Looking to lose 20lbs!

rebabee

I'm 34yrs old, 5"7 and weighing in at 170lbs on a skinny day. I live in Southern California where bathing suit season lasts for 9months out of the year, so my goal weight is 150lb, hopefully with a little muscle tone. I've never tried to get accountability from online support, but I'm ready to try because it's easy for me to lose motivation by myself. I just got a Misfit activity tracker and already I've been moving more in trying to reach my daily goals. I'd really like to have some other friends on here that want to be healthy and active.

Hello I as well live in So Cal.. What area are you from? I'm currently at 159 and would like to loose at least 20 of the 30lbs I've put on this past year.. I could really use all the motivation I can get to stay on track...

I became severely depressed, I saw my doc, and he put me on an antidepressant which has, thank God, given me my life back. Unfortunately, it, also, gave me 50 lbs. that really didn't work well with my new couch potato lifestyle.

I hear you. I've had a lot of hormonal problems this last year and am on birth control, so I'm fighting with my body's chemistry too. The weight is really hard to get off. Before the bc I had previously lost 60lbs by eating well and exercise. After I started taking it, I gained back 15lbs and everything I did before wasn't working. My hormones also mess with my moods so I can get depressed and really unmotivated. That's why I started on here. I need the support and to be with people who feel the same. We can do this! If we are doing the right stuff, I have to think eventually being healthier is going to pay off on the scale... or at least in the dress size! Keep going!

I'm looking for a little accountability as well. I'm 5'8, currently weighing in at 177... My normal weight is 150-155, but 6 months of traveling and constant eating out has greatly affected my lifestyle. My goal is to be below 160 by mid June for a wedding, and ultimately to be between 145-155. I normally have a workout partner, but I'm currently in an environment where I don't have anyone because of work schedules and other factors...so I'm attempting to find some support through this app to help keep me on track. If anyone has similar goals please feel free to add me, I'd love to help us all keep each other motivated and strong.

Eating out and work scheduling are two of my problems as well. If I cook at home, I know what I'm eating (and I don't put a basket of bread or tortillas in front of myself as an appetizer!). And my days off are in the middle of the week while my friends are at work. I think this community will be good, though. It's motivating to see the updates... Soandso burned 200 calories at the gym. It sort of feels like having an accountability partner. Good luck on reaching your goals for that June wedding. You can definitely do it! And let me know if you have any good ideas about staying healthy while eating out.

Hi everyone! My overall goal is to lose 26 more pounds, but I'm hoping to lose 18 more pounds just in time for my cruise in August! I've always had a hard time staying motivated, especially in the past year, but it's great to see everyone on here motivating each other! I just started a kickboxing class recently, and I love it! If anyone has the time and a little extra money, it's a great way to workout and strengthen your body while burning fat! Good luck to everyone!

I have far too many pounds to lose. after a tough year last year I ballooned to 210 (I'm 5'7" and 35). would like to get to 185 by the beginning of July before heading on to my next goal. Please feel free to add me. am doing a weigh in with my parents each week but the more the merrier.
