  • I'm 5'11" and I started out at 195 lbs, but my goal is between 160-165. I started a month ago from today, and i've lost 12 lbs so far! I just want to get in better shape and become the athletic person I used to be. Also, I've been needing new clothes for a while now, but I refuse to buy clothes that fit me while weighing 195.

    I'm the same way. I hate buying clothes and shopping in general, but I especially don't want to buy anything till I lose about 25 lbs. I've also been putting off family photo session that I was gifted about 18 months ago.

    25-30 lbs would be awesome. My goal is 150. But I think I might be happy at 155. I'm 5'5''. It's been so long since I've seen those #s, I don't remember what they look like. Smile! I'm having a hard time getting motivated this year. It seems like such a big number. Guess it's kind of daunting! I gained about 10 lbs since starting a new relationship in July. I'm happy we met, but need to get rid of these extra lbs. No fun! Well, I'm done venting. Thanks for listening. I am looking forward to my workout tonight after work. :-)

    I'm 5'2" (I swear...) and I weighed in last at 156. Holy heaviness. I would love to lose 20-30lbs. My first goal is to get down to 145 by February 22 when I will see my husband next. I've been a member of this website for a little while now but coming back SERIOUS now. Feel free to add me :)

    Hey :) trust me, I know cravings are hard to deal with, especially when you're out and about., I always thought that being healthy was about deprivation and dieting blah blah blah, but if u work out and eat reasonably healthy foods, you can treat yourself every now and again...now I'm not saying to go snarf down a burger and a chocolate cake, but if.u have been 'good' its perfectly okay to have a scoop of ice cream.or a couple French fries...like I said, all about moderation...and u also won't feel like strangling everyone around you who gets to eat yummy things...how dare they!:P good luck, I know u can do it!!! P.s jelly beans are a great sweet snack...they give u the sugar buzz u want at less than.100 calories for 35 pieces

    Just started 3 days ago. Pushing real hard. But I am so hungry. how should I get rid of these cravings. Snacking on carrots is getting old.

    try cucumber slices, bell pepper slices,stir fried spinach w/garlic, Drink lots of water until you feel full, try crystal light in your waterm, that helps get it down. Try a new hobby, play a video game. The cravings should go away in time. HTH

    Hi Everyone! I Just started counting again after about 8 months of not counting whatsoever. Before I got down to 148 but gained it all back. :( I am 5'0 and weigh 158... Also looking to get down to 130. Feeling confident but needing support!
  • I've been using MFP since October and have lost 20 lbs so far. My ultimate goal is 50, but I figured I'd do it in little manageable steps. I've reached goal #1 (20 lbs) and am now on goal #2 (11 lbs) to get me to 155.

    The final goal for me is somewhere around 135
