Hi everyone,
I've have lost about 4lbs on MFP and have 15 more to go. I'm looking for friends who have similar goals so we can encourage each other to lose!

Add me as a friend and/or share your goals with me :)

    I'm hoping to reach my goal by christmas too. It would be the perfect present :).
    What are you doing to achieve your goal? Do you have weekly or monthly weight loss goals?

    I dont really have any specific weight loss goals, just kinda taking it as it goes lol. To help me get to my goal tho i've just purchased Zumba for the Kinect which i'm really enjoying right now so trying to do that as much as my dodgy knee will let me. But all in all i'm doing the same as I have been the past 7 weeks and keeping track but enjoying myself too.

    I have about 20 lb left to lose. Been on a month long plateau though due to quitting smoking. Starting to get really discouraged. I had hoped to be at my goal by now. It would be nice to be there by Halloween, but that's not goin to happen. Maybe Christmas?

    I love Zumba! I have the DVDs but my flatmate finds all the noise I make (jumping around attempting to follow it haha) distracting while she is studying so I can't do it very often.
    By your ticker you've been doing great so far! Well done! Did you lose that 11 pounds in just 7 weeks??

    Congrats on the decision to quit smoking! Don't give up! You've come so far. 42lbs is amazing! I've been having trouble geting the scale to move at the moment too but we can do this! What kind of exercise have you been doing?
    We have similar goal weights. how tall are you?

    Yup lost it all in that time and all thanks to MFP and the support I get here. I'm 100% sure I couldnt have done it without the fantastic people on here :)

    I've got around 20lbs to lose and want to do this by January as I'm flying back home to get my dress for my wedding fitted. I will also be at a weight that I plan on maintaining. My goal weight isn't much below your weight now, but it's a size I've been at before and is right for my frame.

    I am doing lots of spinning and trying to stay in my calorie limit and when i'm not, exercising like mad to make up for it. I went off the rails for a little while and have only just been back for the last couple of weeks, so i'm hoping to get back but i'm definitely more motivated this time!

    Sorry I didn't see this! Thanks! I'm not going to give up, I'm going to keep going. Right now I'm doing C25K, I'm on week 6. Before that, elliptical and stair climber. And I'm 4' 10 1/2" (really short!)

    i'm looking to drop 15 in the next month in a half and continue after the wedding to 10-15 more.

    Total lbs lost before I think about getting pregnant should be about 30 lbs! 20 would work but 30 would be IDEAL!

    I have 18lb to lose (I have lost 16lb already) but in reality I am not sure whether I will change my goal, I think that 120lb on me might not be right and be a little too much, so I am going to get to 130 and see how I look. I am within my BMI now i'm 23.67 so I am slowing down on the ole weight loss.
