I have lost 10pounds since last fall using weightwatchers. I just didnt have the money to pay for it anymore. Then I found myfitnesspal! I am looking to lose 80pounds more. I currently weigh 200pounds and need to lose this extra weight I have gained while pregnant with my daughter. I would like some friend support on here as well!
thanks Rachel

    I'm at 220.6, the .6 is very important to me, and I also have to lose between 70-80 pounds to be within my healthy range. I think I'm starting P90x again tomorrow. Have you tried that? I used it before and it works wonders.

    I'm shooting for 82 pounds, making my goal weight 150. I'm doing zumba and just dance 2 right now, but may soon have some turbo jam and BBL to do. Cant. wait.

    Feel free to add me! I also have a 3 year old and think I weigh more now than when I was 6 months pregnant! I am hoping to lose 35 pounds, but have really been struggling lately.
    I'm looking for support too - maybe we can help each other.

    I started at 201 and would love to be at 130 so about 70 lbs. I have lost 17 so far and it is a ton of work but in the end it will be so worth it! Good luck with your weight loss and feel free to add me since we have similar goals! I always find it nice to talk to people who are shooting for around the same goal around the same weight!

    You can do it! Try 5 smaller meals a day instead of big ones, and drink a glass of water before and during your meals, it well help a lot! I lost 10 pounds the first couple weeks i was doing 5 smaller meals a day. Also take 1 or 2 tbsp of braggs apple cider vinegar every day or as often as you can stomach it, it helps and makes you healthier!

    Hey I am doing p 90 x for the past three weeks, and I have lost 5 pounds so far. It is a hard work out but I do p 90x in the morning and then few hours later I jog for 35 mins, and I see a much faster weight loss by doing this. But you have to keep eating like 6 times a day so this way your body will not store any food if you eat small meals all the time through out the day.

    depending on how small your meals are and what you want your calorie intake to be you can make it 4-6 meals, if you are exercising then 6 meals would be good and you'd be eating every few hours which always makes me feel better. I have lazy days where I'm not as hungry and I find myself not wanting another meal after the 4th.

    LOL! I am too! Why does he have to yell it every time too? I think he's running out of things to say after all of these years. Plus, he has to make it short and sweet since Jennifer always interrupts him, or yells at him for his opinion!

    Right with you!! I started at 213 and my goal is 125. I have been using My Fitness Pal and doing P90X for 4 weeks. So far I have lost 17 pounds. Started to feel myself slipping this last week and trying hard to stay on track. Good luck to everyone!! We can do this!

    When you start P90x you may think it is the most vile, devilish exercise regime you've ever encountered but by the end of your first month you'll notice a difference. I noticed a difference in my appearance, attitude, etc. after a month of doing P90x. My issue with longterm weightloss was continuing my unhealthy eating habits. MFP has helped me change my habits within a very short amount of time. I actually got upset at a package of individual chocolate cookies for being 230 calories.....for six cookies!!!! Definitely not wasting my calories on that. I posted the link below. It's worth it, I'm telling you.
