I want to lose this weight by summer to have different options for clothes in the summer instead of trying to find clothes that fit or hide my fat.

I plan on eating less than 1500 calories a day and burning at least 7-800 calories at workouts each day.

hi i would love to jump in on this as one of my current mini goals!
i am life1979_24
sw on 1/1//11 was 269.2
sw on 7/1/11 is 219
cw on 1/9/11 is 261.5
i want to lose 50# as part of regaining control and accountability for my life
my eating plans are daily food log trying to eat more. i like to eat only once a day and this is very wrong. yay mfp
for exercise i am adding in slowly for now simple just move and add up to using my eliptical, roman chair, and dvds stop using were i live as an excuse not to swim or run. i can find somewhere to do that if i try.

lilfarm - don't lose heart Your 45 minutes every morning will be doing you the world of good and helping you build muscle. Your body will remember what it's doing and drop another few pounds for you before too long! I wish I could be as motivated as you in the mornings - I must make an effort!

Hi, I would like to join too if I am still on time. Today is my first day exercising myself and I would like to have and give motivation.

Starting Weight & Height: 214.5lbs - 5.9feet

Goal by July 1st, 2011: 160lbs

Why do you want to lose 50+ pounds?: I think I never had my right weight, and I'm tired of hating what I see in the mirror; it's time for me to do something and stop complaining.

What are your eating and exercise plans to lose 50+ pounds?: I'm having 1220 calories per day and exercising 1 hour - 1 1/2 hour six days per week.

Hi, :happy:

My screen name is sonybalony, (Sonia)

My start weight on 1/1/11 was 232

I am 65" tall

Goal for July 1st is 180

I want to lose 50+ because I hate feeling winded all the time, and I need to make some changes. I have gone to Boy Scout camp with my youngest son the last couple years and have found it getting harder and harder. My daddy died in April just before his 70th birthday. His and my momma's quality of life have been a huge issue for them for almost a decade. They couldn't go anywhere, do anything, and I realized that I want to be around a lifetime for my kiddos, a lifetime we can all enjoy. I talked to my momma today and she is very excited for me. She even asked my brother to get her recumbent bike out of the garage. I hope my motivation will encourage her as well.

My plan for losing 50+ is to eat less than 1800 a day (I was eating ALOT more than that unawares) and have already lost a few sticking to this calorie range. Also, cardio 30 minutes every day and strength training 4 days a week for about 90 minutes. I started out doing 30 minutes at 2.5mph and a max incline of 5 and had to slow down, I could barely breathe and required my inhaler. Today I did 35 minutes at 3mph with a max incline of 8 and finished, red and sweaty but breathing!!! ;-)

I am really looking forward to having extra encouragement during those trying times! I just joined MFP this week, weighing in at at 229.

weigh in 187

Anybody know where we can find the chart that Stephanie said she would so kindly be making? I wasn't sure if I missed it in the pages, if its in a different thread, or if it just hasn't made its way up yet. I am a competitive person so seeing how I did compared to everyone else will really help motivate me, thus the question.

Thanks again to Stephanie for starting this group!

bump;; don't wanna miss the chart!! Love to see everyone's progress! :]
