60lbs to lose by August 20th 2016

Hi there. This year I am loosing 45lbs for ever. Last year I was called fatso, obese, and told by girlfriend that my best feature was my face, and she was not attracted by my physic as I let my fitness go away for a while. Friends needed to keep me motivated too and I will post pictures of any progress.

I want to join in. I would be happy with 50 by then but to get to a healthy BMI need to lose 70.
I'm looking hard at my food choices. I know the culprit lies there. I'm such an emotional eater and I'm a single mom. When he's here I do pretty well but when he's gone the depression sets in and I find myself eating everything.

Happy to support you all on the journey, too! I have about 60 pounds overall to lose, but I didn't set a timeline (I gained most of it AFTER my wedding, so while you're sweating-for-the-wedding, I'm just sweating!). Planning a big vacation with friends this summer though, so hoping to drop a big chunk before then so I don't feel gross in a bathing suit with all the skinny-minnines around me!

Let's do it!

I was trying to decide when I would go back home (CT) to see my son and hang out with some friends. Your posts inspired me to lose the nagging 60 pounds and visit my son on August 20. Thanks for your help!

Hi, can i join please? I WAS an MFP success been on here on and off forever! I got to my goal, loved it was fit, healthy, wearing great clothes did a half marathon and I kinda maintained for a couple of years, by maintained i mean yo yoed within a stone. 4 and a bit years ago, when slim, I got into a different relationship, moved country, started working full time, been getting stressed, eating my way out of it and have completely lost the plot. I am now the heaviest I have been in my life - well im 2 lbs lighter than last week! I need to get focussed and stop looking at my mfp stats eg Oct 2011 whilst still in France I weighed 68lbs less than today....... 68lbs!!!! I will be 50 next month I am going through the menopause and I am sick of this. My other half is a bit of a feeder, loves food, loves me whatever size I am so I am trying to get through to him that I am sick of grunting when putting my shoes on!!!!

If there is anyone on here who would like to go through this journey with me please add me - I cant even work out how to add friends now, the site has changed a bit!
I am really peed off that I have to do this now, I do not want to even get down to my 68lb lower weight at this time, I might change my mind about that when i get the first 45 off though lol.

I have 61 more to go myself. I've lost 4 so far with several inches. Feel free to add me!

Feel free to add me as well!! I need more friends that will help motivate me!

I'd love to join in too....I am in a similar situation. I've been with my other half for almost 16 years and he loves me the way I am, I've tried to make him understand that's great but I'm not happy with me. After 3 kids, a sedentary job, and really no time for myself I am out of shape (unless I consider round a shape).

All 3 of my kids play soccer. I would love to be able to keep up with them and get back into the game myself.

I'm starting with small goals... 10 pounds before my next dr. appointment in March, cleaner eating, and being more active. I am also starting back at the gym before work. Oh 4am...why do you have to be so early??

Hi! I have a goal of 40 lbs to lose. I've always struggled with my weight but the past year i reached the heaviest point I have ever been and I'm uncomfortable with it. I'd love to join and help support everyone. Anyone can feel free to add me.

60 pounds is a mid part for me. Sign me up!!

Wow, I can so relate so much to this group. I lost 44 lbs last fall and I have let 10 come back on as of this am. I worked so hard for that loss. I just feel out of control and need to reign it in. I would love to follow this group. I am fairly new to this website so not sure if this post is going to right place. I will figure it out it eventually!!! This is giving me some motivation that I truly need!

I've struggled with my weight most of my life. I have tried most of the diets on the market and been part of several different gyms. I have worked with Personal Trainers and even did an extreme cleanse last January where I lost 20 lbs, but it came right back on and now I've gained even more. I am at my heaviest weight ever and need to stop making excuses and letting small failures derail my motivation. My self-esteem is at an all time low and I dread looking in the mirror or shopping for clothes. My husband is extremely supportive, but unfortunately working out with him can be frustrating because he is one of the lucky ones that can see results very quickly.

Looking to lose 50-60 lbs not only for my health but also with the hopes of starting a family. I don't want my excess weight to affect my ability to conceive or jeopardize the health of my baby or myself during pregnancy. I started to see a nutritionist in December and will meet with her once a month to help with my accountability and she fully encourages me to use MFP!! Also got a Fitbit for Christmas from my very supportive family to get my butt moving because I too have a very sedentary job.

Here's to getting rid of excuses and taking my life back!! Feel free to add me! Always looking for motivation and inspiration from those in similar situations

I lost 60 lbs last year, have about 35 lbs to go to my goal weight. Feel free to add me. It's great to have friends that have similar goals.

We share a wedding day and a weight loss goal! I've already lost 16 lbs and still have 24 to go to reach my goal weight of 135 lbs.

I'm focussing on calories. I'm a truck driver so going to a gym isn't possible. Basically I'm watching portion sizes, cooking in my truck and walking as much as I can. Just quit smoking 2 weeks ago too so now I'm trying to work in some body weight exercise. We travel with our dogs too so that forces us to get out of the truck.

Let's do this together and trade some wedding planning war stories along the way!!!
