in Introduce Yourself
hi there

I am starting tomorrow on MFP and i am aiming to lose 87lbs - my starting weight is 227lbs which is really paining to me admit :-( - but the good news is is that i came back from holidays yesterday and have nothing planned now for the coming months and the aim is to lose at a nice rate of 1lbs a week and any more is a bargain

i was trying to upload a picture of me but its taken ages to load so i will get one on asap.

please friend me and give me support

thank you

    Hi,

    I've been on now for about 3 weeks and have lost 5 lbs. My biggest challenge is wanting to lose it all over night. I have about 30 pounds to lose and could use some encouragement along the way as well. I'll try to figure out how to add you as a friend. Good luck on your journey.

    HI! Just wanted to let you know that I did basically what you are looking to do! I started at 226 and have lost over 88 pounds. Down to 138. My goal was 140. I have been in maintenance mode for a few weeks, but I have been running a lot, so I has caused me to drop a little more. It took me 51 weeks to hit my goal weight. Once I got down to the last 8-10 pounds I changed my goal from losing 1-2 pounds per week to losing 0.5 pounds per week, so it went slower for the last 2 months, but I felt it needed to. I wanted to "ease" into maintenance mode.

    Please let me know if I can be of any help or support!

    I wish you all the best! You can do this!

    I always see people cutting out food groups but don't think it's for me

    Feel free to add me as well. I started a little over a month ago and it's been sort of slow going. If only it could come off as easily as it went on!

    I too, am starting AGAIN. Regained the weight I had lost and now have 25 lbs. to take off. I'm really struggling. I'm 56 years old menopausal female and it is really hard to stop eating. tracking helps so much. if I'm almost out of calories it makes me exercise so I can at least eat my next meal. :( any help and encourage would be appreciated.

    I started at 227 also. My two year anniversary was this past April. I was doing well, had lost 37 lbs as of last summer, then my husband almost died in August. The stress of it all got to me and I gained back 15 lbs. I am now back on track and doing really well now. I have a total of about 80 lbs to loose as well. I will send you a friend request.
