I'm not new to the weight loss battle. I've lost huge amounts to just gain it back. I'm determined to lose it and keep it off this time, and I'm looking for friends who are looking to do the same!

    I still have 70 pounds to go before I'm a healthy weight (something I've never been as an adult.) Feel free to add me if you'd like. :)

    This time, I'm not losing weight for him...this is for my health, sense of worth, and to feel good all on my own! This time I realize this becoming healthy and happier is a lifetime lesson and lifelong effort!

    Hello All! I've been battling as well but determined this time around. Battled cancer all of 2015 but now there is light at the end of the tunnel. I want to lose 100 pounds as well. Right now 92 to go! Would love to add friends in the same boat or be added!

    Hi everyone, sounds like I'm not on my own! I've battled with my weight forever, going from underweight child to chubby teenager, then battling with bulimia for about 8 years to a now hideously overweight mum of two. My 4 yr old cried yesterday because she doesn't want to be fat like me apparently - so definitely time to do something! I've got about 60lbs to lose and would really appreciate some friends to do it with!

    I also would like to lose 70 lbs. to go from my current weight of 195 lbs. to 125 lbs., which is still on the chubby side for my height of 5'2"! I, too, have struggled with being overweight for most of my adult life and was a chubby overweight kid as well.... so much pain in my teenage years because of it! I enjoyed about 3-4 years of normal healthy weight in college, got married, had my precious babies-8 (!), and ended up at 215 lbs. as my top non-pregnant weight! I would go on diets and lose 10 here and there and gain it back around Christmastime! UGH! At one point I lost about 45-50 lbs. by just eating when I felt my stomach growl and stopping when just satisfied. Although this seemed to work, it didn't seem sustainable for the long run. But, it did teach me a few things, like, I don't have to clean my plate; I don't have to eat a full meal (half of what I want); I can share my food (there is always more); I should eat what tastes good to me (within reason); food is for fuel not comfort, love, etc....find other sources for those things! These ideas kept me from continuing to gain for the next 18 yrs., but I also wasn't willing to go the extra step and stop loving food, give up the sugar, and exercise regularly! On MFP, I am measuring my weight loss from 210 lbs. which is what I had been at for awhile. I am very serious this time, too, and have found that not only is eating a healthy (whole, natural, unprocessed) well balanced (stay away from bad carbs, but include fruit and whole grains along with low fat protein and fiber) low calorie (I am shooting for around 1200/day, but usually eat less) diet an important thing, but EXERCISE is a KEY component as well! They go together like PB&J! I plan to go to the gym 6 days/week because there is always things that come up, like today I am sick...so no gym! I usually do the elliptical for 1.5-2 miles in 30-40 min. and then weight training on the machines and dumbbells. My husband and I sometimes go an extra time and just do 3 more miles on the elliptical, usually on weekends right now but trying to find a way to go in the early morning...kinda tough since he is a night owl! He has to lose about the same amount as me, so that makes it nice that we are partners in this! I would love to "friend" any of you ladies that would like encouragement/support! I need it, too! Together we WILL make it! Have a fabulous day! :)

    Same here. Have lost big amounts in the past only to gain it all again.
    Just got engaged a few days ago and am planning a wedding for next September. I refuse to wear a big sized dress and would love to look and feel confident and beautiful.
    Back on this diet now with a vengeance ☺

    I'm looking to lose about 50 to 60. I've started this journey many times but have never followed through and usually give up early on. This time I'm committed!

    You can add me! I've lost 20lbs so far, but want to lose about 50-60lbs more. I don't really have my heart set on a number, I'll see how I feel when I get closer.

    I don't really need or want to lose 50 pounds; my original weight loss goal was 40 pounds. But hey, it'd be nice to have slim fingers again. And to wear mini skirts. So I'll see how I feel once I get nearer to my goal. Please add me. I want ALL THE FRIENDS ;)
