    My initial goal was 30 pounds. I reached that in about 3.5 months. Now my new goal is down a total of 50. I started with MFP in April and increased my workouts to 5-7 per week. I still eat ice cream and drink beer on occasion. I couldn't keep this up if i wasn't able to indulge at times. I started riding my bike the last month and absolutely love it compared to running. Burns calories like crazy too. Good luck to all of you.

    I am 5'1" and current weight 196. I am looking to lose right at 50 lbs. to start. I am not currently active, but I did lose 18 lbs. in about 8 weeks just by eating 1200 cals a day. I also practiced the principles of the Venus Index. I found it to really help. :happy:

    My goal is 50lbs. I hope to lose around 20 by Christmas and the rest in 2015. I just came back to MFP about a week ago for logging my food. I have committed to exercising 4-5 x's a week, and have been at that for the last 5 weeks. I bike, walk, strength train and am feeling great! I am 46 years old and would love some friends with similar goals to motivate and share tips with.

    Hi everyone, it was very motivational reading many of the post. I too am on a mission to lose about 30-40 pounds. I am 28 and have been struggling with my weight for some years now; after the freshman 15 came the sophomore 20. LOL! However I have had times where I have lost and times where it was a struggle, after having a baby in July of last year it has become an everyday struggle to lose the weight, but I am determined now more than ever. I enjoy working out, my biggest challenge is eating properly. This week I have been trying to eat less than 50g of carbs per day; so far I have lost 5 pounds doing this and walking/running 2-4 miles a day at the park. One day this week I actually squeezed in a session of T25 as well, which is insane. I hope that we can motivate each other. Please feel free to add me.
