Good morning,
I would like to lose 8 lbs, if I could lose 10 that would be fantastic.
I keep falling off the wagon but hopefully this time I will be able to stick to my goal.
I got a treadmill recently and am running again every other day. (I do Yoga every morning).
Sticking to the right amount of calories is a true problem for me. I'm always hungry!!!
Anyway, please add me, and here are my stats:
5'2"
121.8 lbs
40 years old.
My goal is to lose 0,5 lb a week so I could be 114 by the end of May.
My goal for February is to lose 2 lbs - and end this month at 119-120 lbs
Best luck to all!

I'm new to the MFP community/group page and am looking to lose 10-15 pounds, too! Started a new job not too long ago and want to get a handle on the weight gain before it gets out of hand! Add me too, please!0

I would also like to lose 8-10 pounds. Or more accurately, I would just like my belly to not hang over my pants.That's a new development and I don't like it. I do small group training 3-4 times a week. I used to do a lot of walking and yoga and really need to get back in that groove again.

I've been creeping upwards and will be losing 5lbs. Found myself noshing more since turning 50yrs. No longer comfortable in my clothes. It's as if I've developed this "padding" around my middle. Slow and steady I agree..... What are some plans on achieving your goal? I've started doing more yoga in the evening. I've also taken out the food scale again to re educate myself. Since coming back to MFP I've shocked myself!!1

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!
Sleep and diet are the two most important things for weight loss/management. Exercise comes in third. Therefore, putting more exercise into the week without examining your sleep/diet might not be the best route to go. Don't stress over this. Sounds like you've been here before..... You say you've done this before. Breath deeply and be that gal again.0 -
Please someone answer this question. Why do we ask to be added to this support? Who are we asking? Why are we asking? Is there some process I don't know about?0

I agree to set low. At least a little higher and it grabs my attention. So I guess I'm within the range. Well maybe not.... Not feeling it lately anyway.0 -

Same here. 54 and finding it hard to maintain. I lose and get to my goal weight then let myself slip until I've put it right back on. Usually no more than 8 lbs but it all goes to my belly. Oh if it would only go to my boobs!0 -

I think they are asking to be added as a friend so they can communicate without being in a group. Then if they want they can allow you to see their food diary etc if they choose.

Speaking of boobs, if only a little more on the left I'd be happy........
I'm 51 and have the cycle of gain a little, lose a little. Amazing how easy it is to pick up those lbs (overnight even) and how long (weeks) to shed it.
All this being said, please add me.
Thanks for responding.....0 -

You have very realistic goals. I applaud you for that. Over the long haul, sounds like you'll be fine. I'd love to hear how you are doing with this. I did well in my 40's. Now in my 50's. Now I'm having to rein in on food intake which sucks bcs I love food.1 -

I finally asked why it was we are asking to be added. Added to what? Anyway, I too have only logged in caloric intake (depressing) and decided to see what everyone else is up too. So now when posts ask to be "added", they mean to add as friends so you're not lost among all the other posts. Now where to add "friends" or how, I'm not sure. However, if you make that discovery, add me bcs I am floundering out here on my own. Then you can tell me how you did it!0 -
Please add me. I am 60 and at 145, want to get to 135. I work out regularly and have been trying to be consistent about logging. But food is where I can use the support. I am good but not good enough
Not good enough Here, here. As I've gotten older, my food consumption too needs to adjust (less of it). Finding it difficult most days. It calls to me....
Perhaps if we share what's going on in our lives, the edges will soften, the inner room mate will silence, we can then relax and not fear the kitchen.0 -

It's become evident over time that eating a low calorie diet and doing a lot of exercise is not working for me. Time to change my mindset.
Oh yea. The mindset. It changed on me about a year ago. Exercise more, eat less.... didn't work for me either. I know taking away (whatever form, food, time to work out, etc.) scares my inner room mate and she forces me into the kitchen or away from working out. Once I become mindful again, she's on the couch napping and I'm left with the consequences. I could bash her over the head yet this makes for an even more in grained cycle. I know what not to do..... So do tell, what is your plan?0 -
I can do fairly well during the week and then Friday! Date Night! Oh, then Sunday! Brunch with bottomless mimosas! Oh no! A weekend in Napa or Calistoga! Those are the things I need to learn I can do but I can still eat and drink in a mindful fashion. (need to learn, need to learn, need to learn....)1

