Hi! Yep, I have 80 to lose. Just started this week. I was sing another free site, but with all of the ads they put on there now, it was jamming my computer. I found this site yesterday. I love it! Fast, easy to use, easy to customize it. This should help. Glad to meet you!

I've lost 75 lbs but I did have a lot to lose from the beginning. If you hit a plateau just encourage yourself to try harder. If I am stuck at the same pound for a week, I exercise more.0

I need to lose at least 60 lbs. I have used this lovely tool before and lost 35 lbs . Stress happened and I gained back 15. I can't afford to gain weight. At present I am 5'5 and 234. I know this works and works well with each other helping and motivating each other. Feel free to friend me. I am supportive and intend to be on this site quite frequently.0

Hi,

Hi! Im 31 and trying to lose at least 46 lbs (that would put me at 135 - im only 5'3") . Such a struggle but we all can do it! Im just starting again as of yesterday0

I have nearly 70lbs to lose seems like I can never achieve that much but really feel ready now to do this in a safe and healthy way.
I know the feeling. I have 77 more to loose and somehow it seems like it will just be impossible (and it may, my goal may be too low for my age but I will make that evaluation when I am closer) I have lost 3 pounds which is a great start but that is it - just a start. I need to stick with it0 -

Starting Weight around 310 Pounds.. Down to 290ish now after 6 weeks of healthy eating and moderate exercise.. Any tips/insight on my diary would be appreciated.. I try to underestimate the exercise by 50%....

Hi, I am trying this again. I really need to lose about 100lbs. It's beyond depressing. I am the largest I have ever been. My daughter is getting married in January and I would really like to down atleast 50lbs. I know that's aggressive but it can be done if I put my mind to it. I am going to cut out Dr. Pepper, (Oh, how I hate to even say that), sugar, white bread, and drink a lot of water. This week I am cleaning our my cupboards and will start fresh Aug. 1. I need all of the encouragement and help I can get. Thanks!!
You can do it, add me if you need support0 -
I would love to be a part of this. I have lost 12 lbs and have about 90 lbs to go. I am eating fairly low carb and 1200 to 1400 calories a day. Lots of veggies and lean protein. I am strength training 3 - 4 times a week and doing cardio about 5 times a week. We will all conquer this!0
-
Yes!!!!! l have 50lbs or more to lose . Now....if I could just get started. I have a really hard time sticking to this whole lose weight thing because I never had to attempt before. Getting older sucks!! But, I am determined to do this and one thing I know-I did not gain this weight overnight and there is no miracle that will allow me to go to sleep and wake up 50lbs lighter!!!! Any support will be appreciated. :bigsmile:0

Hi I am over weight by several pounds like 100 I am 5 11 and I weigh 190 pounds if I am honest with myself. I want and need to be with a group of people who are honest and true with themselves as well as helping me to face the reality that I have a problem. Hopefully this will work0

I'm looking to lose 50. I do not eat potato chips or sugar/dessert foods because I cannot stop once I start. Otherwise, I don't have a restrictive diet. I walk for exercise with a goal of at least 20 minutes per day, seven days per week.0

Over years of taking psych meds for bipolar disorder, my weight increased from 130 pounds to 278 pounds. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and sleep apnea and found a psychiatrist who would work on adjusting my medication to facilitate weight loss. I am on a combination of medication now that has allowed me to lose weight. I've lost 55 pounds over 2 years and I would like to lose 84 more pounds. I've been using myfitnesspal and have been doing cardio exercises and also strength training. I am steadily losing weight and my symptoms of bipolar disorder are under control. I just need to keep doing what I'm doing until I reach my goal. I reached a plateau when I was doing cardio exercises only and when I added strength training I lost weight faster and also felt much better.0

I am trying to lose about 75. I can't believe I have that much to lose, and I could probably lose more than that too. Love this post and all the motivation contained in the the replies!0

I am new to this posting thing so I have a post that is from an earlier time. I want and need to lose 75 pounds or more I want to be able to correspond with persons who are serious about motivation and honesty. I am weak when it comes to exercising/ I can eat correctly sometimes but most times not. Exercise is not my most favorite pastime. H E L P0
