  • Hi everyone,
    I an currently 205 ht is 5,2 , my start wieght was 212 iv been on mpf for about a week and a half now it has worked for me so far, my goal wieght in the long run is 145 but short term goal is to get under 200! I have a problem with eating healthy mostly because my husband eats what he wants and that is usually what gets cooked... but im going to be trying a veggie diet to see if that would help!

    I don't know if you consider 78 days just in, but I feel like I am still just starting. I am 19 lbs down, with another 41 to lose. Starting weight 226, current 207 and goal weight 165 (maybe a little more, we will see!). Over all I had a 61 lb weight loss goal. I am about 1/3 of the way there! :) Good luck! You can do it!

    I'm back again after being gone for a while. My problem is being consistent as far as logging. I've gained 10 pounds since about this time last year and I'm getting married in October! So I need to get on it! I love MyFitnessPal and find I do better keeping track than doing it on my own. It makes you accountable! My weight is 182 and I raised my goal from 120 to 130. I'd love to join y'all!

    Right here, Started at 180, I'm at 173 now, my goal is 110 (a Grand total of 70 pounds to lose, I stand at a complicated 4'11 and a half feet).
    There's a group called 50 Lbs By July and they're super active on their forums and are keeping track via an accessible gdocs excel sheet of everyone's weight loss.
    But there are tons of 50lb+ weight loss groups- check em out!
  • Gained a ton of weight over the last year and a half and have recently started a diet and low impact cardio routine with the ultimate goal of dropping from 245 lbs down to 185 lbs. A 60 lb weight loss goal is certainly daunting! Gotta remain on track and focussed! Hope you are all doing well progressing towards your current goals. God bless!

    This is day 10 for me of a 10-week challenge through my local community center. I've been doing classes there Mon-Thurs nights, 2 hours a night, one 60 min class on either Fri or Sat and then walked 35 min on off day. I just go at my own pace but it's still really hard. I'm trying to balance calorie intake with all the activity but I am getting energy back and I feel like it helps me make better food choices (added bonus of not being home to snack as much in the evening). My husband is super supportive - main challenge is busy kids/schedule and MAKING those good choices. Good luck everyone, feel free to friend me and my diary is an open book (even the ugly). Also, for anyone who has advice, especially about the activity and whether to eat back calories and if so how many, PLEASE do so!

    I'm trying to get down from 255 to 185-190 this year. been doing this thing half assed for a year, now need to get into it. just spent 36 minutes on the elliptical this morning, feeling righteous. my challenge is recording what i eat after i come home from work, and after dinner. I know, I'm just cheating myself, but I still don't record the intake. I will accept all friend requests, because i need to get this done. at 62 years old, its time.

    Hi Everyone!! After having 4 children..and a husband that brings home every unhealthy meal in sight, I have gained over 60 lbs in the course of 6 years. I am currently around 190lbs and would be comfortable at 130lbs for my 5'2" frame. I am really looking forward to banding together with like-minded women for moral support. Good Luck everyone!!
  • I peaked at 249. To be honest I was very surprised at that number, even though I should not have been. Looking to get to 205. Good luck on your journeys.

    ME! I am currently at 174. My ULTIMATE goal is 135. My first goal is 170. Then, maybe 160... one day at a time! Anyone here can add me if they would like!
  • Me!! I am at about 225 now, actually gained weight the last 5 months doing crossfit so I have decided to change my approach and I am back at a "regular gym" with a trainer. I want to ultimately get to 150 but for now I'm looking forward to 175. Trainer actually doesn't want me counting calories just eating whole, healthy foods but I need to log into MyFitnessPal to keep me sane and know I am not eating WAY too much! LOL

    Anyone can friend me please!! :-)

    I am renewing my focus, been on MFP for a year... So I am not quite a newbie, I know what I need to do... turned 50 In October, and in late Sept of last year was diagnosed with type II diabetes...my internist zeroed in on my med regime in late December SO NOW I am ready to do something about altering my body composition. for me weight as a key metric is not as important as reducing body fat and increasing muscle, flexibility and endurance. Starting today I am going to begin logging my food intake, my cardio output, and my resistance training. WE got this people... and I am always looking for positive supportive friends. SO feel free to add me I rarely turn down a friend request BUT I do expect active and consistent attendance :) drop out for 2 months and I just might drop you from my FL
