Wanting to Lose 10 - Are you like me? Add me!

Hi everyone! Happy Holidays

I am about 141 lbs and I'm hoping to get back down to around 130. I've been at this weight and lower before, but some of my poor eating habits have caused me to gain weight in recent months. I know that I am not overweight, but I do not feel like I am my best physical self at this weight.

I would like support around staying within my calorie budget. I have set my calories to fall between 1700 and 1800 a day. I know that this calorie window will make my weight loss happen more slowly, but I need to have a calorie goal that is sustainable and doable. I'm very active in and outside of my job. I think that a lower calorie goal would send me into binge mode at night and I can't have that. Slow and steady for me.

If you have similar goals like to team up please add me!

    Hi All! Sort of new... 5'3 130lbs size 0 jeans. I'm very muscular. My goal now is to decrease body fat instead of losing pounds. I'm eating around 1700-2000 cals daily depending on how intense my workouts are. I Was 155lbs and a size 8 jeans about 2 years ago.

    Yes me too. I am currently 131, looking to be 120-125. I'm very active and I run. I use a Fitbit Charge HR and sync to MFP. I currently am aiming at about a deficit of 300 per day which gives me about 1800-2000 calories. Please add me.

    Glad I found this group! I'm 42, 5'3", and at 115 lbs. as of yesterday, trying to get down to 105 lbs. I did it back in 2014, and stayed there for over a year and a half. Now, I'm trying to get back (moved twice in less than 3 months, so it was kind of stressful, and now we live in a town where seafood and eating out are SO tempting! Anyway, I set my NET calories (not total for the day) to 1000 on MFP. I usually eat around 1300-1400 a day. Trying to make my size 4 pants a bit more comfy.

    Feel free to add me as a friend on MFP and on Garmin Connect (scbell5 is my profile name on both).

    Please add me! Holiday weight 132, pre-holiday 123-127 range want to be 120-125. My biggest temptation is alcohol on weekends. Working on cutting that out. Ugh!

    I'm 37, 5'4". Last year I lost 58 pounds (193 to 135) but then the holidays happened and I went from 135 to now 142 :(
    I want to get back to 135, maybe even 130. I feel so disappointed in myself - I actually went clothes shopping for the first time last month and bought a bunch of new clothes that are now feeling pretty snug on me (I went from size jeans 34 to 27, and size 1X to size small) i'm worried they might not fit soon.
    I have absolutely 0 support from friends and family - they have told me even as far back to when I was 193, that I didn't need to lose weight even though clearly - I did. It's like they want me to fail, it's so frustrating. The last 10 pounds were the hardest to lose :(
    I have a fitbit charge HR to try to keep motivated to keep moving. I'm going to start the free fitstar online personal training sessions again and I even signed up for a fitness meetup group that is meeting for the first time this afternoon at a Tim Hortons (equivalent to dunkin' donuts if you are in the US), which i find is kind of strange seeing as it's supposed to be a fitness group...since it's the 1st meeting, i'm assuming they just want to do a 'get to know you better' kind of meeting first before getting into the fitness stuff, but they could have chose a better meeting spot, in my opinion. There are 12 people signed up for it so far so hoping to get support from that group too.

    feel free to add me too, i have 10-15 more lbs to go to reach my goal weight of 140 lbs. my diary is open and set to 1250 cal, but i don't weigh every single thing so probably eat a bit higher. having it set low helps me keep everything in check tho.

    Super grateful to find all of you - same boat! I'm at 137 right now - from a high of 147 last year. Did an Arbonne diet, clean eating and calorie counting and dropped to 134, but the holidays - wow they tasted good! My goal weight is 130. I'm in a band and perform, and it's painful to see pictures in the world that aren't flattering when I know I could do better...not to mention this is for my health and happiness! Here's to all of us helping each other - we can do it! Please feel free to add me.

    Yes, those 10 lbs are sooooo difficult! Most people don't understand. So happy to read everyone's story. I am very interested in joining this group as I have been fighting those 10 lbs for ~ 8 years. Prior to that I was able to maintain my normal weight. I am now over 50 and closing in on 60. Never thought this age thing would be a problem. My activity is not as high as it use to be - so am working on that. Calories are key and my goal is 1500 per day but could probably be successful with 1600 kcals if I exercise 5 days per week. Please add me to this support!!!!

    Hi, feel free to add me, too! Middle age hit a few years back and I slowly creeped up (exacerbated by a foot injury and two international moves). When I started registering weights I hadn't seen since having my babies (four, who are now 14-23) I realized I either had to reconcile myself to this new version of me or fight it. I chose to fight it. :smile: I'm almost 47, 5'9" and about 141. Hoping to get back down to about 135 and gain muscle. Set my calories at 1400, diary is open. Looking at this as a lifestyle, not so much a diet at this point. So, no crazy restrictions, no foods off limits, just trying to be healthy and happy.

    I'm 5'4" and 39 years old and currently 143 with a goal weight of 135 or possibly 130 and my heaviest was 170. I lost 16 pounds from September to December and I'm finding January to be a tough month for weight loss. I'm not sure if I should just maintain for now and then try to loose the weight in the spring? I feel like I'm loosing motivation and need some more support. I go to the gym 5 times a week and do one dance class per week. I was thinking of adding some more cardio on the weekends and possible more yoga. I want to loose the weight, so please add me!
