Hi, everyone,
Glad to be part of this group. I have a goal of losing another 10 lbs. Wanting to lose it slowly, so if I only drop 5lbs. by October, I'll be happy.

I'm retired, so I have lots of free time to dedicate to training, and I usually average 3 hours of exercise spread throughout the day. I mainly do Pilates, Barre, Yoga, rowing, spinning, and walking.

Hoping to make some new MFP friends in this group, and looking forward to encouraging each of you, as you put in the hard work to meet your goals...... Bill

Hello, I am new to MFP and thought I would join a group to meet some people with common goals and ambitions. I get most of my activity from walking my new pup. She is great motivation and keeps me moving. I am now trying to reverse years of neglect from job stress, (job was always my #1 priority) and family issues. I was recently diagnosed with stomach ulcers. This caused me to look at getting healthy and forced me to refocus my priorities on myself. With that said I embarked in a new priority. Hope to keep the motivation high and continue pounding away at getting this done. I walk all the time, hit the gym a couple days a week and also a kickboxing class every now and then. It's been a learning experience logging what I eat here in MFP. Quite the eye opener as far as portion sizes and calorie content of various foods. Trying to give up watching TV although with football season starting I'm going to have to control my viewing portions this season.

Hi everyone!

I have been trying to lose the weight I gained after graduation and from the stress of moving for a while now. I am hoping to lose a bit of weight by Halloween- I don't have a specific number but would like to lose at least one size.

I have been looking for a group that would help keep me accountable and am really excited to have found this one. I am going to try the 30 shred, I have heard it has some pretty great results. I'm excited to finally lose some weight!

Hello everyone!


I'm trying to get my osteoarthritis under control, and haven't been able to exercise in awhile. I have been having success with keeping an ever watchful eye on what I eat, though, thank heaven! I'm waiting to begin a series of 3 shots to my lower back, then hopefully, I'll be able to begin walking, or putting my Leslie Sansone Walk at Home DVDs to good use again.

Great group and perfect timing for me... for once. i'm retired from California to China. I'm a writer and exam prep teacher for students studying abroad. Last year (June 2013), I decided to get back in shape for my 55th B-day. I met my goal of losing 25 lbs in 8 weeks 209 to 185. I then began weightlifting, but met with a torn shoulder tendon which still plagues me. I put weight back on and decided I couldn't wait for my shoulder to heal 100% so I promised to take it easy this round.

If all goes well, this group will help me to my new goal by losing 12 lbs and getting to 180 lbs. or less. Thanks for the group and MAY THE FORCE BE WITH ALL OF US!!! GOOD LUCK ALL!

Hi everyone! Im a 19 year old girl from Copenhagen in Denmark!
I will be very happy to join this group, since this is just what i needed.

I want to loose around 10-15 pounds / 5-8 kg to feel better about myself and my health.

Hello Michelle! I am completely confident in you reaching your goals! Watching what you eat is already half the battle. Walking is a great workout and I know you can do it! Show that osteoarthritis who's boss!

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Kelseyann!

Thank you for your kind welcome Kelseyann, and welcome to everyone else who has committed to achieving their goals. WE CAN AND WILL DO IT!!!!

Hey! I am a dental student and I am getting married in March. In general I am just trying to be healthier but I do want to tone and lose some weight for the big day. I have been participating in MFP for a while and working out daily and I haven't seen a huge change in my numbers but I am staying motivated.

Good luck everyone!!!

Hi
I am having a really hard time staying motivated and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. For an unknown reason I have a really hard time dropping weight. Despite transitioning into veganism and calorie counting I have a hard time losing any weight, I have been fluctuating 3-4 each week which I'm guessing is just water weight but no actual weight loss. Any motivation is welcomed. Good luck everyone.

Hi Happy to join the group looking for the motivation to lose 10 lbs. I started MFP in May and have not really been very successful loosing anything. I lost a few lbs while I was on vacation (maybe just water weight) but I was active everyday. Now I am back home and already seeing the scales go up again. I am getting used to logging in each day and will try to keep up on tracking calories I know that helps but I have struggled taking the time to do that. Leaning a lot and will do my best to loose the 10lbs and help motivate the group!
:happy:
