    Hey there! I'd like to join! :) I've not lost any yet and have 20 to lose. Just starting (again). Trying to exercise at least 5 days a week - mostly walking/jogging, also videos, some weights and yoga. Calorie goal is 1200 (I'll eat more than that but my goal is after exercise the daily total will adjust back to that). Need to do this so I don't have to buy a new wardrobe, feel comfortable in my own skin, & can keep up with my kiddos!

I'm eating 1200-1500 a day and trying to do three gentle work outs a week with my knee which I'm just coming off a bad injury with. Trying to walk where instead of take the bus or car and working on doing yoga for ten minutes every night before bed! I'm definitely looking for the motivation!

    I would love to join. I'm really excited to do this with everyone! Thank you for making this post.

    I want to lose 20 lbs
    My goal is 1400 calories a day

    I am a very emotional eater. I am trying to get it under control. I am also taking online classes and I feel that every time I go to start a paper or homework I get up and walk to the kitchen even if I am not hungry.

    Please add me!

    I'm 60 years old, have lost 19 pounds, want to lose 25 more.

    I've set my macros to 1700 cal/day, 20% carbs, 35% fat, 45% protein. I've done this lower-carb target because I am trying to lose belly fat. These are targets, but mostly I want stay at or below the target calories. I would rather lose slower and be able to maintain the loss than to restrict calories more. I don't eat back any exercise calories.

    My food goals are to eat a whole, real food diet with minimal processed foods. I was diagnosed with cancer this year--I'm fine now---so a big goal is to really limit sugars and simple starches. Other personal goals include building a fitness by laying down a foundation of daily walking---no less than 30 min and aiming for 60 minutes. On top of that---yoga, dance, a little strength training.

    Thank you for starting this group!

I really hope to lose at least 5 - 8 pounds before my fifth wedding anniversary on May 21. I work out about 3 times a week for about 45 minutes.

    Hi, I would like to join if I'm not too late.

    CW: 215.4
    GW: 160
    Calories: 1400

    So far I've lost 5lbs since joining MFP April 1st. I would like to lose an additional 15lbs by May 31st.

    Started off the first few weeks getting 20-25,000 steps/day on my Fitbit. I was in a car accident last week which has really slowed my progress as I am sedentary on bed rest now... Still have control over what I'm eating though. Hoping through physiotherapy I'll be back to stepping 20,000 again by the end of May.
