Hello to all my fitness pals out there!

I joined MFP about a month ago, and have lost almost 10 lb. since then.
I'm looking to lose 25-30 more pounds by June 1, 2011.
This may be a lofty goal, but if I even get anywhere close by then, I'll be happy.

WHO'S WITH ME? Who has a similar goal? Who wants to be a part of a team? Maybe a "competition?" Friend me.

** Please friend me ONLY if you are really committed to a goal like mine (and getting there in a healthy way). I've had too many friend requests from people who constantly eat junk food, are starving themselves, or barely exercise. I need people who will encourage me to lose weight in a healthy way. We can lift each other up and hold each other accountable. **

Are you in?

    I'm in! I have 41 lbs more to lose, but would love to be friends with those with the same goals. :-)

    I have more than 30 to lose, and I am on here daily so we can be friends if you would like....

    I am not exercising much right now though because of school, but this summer I will definitely be amping it up. People that don't exercise aren't necessarily bad to be friends with though.... :(

    I keep my eating on track & I am here daily and I would love to be down 30 pounds by this summer, if I get anywhere near that I too would be happy.

    :)

    I am in, I have a very similar goal and certainly wish to follow a healthy path to reach it. I want to build a fat burnng machine and certainly depend on good fuel to do that.
    If you friend me, don't judge my diet by the past week, I had a raging sinus infection and was force feeding myself every morsel and all I could do was walk, but I assure you I walked miles :)

    There are only 13 weeks until June 1st, so to lose 30lbs by then, we need to lose at about 2.4lbs a week. That's a bit much for me, so I'll aim for 15-20lbs.

    I have 36lbs left to lose, so 15-20 would be a nice chunk of that :-)

    I have similar goals as well. I am trying to lose about 24 lbs by June. I joined MFP last year and used the sight religiously for about 6 months but did not participate in the message boards or seek out any friends. I just started logging in again about 2 weeks ago and want to try a different approach, so yes, I am in.

    I would love to help each other out!! My stats are not too off from yours. I was aiming for 25lbs lost by June 20th (my bday!) but can move it up a few weeks :) If I get anywhere near that I'll be thrilled. I've been doing p90x and shred but not everyday. I do do some kind of exercise everyday but am really going to start logging every bite that goes in my mouth and every calorie burned exercising. Monday I'll be starting p90x with the mission to do all 90 days without skipping!!! So yeah, I need all the motivation I get lol. We can do this!

    CW- 136lbs
    GW- 110lbs

    I am in! I started on January 18th, weighing 180lbs. My ultimate goal is 35lbs by June 1st. I also lost 10lbs in the first month, but my second month has been off to a slow weight loss start, but I also am 15 days into the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. I might be gaining some muscle mass which could account for the lack of weight loss.

    What are you doing for exercise? What is your diet like? I am eating mostly low fat, low carb, high protein meals, and I have been fanatical about sticking to the diet and within my calorie range. This is the first time in 10 years that I am completey committed to this.

    I would love to join in as well!!!! I have lost 10 lbs since 01/31/2011 and I go to the gym at least 5 times a week. I love doing zumba and I workout on the elliptical as much as possible. I would love to lose 25-30 lbs by June that will put me much closer to my goal weight.

    You can count me in. I need to loose way more that 30 lbs but I would love to loose 30 to 40 lbs by the middle of the summer. I'm super excited I was showed this site and can have positive people to lift each other up.

    Wow, thanks so much to everyone for being so dedicated! I wasn't expecting such a reply. I try to keep my friend count kind of low so I can be as energetic and "motivational" as I can for people, so I can't accept every request. However, I think we should all post here about our progress, ask questions, or just see how everyone is doing.

    Again, I'm so sorry I can't friend you all... but if anything, we are all part of one post and know we have similar goals. Let's all friend each other.

    Tomorrow is the BEGINNING. Let's all say goodbye to that extra 25 lb. that has been slowing us down in life. Good luck!

    My weigh in days are Monday, so every Monday I will update my progress on here. I just started working out again 2 weeks ago, and I'm doing Turbo Fire (: Anyone else?
