Hello this lovely morning. I've made the decision that I need to lose weight. Dr. said I'm on the outskirts of being diabetic. I'm here looking to make friends along this weight loss journey.

    I am in this to lose between 40 and 50. What is going to be your plan of attack? Is there any particular program you will be following?

    Good morning Ladies! I am looking to lose 40 pounds myself. I am tracking my foods daily and going to the gym 3-4 times a week. I also have a personal trainer that I work with one day a week (that's all I can afford). It's going slow. I don't notice big # changes on the scale but I notice my clothes are fitting a bit nicer. I've only been at it for the last 6-7 weeks.

    Hi. i lost 40... then gained 20... GRRRRRR... and lost motivation. Anyway, Ive got 50 to go and if i could make it a straight line I'd be super happy but its like a mountain range... up down up down up down... Im not the best example but if you need any moral support Im here... Good luck!

    Hi ladies! I am trying to lose 40lbs too. I used to be really athletic and strong (I was a competitive swimmer), but since University my weight has really spiralled and I really want to do something to change it. I am trying to turn my focus away from a number on a scale and back to being a healthy and happier me (I have had problems with obsessing over the tiny numbers before). Although I am not going to worry about numbers on the scale, that is about the amount I need to loose to get back to the healthy body I used to have. I would love to join in with you girls! Support always makes this stuff easier! :smile:

    I started this plan yesterday and once I'm done I'll move to something a bit harder to keep myself going.

    Hi all! I could also use some support! I've got about 50 more to lose. I'm finally getting somewhere but really only have my hubby supporting me. Could use some friends. This is my first venture into the forums so I hope I'm doing this correctly.

    Maybe we can check in daily/weekly to make sure we stay on track. Like right now I would love a coke and chips but I will eat my chicken and beans :-)

    Hi, I need to lose 150 lbs. Trying to build a group of friends who support each other on this journey. Would love to link with people who inspire and motivate others and are interested in having that core group of supportive friends here on MFP

    I'm in the 40-50 boat as well! Put on at least that much when pregnant and it's stuck around (my son just turned 1). Time to do something about it! Would love to join in with you all.

    I have a goal of 40 lbs. this time around so I'm right there with you. I've lost 100 lbs. total previously. Over the last 1 1/2 years I've gained back some from medication, health issues, inability to exercise and poor food choices. I've done it before and I'll do it again. Please friend me if anyone would like. Let's support each other!
