    Hi, I'd love to join you too! I'm 196lbs and my target is 140lbs. My plan is to go slow and steady and hopefully keep it off so my goal is my wedding which (although not confirmed) will be summer 2016 :smile:

    Me also. I just ed started my new weight loss adventure yesterday 1/10th. I am currently at 200 lbs my goal weight is between 130-150. The 130lb is really stretching it. Haven't been that small since 2002. I just had my 3rd son 7 most ago and need to get rid of all the extra weight I put on. I have too many aches and pains and tired of all the clothing I can't wear anymore.

    Good luck on your journey, everyone!

    Good morning all. I'm hoping that this monday has started well for all of you. Maybe some of us even made it to the gym? I didn't make it myself. I'll go this afternoon. I use fitbit to help me get the exercise I need daily. But anyhow...

    I started at 201. I'm trying to get down to 180, or maybe even 175 prior to march. Going well thus far. I lost 5 lbs last week...don't really know how but I suppose the weight loss will plateau as I get further along. I'd love to share this journey with some/all of you if you like.

    New group called 3 for 3 Day Challenge. We started today. Join us if it looks like a good fit for you. It's 3 goals you maintain for 3 days. That's it. Then we take a one day break, and back at it for only 3 days again. You can DO this!

    So happy to see so many people trying to change their lifestyle and get healthier. I started using this program in July and it has really helped me. Just follow the calorie guidelines and you will succeed. Good luck everyone.

    I am looking to add a few new MFP friends too for that extra boost of motivation and accountability! B) I've lost 10 lbs since mid - December after giving up soda and I have 60 lbs to my feel good weight! I plan to lose it this year by sticking to the program once and for all!!

    giving up soda, caffeine, and artificial sweeteners is the best thing anyone can do for themselves. Once those process out of your system, you feel 10x better and it's much easier to stay on track.
