Trying to loose 60 pounds now . It took me almost 3 years to loose 55 pounds and I really don't wanna wait an other 3 years for those other 60 I need off . One of my Facebook friend finally lost 75 total in like 10 months and she did it all counting the calories on this app so I decided to try it !!! You can all do it girlz as long as you go on this app 3 times a day n be sure to not pass ur calories ur fine n if you do , put some music on and cardio danse n jump for 30 minuts !
I've lost 2 lb on this so far0 -
I'm in the same boat! But I am proud to say that I am down 19.6lbs. I have many more to lose but its a start! MFP is great to get motivated and I love connecting with other people who are also needing to lose lots of weight!0

19.6lbs? That's super precise!! Haha.. that's brilliant though! It's at least a dress size right?

Nice to meet you. That is a gorgeous pic of your future self:-) I have about 120 pounds to lose. Wow... that was hard to write. I've been logging in and staying within my calories for 19 days now, and I am feeling great about it. You asked for cheap exercise ideas. The cheapest are obviously walking and running. I actually joined a gym. I had a great workout in a hotel room last weekend doing the circuit training stuff I do at my gym. I just picked six exercises, and I did as many repetitions as I could of sets of 12 of each for 30 minutes. You might do something like that if you are trying to workout inexpensively. My workout at the hotel included stuff like 12 squats, 12 push ups (used the nightstand), 12 jumping jacks... I also did lunges back and forth across the room twelve times. The lunges took the longest. I think I managed 3 reps of all six exercises in 30 minutes. Then I jogged back and forth in my room for 20 minutes. It was actually a pretty good workout almost as good as I get at my gym. They don't have machines. You just do body weight stuff. Good for you for getting started on this exciting journey :-)0

The circuit training at home is such a great idea!!!!! And yeah i know how you feel having a big goal... hearing women say things like 'oh i really need to lose 7lbs for summer' and you're just there like... I WISH!! haha may have to start the circuit! x0 -
My name is Marti and I have about 60 pounds to lose. I was down to 160, which I thought made me look great....

Here we are all at the first/beginning steps of a BIG journey -not necessarily a long one.
I love the idea of the 8th floor walk- up Charlotte 251 - it then becomes essential to walk up the stairs every day. Even if you have to stop 20 times, whether you are carrying stuff or not, and soon those eight flights will be doing amazing things to your tush!
You run your own business? This will be easy! We are here for you!0 -
Hi All!
I have been on MFP on and off...i'm dedicated to stick to it this time. I want to lose 40 pounds...my goal is 140 pounds. I almost cried when my fav jeans didnt go past my thighs, but I will wear them again! I also started the 30 day shred and I'm on level 2, it's hard but I'm trying my best to stay motivated. 0 -
Also looking to lose 80Lb+ on week 1 and from the U.K.

I think this app is great it makes you realise what you are putting into your body. I'm also from the UK and find it especially hard at night time. I always want to binge on chocolate or biscuits anything sweet. Let's all help each other. There are loads of exercises that you can do in the comfort of your own home.0

I am also UK based and on here every day. Anyone can add if they want.....0

Hi there!!! I've lost 75lb so far and I need to lose the final 15. I'm on a Paleo diet for the last couple of years. I am not starving, my portions are more than satisfying and I couldn't be happier! Also I work out at least 5 times a week! So what I am saying is you can do it and you will do it!!! Stay focused and commited!
And don't let family and friends tempt you. I remember all these times that my friends or family were insisting on me having a piece of that delicious cake they made because "ah, it's one time it's ok", or some deep fried spicy chicken wings, or something else and they always INSIST and you know what? It feels great saying NO! And it feels even greater next day when you are like YEAAAAAAAAAAH!!! I didn't fall in the trap! There is always going to be an excuse for cheating - someone's bday, a family reunion, valentine's day, a girls night out, there is always something but I say we need to always stay focused on our goals coz at the end trust me it will feel soooooooooooo good!I didn't eat this crap! I used to eat 1.5 family pizza ALONE and then I would no be able to move for hours. Now I don't even eat pizza. I mean ever. WE CAN DO IT!0 -
Looking to lose 100 lbs as well0

I'm have 58lb to go, lost 12 already.
I don't think wow that's a big number , I think of it in half stone blocks. This weekend I should be at 2 of my blocks
Just another 8 to go.
Once I make a stone I'm going to treat me to something nice.
Not a meal or clothes but something as recognition of the milestones I have passed.
I lost 50lb before then complacency set in.
That won't happen again.
I'm Paul, based in UK. Feel free to add me
Good luck all0 -
I hear you!! Looking to lose 40+ pounds. I am down 10 pounds in a week and half though! Just by counting calories and watching what I put in my mouth! It was even my birthday yesterday and I splurged and had a piece of cake. No weight loss today, but it's ok. Let's do this!! It's not easy, but so worth it!!0

I successfully lost 80 pounds since the birth of my son. Its been a long process but its a lifestyle not a quick fix, right?
Id love to help keep motivated!0 -
I am new on this app, also looking to lose 80-100 lbs. I'd love to support you guys!0

Hi there!
My goals are a little different. I am also looking to lose 50-60lbs but of fat! I am most concerned on getting my body fat percentage lowered and into a healthy (and hot!) range.Losing fat and maintaining lean muscle is the most important.
I started my lifestyle change on January 5th and am down 9.5lbs of fat and a total of 12.4lbs from eating healthy foods, tracking, and exercising daily (walking, rock climbing, hiking, and now I've begun the Couch to 5k program).
My biggest piece of advice is that there is no such thing as motivation or willpower. It is dedication and habits.
Please feel free to add me!0
