Looking to lose about 70 pounds, who's in with me?

Hey guys! Me, too. I'm 6'1" and 330 pounds. I'd like to weigh under 300 pounds - for my first goal. Then, 250. Then, 225. That should be a good weight for me as a 51 yo. I find it difficult to stay on track... I don't eat, exercise, nor drink lots of water with consistency. I must develop stronger WHY's.

I'm with you as well. I'm 5'7 and 222. I feel awful but just seem to have no willpower. I have to stop doing this to myself. Looking for sons accountability buddies.

I would like to join you guys, could really use the support along with a desire tondo this with others.

I would love to join too. I just started over again and would love to exchange encouragement and ideas.

Please, please add me too, mom to 4, 182 pounds, 30 pounds to loose after the last child, I am 5"8'. So tired of starting over and over again, need motivation, no friends to motivate around me:( , just a lot of food

Added :-)

Totally down! Let's do this!!

Hey y'all...looking to do the same...completely new to this type of community, so you may have to hold my hand. I'm tracking everything in hopes of putting a dent in my 70 before surgery in February. Not sure how to do friend requests or anything else -- is this easier on your mobile device?

Hi, I'm new to Fitnesspal. I'm 5'4.5" and about 230. Want to get to 185 early next year, then 160 in future. For me, losing is easier than maintaining. I lost 50 in 2014 and 2015 by walking up to 25 miles a week, along with swimming and hiking, and counting calories, cutting out carbs and keeping a food diary. Then I got sick and inactive, lost my BodyMedia activity tracker due to them quitting, quit logging my food, started eating "normally" meaning carbs, and put it all back on plus 10 extra. I really want to work on lifestyle change, and my fitbit is helpful; walking or some form of regular calorie burn is a must, but no carbs permanently is difficult for my lifestyle with teenagers and a husband who loves carbs. When I log my food and move more, I am lucky to lose weight.

So I have lost 6 lbs this month so far and hope to learn how to permanently live an active lifestyle (again) and not just give up if I have health challenges or lose my activity tracker.

Best of luck to all.

Hi!! I'm new here, I'm 5.6 and about 220. I wish to lose at least 70 pounds. I'm looking for motivated friends with who I will be able to share ideas, meals, workouts etc. Feel free to add me, I can't wait to change my life with you Pals!!

OP - I'm 5-6.5 and started at 220. I lost 70 pounds in 2016, and have about 15 to go (goal 130). I have one piece of advice that you can take or leave.........this whole thing will suck and will not work if you're always hungry. Set MFP to lose 1 pound a month and roll with it. This is the SECOND time I've lost 70 pounds, so I know the drill. You don't have to be perfect all the time, just mostly good and patient.

I'm motivated! I'm wanting to lose 100lbs this year I just started all this so feel free to add me

No matter what you do, always stay focused. You will reach your goal. I'm on the same path. Good luck

What is the "demand"...? Someone said to mention the demand post.
As you can tell, I am new here...and desperate to begin. I have always been a great starter...but now, as 2016 is coming to an end, I can no longer even give myself credit for being a great starter....I am finding it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to get started.

I have joined the gym..approx 6 weeks ago...I have been maybe 4x. I am tired all the time....

How do I, ..do we, get started?
