in Introduce Yourself
Hi I am new here and would like to lose 40 to 50 pounds. I've got a long road ahead and my journey starts today. Also I am going on my very first vacation this summer and would like to lose a few pounds for that. I really just need support motivation and sometimes maybe a food intervention. I have an issue with food. I love it.

    i am exactly the same!! although i have been on here for nearly 2 months and i have been going up and down and only lost 1lb!! it's killing me! i am desperate to lose a stone and a half by September and 2 stone maybe even 2 and a half stone by christmas!

    log everything you eat and every exercise you do (as long as it's different to what you do every day) try not to eat ALL of your workout calories back then you will have a better chance at losing weight!

    Stay focased people on here are great for support! Good Luck x

    Good morning, My weight loss goal is 50 lbs and I have to get a grip on my love for food also. I am going to try to make better food choices and work out more so that I don't have to feel deprived. Good luck!

    My friend introduced me to my fitness pal a while ago and I was so excited to join. So I became a member. And then my home page just sat there. I signed on today and saw several messages, Amy hasn't been here in a month, Amy hasn't been here in several months, Amy hasn't been here in quite some time, maybe she needs a little nudge. :) Well, Amy is here now and she plans to kick things in to gear and get moving. My niece is getting married in two months. I would love to lose 20 pounds before the wedding but would be happy with even 10. I am an expert on eating healthy and how to lose weight. I've read many diet books and self help motiviational books. The problem with all that is I have never really got moving. Any 'thin' person I talk to (other than the occassional totally blessed ones who eat everything and do nothing and are a size 6) will tell me that they eat what they want in moderation and they exercise every day. They will miss an occassional day or two but basically it is every day. So in my opinion the key to a healthy life is move!

    You sound just like me. I need to lose about 50 pounds too. We're also going on vacation for the first time this summer. I'm taking my son to the beach and we're leaving in less than a month. I know that's not enough time to lose weight, but I'm hoping I can get a walking program started so I'll at least have enerdy to be able to keep up with him.

    Just take it one day at a time... one pound at a time.

    Good luck to you on your journey! Stay positive and just know that there will be ups and downs, it is how you react to the downs that will make or break your success.

    When I began mine I wanted to lose 100lbs... I am at 50lbs now... 50 to go.

    Feel free to add me. :)

    A month is a great start - you will be surprised how much better you feel even if you only drop 8-10 pounds. Drink lots and lots of water! Feel free to add me as a friend - we can motivate each other!
