in Getting Started
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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 life
