I just want to be healthy. My goal weight presently is 160 but my ideal goal would be 135. I am really on a roller coaster with gaining and losing weight. Lots of trials and bumps in the road but pushing on!

I joined MFP in Feb 2011 and have lost 30 pounds and feel great! Right now I am on maintenance plan and doing well.The only exercise I have done regularly is walking 2 miles (which includes a steep, long hill) 3 or 4 times a week. Now, with darker hours and bad weather on the way I am looking for an alternative exercise plan. I don't really like gyms or exercises that require a lot of jumping around-any ideas?

Since I was in middle school I have struggled with my weight and the realities of being an overweight female. Dealing with self-esteem issues and everything else that comes along with it. While growing in my relationship with God, I learned that if I am not satisfied with the way I look or feel I need to change it. God wants me happy and He knows what I can be. So before joining my fitness pal, 2 years ago I started to research weight loss and found all the tools I needed. I was 252 pounds when I started by the time I found my fitness pal I was around 235 and currently I am at 216 and I am still counting! My main goal is to lose weight and be healthy.

I started my weight loss journey 18 months ago. I've lost 45 pounds, so it's a slow go, but it's all about lifestyle and changing things forever. I currently weigh 222 pounds, and my goal is to get to 165. I'm trying to fit in daily exercise (at least 4 times per week). I saw my doctor yesterday, and she suggested MFP, so here I am! Looking forward to getting to know you!

Blessings,
Heather

My goals are to lose around 40 pounds. Get in shape and feel great. I do not want to miss out on all of the wonderful things God has planned for me by not taking care of myself.
