Hi my name is Amanda I'm 5'2" and 210lbs. I'm struggling with my junk food addiction. My long term goal is to reach 140lbs. My short term goal is to lose 10lbs. a month. I would love to make some friends on here to encourage and share the journey with. Here's to our health and fitness.

My name is Mandy, i'm at 190lbs, 5'3 and struggling to lose weight. My long time goal is to be around 150lbs and focused. I just started my family 15 months ago and the baby weight isn't coming off I've also been diagnosed with Diabetes and looking for some friends on here that together we can encourage each other on our journey to feeling better.

I'm 5'3/5'4 and I'm 195. Any motivation would be greatly appreciated. Especially after the holidays. I want to lose 25lbs but its hard staying committed.

Hello

I am 5'4" and 90kg, looking to get down o 60kg. Good luck everybody. x

Well, I have similar stats. Count me in for some extra support!! My goal is 5 pound loss a month. Been using MyFitnessPal for 3 days and love it!! Change of pace from counting points.

I am just under 5'4 and am 205 pounds. Have lost 7lbs in my first week. I have just written my own personal blog which uncovers my history and why I believe I am here. Whilst I am not ready to reveal to anyone yet, just reading it back is making me determined to keep going this time.
I have just eaten my lunch and recognised when I was full. OMG and I stopped eating, put the lid back on too. That is a major step forward.

I am 5'3" 176-8. I didn't weigh in at the start of this because I honestly hate the scale and get depressed continuously when I look at it. Been doing this seriously for a week now and I know (I think I know) there are changes. I can see my legs and arms and my face look slimmer. But again, the scale and I are bitter enemies and I do not want to weigh in until I feel my clothes start fitting better. My ultimate goal is 130, but hoping to get down to around 150 by May, if possible.

Currently I hit the gym 6-7 days a week, doing cardio. I haven't gotten into weights or anything else, for a couple reasons, mostly because I am ashamed of how I look in comparison to 95.5% of the girls at my gym. Also, my boyfriend and I attend the gym together, and he knows EVERYONE, so its kind of a buzzkill when I feel like they're all thinking "wow he's dating a cow." I burn about 500 calories, sometimes more. I have a HRM and it gives me accurate readings and I don't go by the MFP calories burned on here with exercise since its usually way off. I have trouble eating back the calories, though. Usually I end up netting about 800 calories a day with 600 or so remaining to eat back from exercise. I just can't do it. I am also not going by MFP suggestion of calorie intake (1200). Instead, I did the calculations of BMR, TDEE, etc. to get the amount of calories I should have and am going by that (1450). It works, but like I said, I end up with a significant # of calories at the end of the day.

I drive for work. I am in my car 90% of the day. The other 10% is spent sitting bedside of dying patients with families, talking. I can't very well bring microwavable meals to work, otherwise I'd make 4 small meals a day instead of B,L,D x 2 snacks.

Previously, I used MFP and was at 168 and lost 30lbs. That was 3 years ago. Then life happened, lots of changes... and here we are. I know its possible to do. Its just a matter of getting it done.

So that's about me. I am all private in my profile and journal (with a password--- creepers freak me out) but I'm available for support too.

P.S. I do have pretty decent Low Fat/Low Cal recipes if anyone needs them. I was kinda a foodie before this whole thing, so I HAVE TO make this 'healthy' food (that's usually bland) taste good otherwise I'm totally screwed.
