Wow!! I'm 185 looking to get to 135. Here's to meeting all our expectations!!

Tubbs216 · May 2016

I started at 185, now at 140 and hoping to lose another 5lbs. Start, be patient and stick with it, and you will get there too. Good luck!

Hey Tubbs216 how long did it take you to lose the 45lbs? Also congrats on so much weight loss already! Could you tell me your workout and diet plan?

Mini_Medic · May 2016

You can both do it! I was 173 at my highest, currently 138. It really can be done, just stick to your plan and don't give up even if you have small derailments along the way. It's easy to be overwhelmed and have an all or nothing mentality. Instead of looking at it as 50 lbs, each time you hit a new 10 lb park 179, 169, 159 etc you will be motivated seeing a new low and seeing yourself meet a short term goal. Good luck!

I am up to 181 lbs and looking to go down to 147 lbs.....When I stick to it....I eat slightly under my 1200 calories per day, keep slightly under all the macro's that MFP has set up for me, I walk 30 minutes a day and drink 4- 16.9 oz bottles of water each day...at night I set aside 10 minutes to use my 5 lbs weights or jump rope/hula hoop. this method really works for me to lose 2 lbs each week, my issue is getting derailed by silly things and my love of sweets! So yesterday I started again...and feel awesome already! Feel free to add me for support!

I am at 175 and looking to be at 140. I am currently on a green detox to jumpstart my weightloss and help me crush my cravings. So far, its working as I started out at 186. I am interested in mealplans, exercise ( currently walk for 4 - 5 miles daily). Lets share or buddy up.

I started around 180 and am down to 130. You can do it. Slow and steady wins the race. I've lost about a pound a week so it took me about a year to get here.

__leis__ · June 2016

Hi, my highest weight was 210, I'm currently 191, my goal is in the 130 range also. You got this! The first few weeks of logging can be a bit tedious but it becomes second nature after about a month.

SezxyStef · June 2016

When I came to MFP I was 180...I am currently about 150 (in maintenance range for my 145 normal weight).

It took me just over a year to lose it...and I have maintained this for 2 years...give or take 5lbs here and there.

I did get down to 140 last summer but wasn't willing to stay there.

Tameda30 · June 2016

I'm at 177 trying to get down to 115(I'm 5'1"). I am planning on meal prepping and using free you tube workouts to get in my exercise. I'm focusing on my measurements this summer and am not going to weigh in or measure until September 1st. I find that I get vey discouraged by the scale. Feel free to add me, I'd love to share ideas.

Congratulation on your first day!

Back in Feb 2015, I started at 173 and today I'm weighing in at 127. You can do this! Keep true to yourself. If you have a bad day don't let it linger into the next day. My first two months were the big losses so don't get discourage if you have smaller losses for the remainder journey. They all add up at the end. Gather a great network of friends to encourage and support. Good luck in your journey and most of all enjoy yourself! If I would of known how enjoyable it was, I would of joined years ago

You go get 'em!!

itsthehumidity · June 2016

You can do it. Just be prepared for days/weeks that don't go well. Progress will be very fast for a few days, then seem to reverse, then be very slow. That's all normal, and happens to all of us. Weight jitters up and down throughout the process, and that can be very frustrating, but you can be losing fat steadily the whole time.

Others may start heavier and end lighter than you. That's ok. I have lost 30 pounds (185-155) over the course of about 2.5 years. Much slower than some others, but that's my journey. I seem to cave in to cheat meals/days a little too often, and lag behind those who are more disciplined. I don't beat myself up for it too much.

My point is, be patient and methodical, and don't expect too much too quickly. Weight loss is a great application of "slow and steady wins the race."

Zella_11 · June 2016

You can do this! Take each day as it comes, make sure you eat up to your MFP calorie limit to eat in a calorie deficit, be patient with yourself and the process, and celebrate each small success. You got this!

rescuemom27 · June 2016

I actually am 4 lbs away from achieving it! you can do it too!

Pommom128 · June 2016

I'm at 186..the heaviest I've ever been!..I started yesterday.& my goal weight is 130 also..I know it won't be a quick loss..but I'm determined to stick with it no matter how long it takes! I have to..because I'm so uncomfortable in my own skin..to think only 3 years ago I was 128!!!!

clairelouisenewton · June 2016

Oh yippee there's others like me too!!!! I started at 303 2 1/2 weeks ago and slow and steady will get me there.
Feel free to add me!!

ldelgad62 · June 2016

I'm 177 and wanting to get to 130 good luck to us all guys!!

ElizabethOakes2 · June 2016

WOOT! GO YOU! And to everyone else on this thread in the same boat.
That's where I started- at 179, looking way down there at that illusive 130.
And I know it seems really really far away right now, but in six months, you'll be where I am (148) and thinking, "This isn't so hard after all. I can really do this!"

My biggest advice is to set some short goals so you don't get discouraged- like 20 pounds at a time, and set some goals that have nothing to do with the scale, like being able to walk two miles in a half-hour, or resting heart-rate down five points. That way, on weeks when the scale isn't budging, you can look at your fitness goals and see the progress you've made.
