I've never been at the weight I'm at, and I definitely and sick of staring at the scale. I've done so many different things and never follow through or get the support that I need. 80 might sound like a lot but it's where my body should be. I haven't weighed that much since I was 13 and I'm 20! :/ I need some serious changes to start.

    Hi all,
    I'm also trying to get some of my weight off. My first goal is 50 and I am finding it really hard this time around. I find that I focus too much on one thing. Either good eating, or exercising. So I'm really trying to juggle both at the moment.
    At the moment I am training for a 10k, and it's kicking my butt. Exercise is going pretty well, now just need to get my eating a bit under control.

    I'm a stay at home mom with a very active 6yo, would love some support buddies :)

    You can do it, it is not easy but it can be done if you are determined enough. I need to lose about 58 more pounds, I am type 2 diabetes because of the weight I had put on over the last 18 years and I am 43. Add me if you would like and we can motivate each other!!

    80 pounds would be pushing it in 10 months. You'd have to very aggressively hit 2 pounds per week for the remainder of the year. But 40-60 should be doable.

    Well my goal is 5 pounds per week but no less than 2. I know I can do it:) I'm still young!

    I have an overall total goal, but I have short term goals at 5 pound intervals which may take 1-2 weeks to achieve, but I just keep plugging away and enjoy the journey as this is going to be my lifestyle not a diet. You can definitely do it and make sure you are doing it for yourself not for anyone else. I find because I am doing it as a lifestyle and for myself this time, I am seeing better results and feel great. I know I will have rough patches and bad days but that is life, I just need to reset and continue on!

    One day at a time and love yourself for each success small or big! You are worth it!

    I need to lose 100 pounds. And it's tough on me cause I've always been skinny and now I am just a mess. I mean I don't even like to weight myself cause I know the number I am going to get. But I just started today and so far I feel good. But my question is, if I will keep up with it? I would love support & I can be a friend as well.

    I've dropped 43 so far (already had shed 13 before I signed up for MyFitnessPal) and still have 50-ish to go. I started in early October of last year.

    I've walked and gotten quite good at paying attention to what I eat. I also build "cheat" days into my life because a life without pizza is a life I don't want any part of. :smile:

    I've had a couple of frustrating plateau's,but kept going. It's been a journey and one I intend keeping on.
