Introduce yourself and your goals

Hi! My name is Dena. Currently I am 137 lbs and I want to get down to 118 as my initial goal. I am only 5 feet so my current weight is a lot. I had gotten down to 118 a couple of years ago going gluten and dairy free. It was too hard and I went back to eating everyone and ended up where I am now. I've now found out through a blood test that I have gluten and dairy intolerances so no more games for me.

Hi, my name is Maria. I'm down to a fluctuating 200-205 and breastfeeding a 3 month old. I also have a 17 month old toddler. My goal is to get down to 150 by September, but I'm hoping to get down to 175 by the beginning of summer. I ended my most recent pregnancy at 230 in the end of November so I've already come a good ways.

Hi all! My name is Ashley and I am excited to join this group and get back on track with mfp. I have lost about 30 lbs since the school year started in August and have slacked off. I would love to lose 20 lbs by June (end of school year) and just have a fun, healthy summer. Feel free to add me as a friend and I love any talking, competitions, etc.

Excited for the next few months together!

Hello Everyone! I'm Wyn. I'm looking to loose 40lbs. My husband is away with work so having to walk my son to and from the bus stop has motivated me to figure out this weight loss thing. I'm forcing myself to eat food. I generally only eat one meal a day and maybe one snack. So getting up and walking 1.5 miles and then eating breakfast, lunch and then walking another 1.5 miles and eating dinner. It's going slowly, but we shall see.

My name is Shannon. I am looking to lose 40 pounds total in 2016. I am hoping to lose 20 pounds by June 2016. The extra pounds of post pregnancy fat (my son is now 5) has caused my joints ache, fatigue, high blood pressure, and overall uncomfortable in my body feeling. With accountability and support my goal can be met and maintained, gaining my healthy self back. Thank you for this group.

I am on misfit if anyone else's.

Hi,
I'm Cornelya. I would like to drop 12 lbs by April 30th without crash dieting. I have been sedentary for the last two years and put on 15 lbs. I weighed myself on Thursday for the first time in more than a year (147). At least I won't do that again. I plan to weigh myself a few times a week, drink at least 75 ounces of water most days. I already cut out alcohol with the exception of an occasional glass of wine or beer. I have been wearing a pedometer and hope to consistently reach 10,000 steps by week three. I really want to be physically fit and healthy so that I can be free of hypertension medication. Let's kick this weight to the curb!

Hi my name is Arianna. Right now I'm about 20lb overweight and 40lb from my goal weight. I'm here because I'm making a healthy life style change. Recovering from Binge eating disorder, vegetarian, and working to heal myself from the inside out (:

FergyGirl2016 · February 2016

Hi I'm Fergy (nickname). Too embarrassed to post a real photo. Joined MyFitnessPal today.

My current weight as of this morning is 220 1/2 pounds. This is the most I have ever weighed, in my entire life. My height is 5' 5". Basically I look like a beachball.

It's embarrassing and ridiculous and unhealthy. I hardly go out of the house anymore.

I am an over-50s grandmother and would like to find diet buddies who are also over-50s grandmothers. It's been impossible to find a diet buddy who I have anything in common with.

My desperate longing is to get fit and healthy, to be able to run and play with my grandchildren ages 10 years old and 5 years old.

I am discouraged and depressed about this situation. Thanks for listening.

MrsSweetT · February 2016

Hi! My name is Tara and I need to lose about 80 lbs. I believe I am an emotional eater that loves sweets, breads and sodas! I've hit at this weight loss journey a dozen or more times and hope this will be the time that I succeed. I just want to be a healthy weight, to look good and feel good about myself w/o feeling self-conscious about certain clothes that I would like to wear.

nvygrl · February 2016

I'm Sonya. Since my mom got sick in 2010, my weight has gone up from stress and worry for my mom. Two Christmases ago I started this app and by September last year, I lost 50 pounds. However, the day after Thanksgiving, my mom went to the hospital and was on life support. December 15th, she passed away. Since her passing I have gained back 30 pounds in two months. My mom would not want me this unhealthy!!! I am doing it for me and my mom.

kaniob · February 2016

Hi, I'm Kara. I started this venture when I hit 204. I'm down to 191, and have been stuck there since December. Holidays and all...at least I maintained instead of gaining! Ultimate goal is to be at 155... I really want to get out of the "overweight" bracket of the BMI chart! 20 by June will get me about halfway to my goal. I run consistently a few times a week, but I think I've hit a plateau there and need to push myself harder.
