This is it! I have been messing around with this for way too long. I’m committed, I’m ready, I’m doing this!! 25lbs to go (GW of 135 and starting weight of 160)
I love to give and receive support from friends during weight loss!!
If you have the same goals, add me or I can add you, and we can support each other!

    Those aren't my goals, per say, but I would love to be down 25 lbs (or more!) by April. I've got a long way to go but I am super motivated and would love more accountability buddies.

    I had a baby in March and would like to get to at least pre baby weight by my baby's first birthday. That is about 15 pounds. 25 by April would be great. I've lost 5 since beginning of December.

    Look at weight loss this way. You have your BMR which is the number of calories you burn in a day (http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/). Once you figure that out, you need to eat in a caloric deficit to lose weight... There are 3500 calories in a pound, so if you have a 500 calorie deficit a day less than your BMR, then you will lose 500x7 = 3500 calories a week = 1lb/wk. Since its around 4 months till mid-April or 28 weeks, you will burn 28lbs doing this method.

    To do this right, you really need to be consistent with weight food and logging absolutely everything you eat. Good luck to you!

    I had a baby in March too! Started 10lbs heavier (@ 186) than my “Normal weight”. I haven’t lost anything since a few weeks after baby being born.

    I’m not 9m postpartum and haven’t lost anything!!! Ugh stuck 196lbs. Hoping to lose 50lbs total!

    I'd love to be a part of this. I'm new to MFP and looking for support and motivation. I'm starting at 151 and want to get down to 130. I gained 20 pounds in the last two years since I started working at home.

    I work from home too and it has definitely contributed to my weight gain. I love my job though so I have to get into a better habit of getting on my treadmill at home!

    Hey got room for me? I'm looking to lose about 25 pounds by May! I'm 5'5" and am 38 years old. Trying to make a lifestyle change and feel and look better for myself. I have a very poor self esteem cuz I dont like how I look. My hubby tries to tell me I look good but I want to feel that way about myself. I took this 25 pounds off back in 2015 and put it all back on cuz I dont have anyone to support me. I only see my hubby on wknds cuz of his job. I have 2 teen boys that dont always wanna hang with mom and eat healthy and workout with me. I just want a goal of feeling good about myself. I'm my own worst critic. I have social anxiety cuz I dont like how I look. Time to make time for myself again.
