in Motivation and Support
Is there a group (maybe a small, active one) of people with a little weight to lose? It's so hard to navigate the groups to find what I'm looking for! I feel like I see posts all the time for losing 5 lbs this month or 100+ to lose, but thats not where my goals are!

:drinker:

    That's about what I want to lose, or convert to muscle, not sure about any "support groups". I'm not sure why its much different from people wanting to lose more other than they may need more support?

    I have about 8 lbs to lose to reach my first goal and about 18 lbs to get to my ultimate goal weight! Feel free to add me.

    This is me, too! So glad to see this post. I struggle a bit because my calorie allotment for the days is only 1200 calories - and I'm only supposed to see less than a pound a week loss. My ticker is wrong (somehow got off track) - I've lost 2 pounds, but that took awhile. Motivation is slow when you have to wait a while for small results. Looking forward to 5/6 weeks when hopefully that loss is over 5 pounds.

    How are things going for others?

    I've lost 2lbs so far and got fifteen left to lose. My weight didnt change this past weigh in but I am due on (women stuff lol). I have noticed that I am losing inches but dont have a measuring tape. I can tell by taking photos and looking better in clothing.

    I'm in the same boat. Have been fighting to lose the last 5 lbs. for about 2 months. I'm petite and set at 1200, too. The last few weeks I've had more cheat days than I should because I've become discouraged.

    I've got 8 pounds to lose - progress is slow but i have recently upped my calorie intake to 1500 and stopped eating back excercise calories instead and seems to have given a little boost so will see how that goes. I am hoping to shed it by September.

    Hello! I would like to lose 10-15 lbs. Only 5'0 so it's a bit slow going. I have my calories set at 1200 too, I'm only supposed to lose 1/2 lb/week. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less. Seeing no changes at first is a bit discouraging, but I'll just have to wait it out I guess!

    11lbs to go! I think the last ones are the hardest. Always up for friends with similar goals, if anybody wanted to add me :)

    I have about 5 lbs to lose to get to my goal weight. 10 lbs to lose, if I am really being honest, would be awesome for bikini season, but I'm not sure my body wants to get that small :) Add me anyone on this thread!

    Count me in! I have about 6-7lbs to lose. I am really trying to get toned, more than I care about the number on the scale....which seems very challenging to me.

    I started back on here 5 weeks ago with 7lb to lose, and (despite what my ticket says - its wrong!) have since lost 4lb so only another 3lb to go.

    Anyone is free to add me! :)

    Count me in. Don't really need to lose but tone up and get strong. Been at it about 6 weeks now and it is slow going, but I am starting to see results. Yay!

    I'm struggling to loose the last 15lbs (may be more but I'll decide once I FINALLY reach the last 15)... seems this 'go' has been the longest - taken me over a year just to loose 27lbs already!!
    I've reset my macros so many times I lost count lol.. Would love to get some words of wisdom or 'extra push' from ppl in the same boat - I, too, am finding myself getting discouraged and having some 'screw this' cheating days (although not too badly , but cheating days none the less).
    I have 2wks til my wedding - and while I did have to change my dress this passed Feb for one that was a 'more fitted' choice as the original was too big - I would still love to loose another 5lbs before the big day...

    Open to being added - especially to a group!!

    I'm pretty much with you, except my loss is closer to 5 pounds.
    I am on the 1200/day allotment as well, and it's tough. I tend to eat back most of my workout calories and go over on the days I don't do cardio (only by 100-200 calories, usually). I want to lose 15 more pounds to be at 115, but I know it'll be slow work.

    I have about 15 lb left to go too. I was around 135 but then went through a rough breakup, put on 5 lbs in two days, and two months later, those 5 lbs are still stuck with me. Last time I ate this strictly (not that strict as you can see from my journal...) I got to 130 easily and 125 when my mileage was around 35 per week.

    I'd like to lose 5-10 pounds - I'm in my O.K "range", albeit on the higher end. It's like trying to lose "those last 10 pounds" forever!! I just can't seem to get it done....or if I do go down some, I pop right back up. :sad:
