    Please friend me. I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I'm new to MFP. I'm starting my first challenge August 1. I've got 129 pounds to loose. I love your idea of 10pound increments. What is your goal for August?

    Hey! My goal is 15-20 lbs for August. You can do this I promise.

    That is an energetic goal to loose 15-20 in a month! I am looking forward to helping you achieve that goal. How do you plan to do it? My weigh in day is a Tuesday. I'm looking forward to seeing if I've lost any weight this first week even though I haven't been trying. I just wanted to see where my problem areas are. I found three. I eat too many calories at dinner, I'm eating too much sugar. I can't remember my third problem area right now. I'll have to look at my food notes. My starting weight last week was 295.4 and my goal is 175 or less. For my height, 5'8", 175 is still considered overweight according to what I read from Mayo Clinic. After I get there I may have to re-evaluate and adjust my goal wt.

    Please add me. I've done it before and need to do it again due to medication and other factors after an illness.

    I've done it before as well. It sucks slowly watching the scale creep back up but regaining control is all that matters. adding you!

    Just wanted to second the suggestion to look at big weight loss goals in smaller chunks. I started a year ago with about 175 pounds to lose and so far has lost 122. It's really daunting and overwhelming to think of it all as one goal. I've found it easier to stay motivated thinking about the next 10-15 pound milestone.

    That's amazing!! Many Congratulations to you

    Got on the scale for the first time tonight in forever. Have about 150 to lose. Please add me

    Have no idea how to add you as a friend but feel free to send me a friend request. I'm at 295 and my goal is 175. I'm getting started August 1. I've been tracking this last week and have been able to identify three problem areas: snacks, sugar, too many calories at dinner. Hoping to improve those three areas as well as others.

    Ok today is day 1 of my August 30 day challenge. One of my goals is to work out Monday, Wednesday, & Friday. Today was Monday. I walked 1.01 miles in 30 minutes at 2 mph on the treadmill. My other goal for the month is to stay within my daily calorie allotment. I think I can do this! Time will tell.

    Hi there. I have a lot to loose. At least 100 pounds. I am trying to reduce the amount that I eat first, watch portions and try and control the Inge eating before starting to get the right food. I would love some friends to talk to. Xx

    I've got 120 pounds to lose. It's a long road, and I've been on it many times before, but I'm hoping to give it one more try. Would love to be added to the group. Good luck, everyone! :)

    Feel free to add me as well! Have over 100 to lose, started my journey (again) on June 23rd and am down 20 lbs. Minigoals that work for me are identifying previous weight milestones and surpassing those (ex: I was 280 when I moved back to Ohio; I was 245 when I participated in that fitness program at work; I was 230, when I went to the doctor, etc.) I know that I was once that weight and it helps me to think about being that size again. Also, I don't think I'm alone on this one, but I have a large section of "skinny clothes" in my closet/attic/garage. Some of them had even been slotted for donation. Pulling out old favorites and having them actually fit again is a HUGE motivation for me!!!!

    I've 90lbs I want off. Can I play in this sandbox. I really want to change the way I think about food. I've been fighting these battles for years. I want to win this war. Food is only fuel to live and I want to live better. I need food to have less power over.
