When I was saying that nobody will be left behind, I meant it.
We have to get to know each other a little.
Do you want to do it or stay anonymous?

Hi my name is Mitsi. I am 32 years old. I am (deep intake of breath) 219.4 lbs and my first goal is to get to 200. I can't wait to get to know everyone and to cheer you on as we hash all this out together.6

Yay! I figured out how to get into the group! I'm Valerie, I'm a chef, and I'm six feet tall and *was* 247 when I started logging stuff here. I had lost down to 241.6 before I left home to work. I cook in a remote man camp for oilfield workers on the North Slope in Alaska. I make tons of yummy bad foods (I'm the breakfast cook/baker) but on the other hand I have access to a huge salad bar that somebody else preps, and there are usually healthy options for meals. Also we have a gym in the camp. Tools are available--I just have to use them6

I'm Hopal, I started at 222 in December. I really started getting serious about weight loss in January, and I am now down to 200.4. (almost in onederland!!) This is the first time I've lost so much weight at one time, before I just seemed to keep packing it on. My goal weight is 145, and I am 5'9, 32 years old.

I'm Kylee! When I gradated high school in 2013 (yes i'm a young one!) I weighed 150 pounds. After I moved out of mom and dad's shortly after I started eating out almost all the time and putting whatever I want in my mouth. I got up to 193 and just sobbed about it. Well now its time to buck up and do something about it! I'm 188lbs and 5'5 and want to reach 150 by the end of October for my big family cruise!

Hi friends
I'm Lisa, from upstate NY. I'm 53, and 216.5 pounds in a 5 foot 4 inch frame.
I started in again January but my heart wasn't in it. March is really when I began, since then I have lost 10 pounds.
Its gonna be slow for me to lose, I don't get as much exercise as a want and need. I have a knee replacement scheduled for June 13. I want to get as much off as possible.4 -
Hello,
I joined MFP a while back, using it on-and-off, but have never participated in a group. I joined my first group earlier this morning, but it doesn't appear to be active. When I came across this group, and read some of your posts, I got excited! I look forward to being part of the fun and encouragement that we can offer each other.
My name is Maggie. I am 51, and 5'2." My goal is to lose 30-35 lbs. I lost 17 last year, and managed to gain them all back, plus tax.
I'm married, have three adult children and currently care for my parents full-time. (Stress)
Looking for friends who would like to walk with me on this journey. (You'll notice I didn't say run! Lol!)3 -
Hello everyone,
I'm Shawna, from Toronto, Canada, 27 years old, and stand at 5'6". My heaviest weight was about 180lbs. In 2014, thanks to MFP, I was able to drop 30lbs and get down to 150.
At the beginning of 2015 I dropped to 146, where I felt happy. But unfortunately, towards the end of the year, I fell into depression and begun eating my feelings.
I restarted my weight-loss journey on April 7th 2016. I work out at the gym 4 or more times per week for 45-75 mins per session, and incorporate plenty of water, fruit and vegetables into my diet. Since then, I have lost 6lbs, I am currently 168lbs. My goal is to get down to 140 by July 1st (lose approx. 10lbs per month). I finally feel committed and ready to get the body I deserve, and boy do I feel it coming!!3 -
Hi everyone,
My name is Alyssa! I'm 23 years old, 5'7" and currently weight 209.8 pounds. My heaviest weight (that I know of) was 235 in April 2015. I started switching to drinking iced green tea (no sweetener) every day rather than my Starbucks lattes and when I started law school in the fall, I was 225.
I got down to like 218 and was right back up to 226 when I decided to use MFP at the end of February (a close friend has lost 76+ pounds).
Anyways, I'm a full time student and have a goal weight of 150 by end of December of this year in time for my big family vacation (60 pounds to go!). It's a hefty goal, but I'm loving how motivated I am!4 -
We will do it!
60 lbs will be gone!1 -

Heya everyone!!
I'm Krissy. I've been a member of MFP for four years but never really used it until recently. I'm 28, with three kiddos ten and under. Between the age of 15 and 24 I weighed just about 200 lbs, then the past four years it slowly increased to the 250s. I'm lost a bit and am down to 241. My long term goal is 150lbs.3 -
Hi, I'm Phyllis. I'm 36 from southern New Jersey. I've been on MFP for a couple years, off and on but have taken logging food and exercise seriously at the end of last year. I am currently 263 pounds, looking to lose 30 pounds by my birthday (July 31st). I'm into clean eating and recently cut out flour, sugar, and alcohol from my diet.3

I didn't read the instructions when I posted--I gave you the start weight (247) and current (241.6) but I didn't say we are aiming for 165. So, 82 pounds total. I set a goal of 2 pounds a week. This should happen by January 15, 2017.
