    I have seen a bit a progress, but still have a lot to lose. I log everyday, eat anything I want as long as it fits in my calorie goal, exercise often, and keep a positive outlook. I did not pile this lard onto my body overnight and I will have to work hard to get it melted away. I focus on reteaching myself to see food as fuel and look for new ways to get my body in motion. I am making lifestyle changes that are reasonable, healthy, and sustainable.

    I would love to offer you support and motivation. I wish you great success on your journey!

    Hi, I'm new to MFP and have over 50 pounds to lose. They keep saying weightloss is better, easier, more successful when you do it with a friend, so maybe it's time to give this a try. The goal is to lose it by June 2015 - or just to lose it!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm not new per se, but I am looking for ladies with similar stats to mine. I'm 26, 5'9, SW 260, CW 231.2.

    My first goal is 199 before the end of 2014, and an UGW of 169. I'd love to have more active posters on my friends list!

    You should make a group instead of posting in a forum, I'd join it!!

    I'd join it too. Here are my stats:

    Age: 47
    Height: 5'4"
    Start weight: 225
    Highest weight: 225
    Goal weight: 150. That's a size 10 on me and just perfect! Haven't seen it since I was 27....
    Current weight: no idea

    I've only weighed once in the month I've been back on MFP. I don't plan to weigh often as I'm in this for the long haul. Making permanent changes is my real goal. I am one of those....how did someone word it?.....who has fallen into the 1200 calorie/day trap. But to be honest, even if I eat 1400/day, I just don't lose. And at least 1200 gives me some wiggle room for the inevitable inaccuracy of counting, which is probably my biggest problem. I eat 6 small meals a day and am very comfortable!

    I'm not exercising right now, but plan to get back to it asap. When I do, I walk and hike in my favorite canyon in Tucson, AZ - usually at sunrise because it's the coolest time of day.

    If there's a group for losing 50+, sign me up!

    I have about 132 lbs to lose. I am currently 292. This is my highest weight recorded. I want to lose it by winter of 2015. Reason for my weight loss is health of being able to interact more with my children and I am in a relationship that is moving toward marriage and I don't want to be a fat bride.

    Hi,

    This is my very first post in MFP. I'm wanting to loose a total of 82 lbs. Sounds like so much...I have PCOS which makes loosing weight very challenging. Though, I'm working towards making some major lifestyle changes with hopes of reaching my goals. Looking for some MFP as support.

    I have PCOS as well and even after making some significant changes in my lifestyle I was still gaining. Have you found some tricks that help?

    Yes, I am looking to lose at least 60 lbs. I recently had a death in my family and found that over the past fifteen years have gained so much weight and had poor eating habits and no exercise to speak of. Have been trying to walk twice a day with my dogs for at least 30-40 minutes and am planning to do a light weight routine that I found online, with tomato cans. I have always wanted more shapely arms, I am motivated right now and have gotten good support from a good friend. I think that talking to her and having her inquire how my excercise and food intake are helps me stay in some semblence of order. It is hard, but since she is a vegetarian, I think that she is a good influence nutrition wise. There is a good web site The 100 Healthiest Foods, that has provided me with a lot of information and motivation. And I am finding that trying new healthy recipes shows me that I like them just as well as my fattening comfort foods. I will look for your posts. I also need some encouragement. I am so looking forward to being closer to 200 lbs so that I can get some more attractive clothes. That is one thing that gives me motivation now, caring for myself, make up, hair just for me, instead of sweats and oversized shirts.

    Hello! Great thread idea!

    When I started I had 80lb to lose now I am down to 59lb (21lb down!).
    Add me if you want some support! I'd love more friends!


    Highest weight recorded 210
    Current weight 189
    Height 5'2
    Age 24
    Starting size 12/14
    Current size 12
    Plan - I am switching to the TDEE method as I hit a plateau. I think for the MFP method my exercise was not consistent enough for it to work as it should. I do interval training (running) 3 times a week and body weight training 3 times a week. I have Sunday as I full rest day and the others are done every other day to work different body parts.

    I have a lot to lose and have tried everything; not sure what I want to weight, but not what I weigh now...I am at 269 and my first goal is that I know I want to be out of the 200 club; so I will try logging my foods...hopefully this helps. You are not alone!

    Highest weight recorded 261
    Current weight 250
    Height 5'35
    Age 26
    Starting size 18
    Current size 18
    Plan - Everything in moderation. My diet is about 80% "clean" but if I'm craving something I'll eat a correct portion of it. Gym 5-6x a week with cardio and lifting heavy.

    I've always had an issue with my body image. Now looking back I wish I could have the body I had when I was 18! Currently I'd like to get to 150-160ish but I'm just taking it 10 pounds at a time. Obviously my goal weight is to get in healthy range for my height 114-140.

    I have about 80 pounds to lose. I have been seriously struggling since I had my twins 19 months ago. I've found it hard to fit in any exercise as a single mom, working full-time. And when I'm not exercising, I also find that my motivation to eat well just dives. But I'm starting again today.

    We're similar. I'm starting again today and my SW is about 242. I'm also 5'9" and have had serious trouble getting my weight in line since I had my twins 19 months ago.
