Want to lose 40lbs!

Hey everyone! I'm Justine and I really want to lose 40lbs. I not only want to do this for my health but I really want to be happy with the way I look and confident in my own skin. I have used my fitness pal before but I never got involved in the community so I'm not quite sure how this works. A lot of my friends are very thin and fit so it can be hard to talk to them sometimes about weight loss so I hope to meet some awesome people with similar goals to go through this process together! Add me or message me - whatever works! Good luck to everyone

Same here wanting to loose at least 40, but would love if I got down twenty more. Still trying to figure this app out and how to get contacts. I wish you great success.0

My first time using the community support system. What is your plan to drop the lbs? Walking? Running? Eating Clean? Reducing / eliminating alchole? Im going to get more fit then I am now which should result in dropping some lbs.0

I need to lose more but 40 is my first goal! I've used myfitnesspal for many years and had great success. So I'm excited to get back into it!0

My plan is to lose 40lbs to but first I want to try losing 10lbs first. Mostly just want to get back into shape0

I'm in the same boat @JNicoleMolly, all my friends are thin and fit. I've always been the heavy/thicker friend. I've also been part of MFP for quite some time but haven't been as active. Hoping to change that this time around
I managed to lose 20 lbs back in October by going on a 45 day weight management program of clean eating.
I'll add you as a friend if you don't mind It helps having a community to keep you accountable. Good luck! 0 -
I also want to lose about 40 lbs. I have been on here a while but will be active for a while and lose some, then stop. I didn't use the community those times, so this time I hoping the support will help with my determination.0

I'm wanting to lose 40-50 lbs. I did it once before on Jenny Craig, but over the last 6 years I slowly gained it all back. I need support and motivation.0

I've used this app before along with runtastic. Worked really well but I fell off the wagon. I want to get back in the game to loose about 30lbs. Never used the support community before but I think this is something I need. Feel free to add me.0

It's totally doable! You've got to work for it more than just wanting it. It helped me to break down my goal into smaller parts so it wasn't overwhelming. Have a clear plan and remind yourself of it every day.0

I've been a regular at MFP for over two years now--lost 66lbs but have put back on 20 so getting back on the wagon again. Using the community forums helped me alot--you don't realize how much support you need and how much it helps reinforce your motivation. You have to keep it on the front burner so getting on here and sharing was the key to my success I think. I recommend joining a weight loss challenge or start one yourself--some friendly competition toward a mutual goal helps too. My final piece of advice: please, please, please learn (I beg you) that you "lose" weight so that your pants are "loose".

Planning on going to the gym for aerobic and strength training, cycling and doing MUCH better with my eating habits. Planning to lose 45 lbs. Would enjoy being accountable to folks with similar goals.0

Same here. Hoping that seeing others in the same boat as me will give me the motivation I need to keep going. Feel free to add me! The more the merrier!

I'm aiming for more then 40 overall but 20 to start. I've been losing and and regaining weight a little at a time for 5 years but without being active in this community so I hope this helps make this time different. Anyone feel free to add me! I hope to have more people to hold me accountable and would love to have more people to talk to who are in a similar point in life0

I'm right there with you @JNicoleMolly!0

I'm in! 40 it is... Anyone open to adding me? Let me know0

I'm hoping to lose between 40-60lbs - whenever I reach a point where I'm happy! I'd love any new friends to help with motivation etc so feel free to add me 0

Hi guys!! I want to lose 42lbs!! (3 stone in the uk) I did it once before using mfp, but various things went on and it slowly crept back over the last few years!! Feel free to add me guys!!!0

You can do it! You're in the right place I just hit the 47 lb mark! 0

I don't need to lose 40 10-12 tops for me but we're all trying to accomplish the same thing! Set small goals and let those victories fuel you to continue on your journey :-) I'm always open to new friends, I'm on here daily!0

Welcome ! I've been here a long time but I've struggled since last spring, due to some health issues and then mental from the health. (as in eating because of it)
Back on track with working out and eating better!!!!
I workout from home, because its hard with two little kids, I don't want to take that time from them.
Looking forward to feeling better again

Hi Justine and everyone else reading! I'm also new to the community portion but have been on mfp for awhile, off and on! I'm looking to shed 30-40 lbs of "baby weight" (my son is 7!). Feel free to add me, I need all the support I can get0
-
40 here too!0
-
40 will be a good start for me. I was diagnosed Diabetic about 12 years ago and lost almost 100 pounds then, getting myself off all the meds. Over the years, I have put back on about 50 of that. looking to get rid of it again and more. I was a powerlifter in my teens and could eat whatever I wanted! lol
I am new here and really liking it so far. I like the 5 week look ahead thing. seems like a good motivator.
Would love to find someone to be accountable to.0 -
I'm just getting started, too, and trying to lose 35.0

Feel free to add me as well. I'm trying to lose 20 lbs to start and then maybe another 10. I've never tried being part of the fitness pal community before but would like to start. I've lost weight a few years ago and got down to a good weight but being short it is more difficult to keep it off. I've also had health issues which contribute to weight gain but I'm hoping for a good start.0

Best of luck to you, add me if you like.0