Let's not forget the husband who arrives with Dunkin Donuts bringing all your favorite kinds. Mean while..... I'm cooking up chicken parm and downing a bottle of wine. All the while the "good" in me saying "don't do it" and the darker side "enjoy yourself". When I was dating staying thin was easy and of course it would! Impress. Now? Boundaries have been dissolved. "You look fine." "I love you no matter what." No! No! No!
Anyway, I'm not even going to continue to log in tonight. What's the point......
There's always tomorrow.1 -
I'm in the same boat, can't lose a stubborn 15 rather than 10 though. Am 5'5", 153 lbs and want to get down to 138 at least. So hard with a skinny BF who can eat junk all day long! Tons of snacks in the house. Add me if you are in a similar boat, I need easy recipes/tricks/motivation.0

Gotcha! Same here. Hubby eats craps and remains the same. The mere smell puts weight on me. I'm all for motivation and accountability. For starters, if you are talking to me, click the blue "quote" below my post and you'll come up below me. Concerning how to "add", I'm not sure. Some where you can "add friends". Then we can see each others "menu for the day". I've been moving towards a raw life style/whole food approach. It's been slow but for example for smoothies I'll add black beans/banana. For my clam chowder the base here is white beans instead of heavy cream. Even my coffee creamer is made of cashews. Some might find this odd but there is a whole new world of eating and it's been an adventure.0 -
Same starting weight and same goal weight! Feel free to add me. I can use all the motivation.0

In the last month I put on 3lbs. Every morning, there it is. Why? I've been raiding my kitchen for no reason. It's not much but clothes are snug. Anyone ever just go off deep end and panic!! Time to take back control.0
-
Anyone can add me too. I've got 8-10 to lose that I gained in the last 6 months. 5'7, 135 now. Goal: 125. Feeling a bit heavy and chubby, its gotta go!0
-
Feel free to add me! I'm 34, 5'5" and current hovering around 147. I have two kids, a 13 year old and a 1 year old, and now that my daughter is 1 I can no longer call this baby weight! Since December I've been lifting weights 3 times/week, running 3 times/week, doing pilates 2 times/week, and HIIT once a week and I've seen a lot of progress, so it's working! I've also been dabbling in the 5:2 way of eating and I really enjoy it, but it's not for everyone. I'm extremely athletic and muscular, so I don't want to lose more than 10-12lbs, and only need to lose 7 to get to my pre-baby weight.0

Anyone can add me. Perhaps some how we can inspire, remind, motivate. Even challenge one another. Instead of the kitchen for therapy, we hit the key board.0

Add me!! I'm 38, 5'5"...I lost about 35 lbs last year and have kept it off for 6 months. This was my initial goal weight, I was just choosing a number out of thin air, so now I'd like to lose about 10 more lbs., but really focus on losing the fat % and tone up. I'm working out more regularly than I ever have before and do feel stronger which is encouraging. I appreciate the motivation from women like you! Good luck, we can do it!0

I would like to lose 18 lbs.. I'm at 133 last time I weighed myself and I would like to be 115.... I'm only 4'8''. By medical standards I should be like 100 lbs but I would look sickly. 115lb is a good healthy weight for me. 0

You're right! I have taken a break from tracking my food as I was having trouble this winter. I needed diet break and my goal was to just maintain in Jan and Feb and also enjoy the holidays and a winter vacation. Now I'm back and motivated to finally loose the 15 pounds that have been haunting me. I'm also motivated by a friend's Las Vegas bachelorette party in May that I'm invited to.
My sleep is pretty good, but my diet can always use some work. I get lots of protein but it's always the office treats that get me - cookies, chips, pizza etc. It's a bad office for that and then there's the drinking on the weekend. It's not a lot but even a couple of beers or a glass of wine can add up to extra calories really quickly. I think I will start to monitor treats and alcohol more closely and try to get a bit more exercise in on the weekend because it's so easy to just chill on a Saturday and Sunday. Thanks for the motivation!!
