Anyone else just getting started and have about 50-60 lbs to lose?

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.

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 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

MAYBE 1 lb/week

Thanks soooo much ladies, I sent all of you invites. Let's do this!!!

I'm 204.4. Highest I have ever been. Have always been chubby and just steadily gained weight over the years. I have lost some weight (20 lbs or so) twice in my life - once with intermittent partial fasting for religious reasons and once using herbalife as a meal replacement system, but of course gained it all back and then some. Looking forward to changing my attitude about food and my mindset about a healthy lifestyle. Started logging a few days ago and browsing the community boards which prompted me to order a food scale and to make an appointment for a physical. I suppose my goal weight should be 120 but I will see what the doctor says.

I don't think my last post posted. I am losing 60 lbs for now. I joined 5 days ago & already list one pound! I am currently 229 I am aiming for 170. Just to see the 100 mark would be a blessing! I am synced with Pacer & I am very motivated person with a quitters tendancies. I am really trying this time & holding myself accountable each step of the way. Feel free to send me requests. I will add you! We need all the support we can get. Good luck to everybody!
