Looking to start up a weight loss group

Im looking forward to loss weight to be health. im only 19 years old and i've been over weight for the last ten yrs. due from taking medication and eating junk food.:sad:

current =152.5

short term (april 10) =134

short term goal ( june 21) =116

long term goal =110 :drinker:


i've been looking for a support group.
i found this website by mistake.

I'd love to join in!!

I've always struggled with my weight & after 2 babies I really needed to do some work!! I got serious here at MFP in Dec 08 & was able to drop 22 lbs. I am currently 178 & would love to be 160 by May. I think it's possible! I'll need you all here to help me though!! I look forward to checking in with you all next Saturday!

Have a great week! :drinker:

Hey, I am in....the more I get committed, the better chance that is.....ohhh I mean committed to losing weight, not "being" committed

I'm in too even though I'm reading this on Sunday.

I lost one pound this week and weigh 163. I want to go down to 135 or abouts. It's hard to tell when you've been overweight for much of your life what you should weigh or what you want to get down to.

My goal is to lose one pound a week, I'm the type of person that will get discouraged if I set my goal higher and don't meet it each week, I know from experience. So that's about 15 pounds to May 15th.

Here we go!!! :bigsmile:

I'm in. Start 154.8, Present wt, 145. Goal 135 by May. Keep me away from sugar!!!!

Hello everyone

I've been heavy my entire life, I used to keep myself between 220 and 250 but things changed in my mid twenties when it became apparent there was something wrong with my feet. Turns out I have really flat feet and heal spurs. I used to crawl to the bathroom in the morning, I am doing a little better now that I know what the issue is, but my weight is currently 309 pounds.

It's been difficult for the past few years, and I really should consider surgery to have the spurs removed, Especially the one on the left foot, as it's a big one.

I bought the ten minute trainer and I can't believe the amount of sweating you do in ten minutes. Tony Hortin is a genuis.

Any ways, I'm looking for some support here. It's difficult at times and I swing shifts which makes it more difficult and I tend to get hyphoglemic symptoms at 4.3, usually if I don't eat when I get the symptoms I get worse at the hours go by until I hit to the point where I can't even eat, I force myself to eat something before dropping into a complete deep sleep.

I really need help.

OOOH I wanna join! is it too late?

Today's WI 214.2

Short Term goal = 210 or 10% by March 1st (yes I am a WW'er)
Next goal = 189 by May 15th (one week before our anniversary cruise to Alaska)

I started a modified WW/South Beach plan 7 weeks ago after my doc said "Make a CHANGE NOW". I have eliminated all bread from my diet and limit potato/rice/pasta to one meal a week. I learned to eat fish and feel like a rabbit some time with all the salads I am eating. But you know what? Each time I make that choice to eat healthy...I feel empowered and that keeps me doing it!

Together...we can do it!

I have a team created on Biggest Loser League (FREE)
bll.nbc.com
Team: Athletes in Training
Maybe this might help?? I've battled weight my whole life....but always been athletic....just have had setbacks....Avoiding health problems is my goal...rather than losing weight....pounds are numbers, not health...granted we use them for progress, but I don't care how I look like, I just care how I feel and exercise makes me feel great! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Hope everyone reaches their goals!

I would like to participate. I just started yesterday and won't weigh in until next Monday. I was always a skinny Minny (really skinny) until around the age of 40 I started to put on the weight. I have successfully lost is twice only to gain more back. This is the most I've ever weighted and it's embarrassing. I know how to do it but I have to learn to keep it off. Good luck to all of us, let's see this through!

Starting Weight 197
Goal for 5-15 175
End Goal 145

I'd like to join in, too!

I lost 70lbs in 2006 and gained most of it back in 2008. I binge at night BADLY and I have depression and emotionally eat regularly. I'm getting married on May 23rd so this group would be really helpful for me!

CW: 180.8
GW: I have no idea...way less than 180.8 I hope!

Hi all,

I'm a day late with my check in. :blushing:

I lost one pound this week and now weigh 162 :bigsmile:

Good luck to everyone this week

Checking in...
Down only .6 and am kinda bummed. This is the first time in 8 weeks that I have lost less than a lb. I know it is still a loss...so I know you will say that. But it is a let down. But I also know that we ate differently this week...too many servings of pasta, potatoes or rice. So I am back to once a week on those trigger foods.

Last Week 214.2
This week 213.6

Have a great Saturday and a super week!
Alice

I hope its not to late to join in?

My long term goal is 130 i forgot to mention that.
