Accountability Friends Needed -females with 50+lbs to lose

Hello
My name is Rasheena. I am 350 pounds and 5'10". My grandfather had me in tears because he is so worried about my health and weight. I don't know how to lose it. I have tried different things, but I never see results and now I have stopped trying as hard. I have Zumba and I do enjoy it, but I always stop and I don't know why. I'm sure I'm not the only one with these issues. I would like to lose 100 pounds and be back to 250 again. From there, I would like to go down another 30 pounds , 100 pounds is my first goal. I really need help and definitely from people who have been where I am. PLEASE HELP.

I registered for MFP over a year ago and FELL completely off the train :laugh: Now I am back at it & more determined than EVER! . I need to lose over 100lbs to get to my goal weight so I need all the support I can get.

i'm here if you need to chat! you can do It!!!!

Hello, if you want to add me as a friend you can. I find doing fun things helps. I recently began running but you can start with little things, Jog down the street 3 houses and back, or squat while you vacuum. evey little bit counts. Don't forget a cheat meal once in a while! I'd love to watch you get to your goal!

I'm 33, 5'5ish, & started out with just under 60lbs to lose. So far I've lost 28lbs, but I'm at a plateau that needs to be broken. I'm looking for friends who won't mind me ranting about my frustrations and in return I'll do the same for you :flowerforyou: Looking for friends who won't sugar coat their opinions when I'm obviously slacking and not doing what I need to do (My husband does that enough..lol)

Me! 31 with 27 to lose to hit goal #1, and another 25 after that for #2!

I'm 26 with approx 75lbs to lose. I lost 46lbs in the last year (actually took 3 months to lose it) but life happens and I just need supportive women or men that are on the same journey. Feel free to add me.

I'd love support! I'm 30 and have 47 pounds to lose to get to my first goal weight and then I want to lose an additional 15. I don't know why I break it down like that....for some reason saying that I want to lose 62 pounds is too daunting for me?

I'm really good at sticking to my exercise program....my problem is with my diet.

Feel free to add me as a friend!

I am new to the site, and I am really excited to get started! I am 42 years old, and I want to lose between 50 to 65 lbs. It would be great to have some support.

I have about 100 pounds to lose and I need all the friends and support I could get! I've struggled with weight my whole life and I've been thin before in the past...TWICE...and to go from my goal weight to overweight two times is so depressing. I'd love to chat with anyone and hopefully we can support each other in the process. Can't wait to be in one-der-land again!!!!

Hey everyone! I have about 110 lbs left to lose - add me! I am 30 with 2 small kids and I just wanna be able to be more active with them - and be totally hotter for my husband, who doesn't care what I look like LOL.

I have about 50-60 pound to lose yet!! Feel free to add me!! The support is wonderful!!

Hi everyone! I'm 28 years old. I've lost 28 pounds so far and have 57 more to go to get to my goal weight that I'd like to hit around spring of 2015. Feel free to add me, I don't have many active friends on here so some motivation and accountability would be great!

Hello Iowa,
I am from Iowa but live in TN now. Between 1997-2000, I lost 75 pounds. A much needed weight loss because I am only 5'4". I moved to TN and 7 years later I gained it all back and then some. I got serious last summer, July 2013 and documented all my food into MFP. By Feb. I had lost 25 lbs. I wasn't using MFP anymore but was maintaining my weight and this was without exercising (bad hip). In May, I gained 3 pounds. It was time to get back on track.
Like you, I want to have another 30 lbs off by May 2015. I have come to realize that years of yo-yo dieting and fads are not the answer. It has to be a lifestyle change. Losing weight is 90% diet (the foods and quantities of what you eat) and 10% exercise.
The weight is coming off slowly and it looks like you are willing to do the same,wonderful, take it slow. I have not felt deprived of anything and now, almost a year later, I make much better decisions. A kiddie-cup of TCBY vs the waffle cone; order one dessert and share it; a salad with nearly every meal. I drank my glass of red wine with a half of bag of microwaved light popcorn almost every night. I saved calories for it because it was my comfort snack.
I am 46 years old. I injured my hip 4 years ago during a 5k and did not seek treatment until I had done irreparable damage to it. I can no longer run but I have discovered this summer that biking does not aggravate it and I get a lot more calorie burn for the time.
Another 30lbs will put me at 160; Still over weight for my height but I no longer feel the need to compete with the "skinny" ladies and try to focus on the health benefits so I can enjoy my life and my grandchildren.
To you Iowa, I wish you the best of luck. I am here to encourage you if you want it and to any one else that reads this.
No gimmicks, no diet pills, no special packaged foods. (They are tempting but this has worked.)
Healthy eating and enjoying life. KC

Hi! I still have 55 lbs more to lose. So I'll be here to support you! Request sent
