second time. I hate feeling fat & always blotted. I hate how I look & feel in my clothes. So the only person who can make any of this turnaround is me so I’m giving it another try. I to don’t like posting my weight but if I see it, I think if I see it just maybe it will help me want to make it go down. Sooooooooooooo with that I post my starting weight.

Hello, my name's Christina and I have a 15 month old son (Max), a 6 year old step son (Sebastian) and a naturally skinny husband (we'll just call him lucky b****rd). I joined in Aug 2010 and have lost 46lbs and just have about 10 to go. I'm hitting the hardest part for me which is maintaining my weight after my big drop. Over my 31 years I have fluctuated 40-50 lbs within a couple of years about 3 times. My closet has sizes from 8 to 22 (thanks Max!) and no matter how well I do, I have a nagging fear that the weight will pile back on and I'll have to go through this, AGAIN. So for 2011 I want to lose 10 lbs and not fluctuate more than a few lbs either way by EOY. Oh yeah, and I have to quit smoking too- that's like a double challenge!0

Hi Ladies.
I'm in too. I'm Claire. I joined MFP about a year ago and lost about 13lbs. I have put them all back on now :mad: The end of last year was a toughy for me with a family bereavement, illness and just general yuckiness. Excuses I know but I am back on track now
Started on Monday and my aim is to lose what I have put on and overall to get to about 140lbs. Also to get back the gym and to the exercise classes I took part in. I feel so much better when I exercise. Maybe not so much when I am doing it but afterwards I feel great! I plan this week to exercise 5 out of 7 days. So far have done 2 and have Body Attack & Body Conditioning Thursday & Friday. I'll post my weight every Monday.
Good Luck everyone

Hello! I weighed 130 in 2007, now I weigh 174. I have a 2 year old daughter, which is what caused the weight gain. I had gained 60 pounds when I was pregnant. I would love to get back down to 130, even though when I was that weight, I didn't think I was skinny, but looking back at it, I think I was skinny. I feel so self-conscious now and hate it. I'm hoping this is the year for me to go back to "normal"
Nice to meet you all!0 -
What is it about marriage? I put on about 100 lbs in the 8 years I've been married.
Maybe it's that our spouses are so willing to accept us. . . which is great, and I wouldn't trade it, but I'd love to be slender enough that my hubby "loves me for my body"! hehehe
Here's to all of us wives kicking our "hubby chubby"!0 -
LOL! hubby chubby that is great.
I am know right before our wedding I was working out and in the best shape i had ever been in, then I got lazy. Sometimes I wish my husband would have gotten on my case about it just so I did something about it before it got this far. Don't get me wrong, I love my husband and wouldn't trade him for anything and am thankful he isn't mean and hateful towards me about it. I just don't feel attractive at all and hate that for him and myself. He is in the military and is in pretty good shape so that doesn't help either. Sorry for the whine

Whoops. Hi Jmbd. I am 5ft 7ish. 0 -
Hi, I'm here just to get some more support really, I work better when I have other people to report back to. I've never been a skinny girl but I've never struggled with weight as much as I have this past 18 months (I put 46lbs on!). I started healthy eating and exercise a couple of months ago, then a chest infection an Xmas happened! I have a weigh in with my dietitian on Tuesday and am dreading it. I want to lose about 50-60lbs by mid July (only about 2lbs a week) and have never felt so determined and motivated, to do anything and I want it to stay that way, so support is very useful and helps with the emotional side as well. I know its gonna be hard work but I am excited about the challenge x0

SNAP. Im in it for the long haul this time. I lost around 30kg first time round when I started training about 3 years ago, but have managed to pop 20kg back on due to......well.....my mum's AMAZING cooking (no lie.....it really is that good) and work commitments.
But anyhows, I am getting married in June 2011 to an amazing lady so back to the old heave haul workout (need to look good for those wedding pics). Remembering how good it felt being slimmer and more active is probably the best part of my motivation to keep it up!
MFP seems a real good place so feel free to add me if you like - Look forward to getting and giving some encouragement.
A fellow chocolate Lover!

I'm looking to lose about 25 pounds ... we'll see how I look at that point. But if I can lose at least 20 I'll be back to my weight of 6 months ago!! Then I fell off the fitness wagon ... :noway: That's not gonna happen this year.

A big thank you to everyone for joining this thread, for sharing your stories, for being positive and supportive. I'm amazed and inspired by all of you!
I overate by 200 cals today, but unlike before, it was all spent on healthy food, so I haven't been stuffing on junk. This weekend I am kid free. So I plan to do a spring clean of the house, plus do the 25 min walk to and then from my high street for my optitions appointment. I'll burn off way more than 200 cals. I'll then have a fun go on my PS3 move and dance to my own bad singing with Michael Jackson and Lady GaGa. Bring on the weekend! Woo

So I'm not doing great today with calories (nothing like an innocent looking "savor size" salad to decieve you) BUT, this is day #4 with no nicotine. Not a huge accomplishment but it's a start.0

4 days without nicotine is a great accomplishment!! It takes 3 days for nicotine to get out of your body, so you are there :happy:
Keep it up!! Just get back on track with your calories tomorrow!0 -

Great to hear from you again. You're keeping so positive and active.
Well, I've been doing well this week. I've stayed near my calories, sometimes slightly under or over. I've substituted unhealthy Friday treats for healthier ones, or not so calarific ones. I don't really exercise, but just spent over an hour, mopping, hoovering and cleaning the whole house and kept it vigerous to burn those calories. I'm feeling the effects after only 6 days. Very happy!
Have a great weekend everyone 8:o)

I am in! I just got started on this site yesterday and am determined to stay focused. I think seeing my food intake onscreen every single day might be a big help.
I will post my weight after I weigh this morning.0 -

Same here.... One week on here, down 3 pounds. Logging food is one of the keys, another for me is burning 5027 calories the first 7 days. My running ticker below. Look for the post about the 51 things that burn fat... good read.0 -
Welcome staceyb_2003, noahsmama1 and runningneo122 and great job on your losses already!! :happy:0

Hi,
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I'm a first time user. Hopefully I will be as successful as some of the others on here. I have tried many of the fad diets only to go up and down like a yo-yo and by no means were they cheap. I'm tired of waisting my money, tired of being overweight and having increased health risks. I decided to join myfitnesspal in hopes that I can get and stay on track with determination and others who are in the same boat as me giving me motivation to succeed. This is the morning of day 2 for me , goals have been set and so far so good. I just hope I don't lose focus or get unmotivated once or if I plateau.
Starting weight: 188.7
Goal: lose 20lbs0 -
This is great. I have just joined and after leaving the UK to live in Egypt I now have to take on my next challenge...getting fit! I hope we can all help eachother and my first goal is -10lbs by feb 14th! I know I have a long way ahead of me as want to get 60lbs by May 2012 but I really hope it can be done!0
