Hey guys,

This is probably my 38374782th approach to weight loss and hopefully my last one. I realised I lack the support in order to stick it out and where else to find weight loss sidekicks than on MFP?

I'm looking to drop from 148lbs to 125 in 6 months (5'8" female).

Who's with me?

    In with you, I need the same amount, 5'3" and 146 lbs. feeling like a lost case. I can't break the sugar habit, what's your weakness?

    I'm looking to go from 168 to 130. Between having a baby and being put on steroids for my Crohn's disease I need to drop some LB's. Looking for buddies to help me with it.

    Please add me! And anyone else! I'm 45, have gained weight this past winter and am now 160, and want to get to 140. Even 135 if I can do it!! I need to cut back on wine and junk food and eat clean. I am also trying to work out 5 days a week! Let's DO THIS!!

    I can't afford a new wardrobe so weight loss is staring me in the face. And my ## number is the highest it's been in 5 years.

    5'4". 160 want to drop to 140.

    My problem is fitting in the routine of staying active around a full time job & kids and eating healthy with a family to feed.

    Not bad for someone who is over 105,136 years old! Assuming you started at year 0 but who is going to quibble over a couple of years! (yes that is pretty sad but that is how many years assuming you tried anew every day). Good luck with the weight loss!

    Just remember more important than the weight is the body fat. Don't kill the calories too fast or you will plateau and you can either exercise more or cut the calories further. If you cut them too far too fast you will not be able to go further. Fell into that trap last year where I broke my calorie intake to 1400 a day and training 7 days a week. I hit a plateau and from there was almost impossible to trim again.

    Am now back at 3000 calories a day based on macros and every two weeks I re-assess. Also I am only training 5 days a week. So down the line you get to play around when you hit plateaus.

    One more thing about the weight loss, remember you can change in extreme cases 3kg (6lbs) in a day based solely on water retention etc...

    There we go, a long winded way to say I am in the same boat as you trying for the bazillionth time to drop the weight but trying it a smarter way! :smile:

    Good luck again and keep us posted!

    I am fairly new to this (feels like it anyway haha) my starting weight was 141.40 pounds and I want to get to approx. 119 pounds. I have lost 4 pounds so far but in the approx. 55 days I have been using this, its my fitness which has improved dramatically! I haven't lost much weight due to too many cheat meals but I am back on track :) feel free to add me! be great to keep each other motivated :)

    Back at it again too -- 57 days strong of logging! Working out a few times a week even tho my job is very active. Looking to lose another 15 pounds to get down to around 160-165 by my wedding in May. Have been hanging around 180 for two years after losing the first 15 pounds. Moved three times now and getting to a place that's permanent to really attack this weight. Lifting and eating about 1900 calories right now :) Feel free to add me!!
