Girls wanting to lose 50-100 pounds/20-45 kg (Read 1st post)

I would love to join this group

Really excited about joining . . . turning 60 later this year. My goal is to embrace the sixties with good Health. Looking to loose at least 100 pounds. Would love to knock out 50 of those pounds by June . . . would be a great inspiration :drinker:

I would like to join! I'm about halfway through my journey to a (hopeful) 80 pound loss. It's taken me 6 months to get to this point.

The scale is starting to move a lot slower now and since the holidays, it's been hard to get back to eating at my calorie goal. Food has ALWAYS been a comfort for me thus leading me to be overweight my entire life. I kind of let myself "cheat" for Christmas and then up until the 1st of the year and it has really brought those bad binging habits back to the surface. Just yesterday I thought I deserved a Skinny Cow ice cream bar as a nighttime snack and of course it was soooo good I figured "What the heck, I'll have another one."

I really don't have much support in my everyday life. No one else I know struggles with the same food issues and understands how hard it is to stop once I've started.

I hope I haven't gone on too much about myself but would really like to have a group of ladies to support and be supported by. We should add each other as friends! Is everyone new to MFP?

I was doing quite well following my healthier eating habits & exercising, but somewhere in the past few months something happened and I fell back into bad old binging habits. I too allowed myself to cheat over the holidays which made it much worse. I look at it as an addiction. I am sneaking cookies at night because I am so embarrassed to admit I have "fallen off the wagon". All I can think about is cookies, ice cream, chips and all kinds of yummy fried foods! My mouth is watering as I talk about this. I got to a point where I felt like, oh well, I have already failed, so I must go all the way. I started eating like crazy, day & night. Today, I feel horrible, absolutely disgusted not only with myself but about how bad I feel from overeating unhealthy foods. It has taken me a year to lose about 20 lbs because of my struggle with food and I do not what to gain it back. Seeing your post has motivated me to do my best to get back on track. I know sometimes we fall but we have to get back to our healthy selves quickly before it consumes us. Think of all the discipline, persistence and strength it took to accomplish your weight loss of 45 lbs in 6 months! I know you can do it. Hang in there!

So are we supposed to be posting pics etc to this group? LOL. I've never been part of a "group" so I'm not really sure how it works.

Hey! Nat here. i'm 19, and I really want to lose between 50-65lbs. before summers end. I would love to join the group!

Would love to join this group! I've got 6 stone to loose to be within a healthy BMI range. I'm very good at dieting in Italy but quickly get bored after about 6 months so motivation and support will be much appreciated good luck to everyone xx
