I'm Traci (Iwanttobeevil). My weight loss process has been a frustrating and ongoing journey. In 2013 I was going pretty well and losing weight but then I had an injury where I managed to mangle the ligaments running from my foot to my large toe. Because of how much damage I did I needed to largely stay off my foot and keep from stressing it. Add to this that I started school full time in addition to working, I was sedentary and stressed out and hence I didn't pay attention to what I ate and thus gained more weight. I feel pretty frustrated overall but I don't want to fail again. My goal is going to be focused more towards strength building along with losing excess fat as my body tends to gain muscle readily.0

Hey everyone! Jenn, aka RubyRhodette, here. 5' 1", 185# as of this morning. I am getting married in January of 2017 so that's a big motivator. Being healthy for my girls is another thing that motivates me. Plus... I'd really like to look smoking hot while naked (Obviously that's my biggest motivation). Hope this helps get me some motivation since previous attempts have failed miserably. I started Whole30 yesterday and so far so good. Best of luck everyone!0

I keep putting off loosing weight because I'm busy/stressed/ill but really hoping to stop making excuses this year and make some progress. Look forward to getting to know you all xxx 0

And that has go. So here I am. If you're feeling down and need to hear some encouragement, or just want to talk, message me 0

Hey all, I'm Ash. Inspiritedmama here(obv) and on imgur. The last three years have pretty much been a nightmare, stress-wise. But things started to look up the last bit of 2015, and am excited for 2016!
I signed up for the gym (just got back from an hour on the treadmill), and plan to go 4-5 times a week with a real focus on cardio. I absolutely loathe diets. I feel like I've been on and off diets for the last decade++ So for 2016 I'm kicking it off with a focus on clean/whole/mindful eating. Lean meats, lots of fruit and veg, and starting on Monday, no sugar/refined sweeteners!
My goal is 2lbs per week, with 80-100lbs total for 2016.0 -

Exercise is so important! I know you can do it this year. Look forward to seeing your progress!

I've been focusing on lifting and ignoring Cardio and diet so I've got a nice layer of insulation over all my muscles haha. Looking to cut some body fat and up my endurance while still maintaining my strength level. Not super concerned about the actual number of pounds I weigh but it's a good way to check progress I guess.
I signed up for some hard core bootcamp classes/transformation program and will be going on a paleo diet challenge starting January 4th. I'll be doing weigh ins and measurement tracking with the program so I'll update with those stats later.
I've been lifting for a few years and would be happy to help anyone who is new to lifting
Yay, another lifter! I've been lifting for a few years, but never consistently. I started COMPLETELY over on Starting Strength last October, but the same as you, not much cardio and my diet hasn't been the best. I'm starting this week with filling in cardio on my "off" days to try and see some fat loss, along with diet changes. I'm 5'9" @196lbs. Good luck! 0 -
Hi all! I'm Sarah from California. I currently weigh 250 and am 5'6" I have some mini goals I want to reach, first getting to 236, which was a weight I was at for a long time. My big goal is to get to 190 and see where I want to go from there. Over the past year I went from 280, to 243 and back up to 250 due to holidays and a lack of self control! But still better than where I was a year ago! I've struggle with my weight my whole life, and and over it. I just want to be comfortable, not a super model!0

I'm right there with you Sarah. I'm the biggest I've been right now, and just getting under that 200lb mark would make me happy!
We can do this! What's your "plan of attack"?0 -
Hi everyone, my Imgur name is sillypoopies. 2 years ago I was in great shape and only 15 lbs from my "goal". Then I got married, ended up working at a poutine-only restaurant, and now working nights in a group home. I gained it all back and weigh 220.
I am 6'1", so the weight doesn't show on me like shorter people, but due to being very tall AND plus size, I have a REALLY hard time find clothes I like that fit me! My goal is to get back to 165-170!0 -

Awesome goal, what is your plan to help lose the weight since you work in food and at nights?

Hi! My name is Erin and I am here thanks to "icangothedistance" on Imgur. A couple of years ago I lost 50 lbs and felt great! Then I got a full time job and my baby was now a fully energetic toddler and I found it difficult to find a right time to go to the gym with also having the energy and drive to workout. I lost my motivation. Now I'm back to it, but have gained 30 of that 50 back!
I'm 6'0 and weigh 270, my mini goal is to be back to 240 by the beginning of summer. My ultimate goal is 180 but little steps! My routine currently is five days a week, one day is cardio and the other four are strength training. Anyone feel free to add me as a friend! I'm also on fitbit if you want a friend on that as well! Good luck to everyone! 0 -
Hi guys! I'm Jessica(SerenityTaps on imgur) from Kansas. Fairly new to imgur but have used MFP and quit it several times due to discouragement. I'm trying to make 2016 the year I get serious about my health again. I'm 5'2" and at 220lbs I'm the heaviest I've ever been. Aiming for 160lbs and less sugar to start. Looking to get my eating habits under control and maybe some small workouts. I'm happy to be here and meeting like minded imgurians!0
