I just started today really. I am a 50 year old woman and I would like to lose at least 50 pounds. My fitness goal I have set for myself is to run a 5 K this year. I am trying to half way follow the WW Points Plus Plan, on my own, I didnt join weight watchers. I found this site and thought it would be as helpful as WW. So here I am! So far so good today!0

Just keep at it and believe that you can do it- I belive in you! I keep telling myself to take it one day at a time0

I am 52 and trying to lose about 40 lbs that I gained after chemo...can't get rid of them even after 10 years!!
Let's keep in touch...0 -
My goal is to also do a 5k this year! I've never done distance running so I'm nervous but definetely think I can do it after having worked out the 3-1/2 months! Good luck & let me know how ur doing!0

I am 43 and the mother of 4 children.
Currently I weigh in at 148 pounds and would like to lose about 10 (realistic) to 20 (dreaming) pounds
I started the Insanity workout this week...today was day 4 and I am liking it so far...it is very hard though and I hate to exercise, so any motivation would be great.
On Monday I am starting the Couch to 5K program as well. I have always wanted to be a runner, because they always seem so healthy and can eat just about anything they want...lol I hope if I ease into the running that I can be successful.
The support and resources that this website offers are amazing...it makes my choices a little easier.
I look forward to working together so everyone can reach their goals.0 -
Hi everyone,
I joined a while ago but only started using the calorie tracker app properly last monday.
My goal is to lose 25kg (55lbs) by July 31st this year!
I'm also on the fodmap diet which actually gave me the kick up the backside that i needed to begin this weightloss journey.0 -

Hi There!!! From Surrey in UK. age 27.
not doing a new years resolution this year as never keep to them!! so instead last year i told myself i will get back into shape and all my nice dresses that dont fit anymore! and started pre new year! used to be 140lbs!!! lot of weight to shift!!
I was 220 pounds last year september (my heaviest), joined mfp in october weighing 210. current weight at the moment is 196 ish...
Main reason for joining mfp was by total accident found website on google! Have been struggling with fitness for a while due to depression. but now im positive want to do exercise but my body can only handle so much as havent worked out in over 5 years!! So needless to say exercising is frustrating for me. i know it will get better and i have just started out again so, it can only get better!!
as im relatively new dont know many people on here and defo need the support as each day still is a bit of an effort for me. have to say though, there are some amzing peeps on here that really make me motivated. If they can do it so can i!! feel free to add me... can share stories, exercises, have a laugh or two...

Im erin - want to loose about 15 lbs to get back to where i was a year about before mexico - never felt that good!!! Love motivating other and having others keep me on track as well
Its a one day at a time kind of thing but days go by fast - results are AMAZING!!!
Ive done insanity before - not religiosly but once p90x got boring last year we would switch up videos - SHAUN T scares me but gets me going - want to puke after every video haha but they are good videos - circuit training is one of the best out there!!!!0 -
I joined a little while ago, I was 240 the day I delivered my daughter and dropped down to 175 but bounced right back up to 220! I'm currently down to 184-186 and am working towards being 115-135 since I'm only 5'1"...the only support I have is my BF who lives 2100 miles away and gives me body building tips which I really do not need since I'm not looking to be bulky like a man...plus he keeps emphasizing that I need to keep my curves but yet be slim...kind of a contradiction if you ask me. I think he's afraid that I'm going to loose the girls if I get too thin...I highly doubt it since I'm a DD I would like to get back down to a C if possible! I'm tired of my back hurting from them being too big!!! I was an F when I had my daughter! So he can't complain that I completely have lost them since I lost 56 lbs this past year! Got another 50-60 to go!0

You go girl. I have done many 5k runs and I can not tell you the emotion you feel when you complete your first 5K run. I am 52 and looking to lose about 15 lbs. I am finding I have to be diligent and almost obsessive. I am keeping a food journal and exercising 5 times weekly. Would love to chat. What works for you?0

Hi Everyone, I am Rose Marie. My husband and I joined myfitnesspal about 1 month ago. We live in Bonita Springs, Fl. Near Naples, Fl and we love it here. We have lived here for about 2 years now. We have 2 sons of the four legged kind. A 10 year old cat named Dasher and a 10 month hound mix dog named Jeter. My husband is loseing a lot faster then I am of course. So I need all the help I can get. I need to lose about 50 lbs. I know that it did not take a short time to put it on so I need to take it off slowly. I am taking it 10 lbs at a time for my goals.0

Hello!
My name is Meghan
I joined a long time ago, but didn't really use it. Then I got married and stopped worrying about my weight and then it was the holidays and I stopped worrying even more and now it's 6 months later and I've gained 20 pounds....
So....time to get back on track. I'd like to lose the 20 lbs I gained since the wedding plus five more. I've already lost about 7 since the new year.
Starting weight: 165
Current weight: 158
Goal: 140
I did Insanity last year with some other teachers after school, but I've really busy this year and haven't had much time to do things after school. I started Insanity again today. Only got halfway through the workout though! I forgot how hard it was!!!
I'm also a horrible eater and trying to be better at it!0 -

Hi, my name is Judith. I joined two days ago. I have 75 pounds to lose. I lost that amount many years ago and kept it off for 5 years. Then I gained it back over many years. I am tired of carrying all of this weight around and it's affects on my body. I am 63 and most people are surprised and say that I look younger. But I have noticed lately that the heavier I get, the older I look. It just isn't healthy. My daughter is going to have a baby in May and I have a 14 year old grandson. I want to be around many years to enjoy them. I live in beautiful San Diego, so I don't have any weather excuses. I feel very happy to have found this site and invite anyone to be my friend. I admire so many who have lost so much on this site. I want to become one of them. I have a cute golden retriever named Rosie. We like to take walks and I like to rebound. Rosie just likes to sleep on the little trampoline. I am going on a Washington D.C. trip in March with my granson's school and I need to get some of this weight off to keep up with a bunch of 8th graders 0

Hello everyone! I am a full time working mom of two. My current weight is 168 and my goal weight is 135. I have been dieting for 3 weeks now and have just lost 3 pounds. It's seems it took forever to get the first 3 pounds off. I hope the rest comes off quicker than that. Good luck everyone!0

Hello! What kind of things are you doing? Are you just dieting or exercising too? I'm starting my 4th week of the Insanity workout and haven't lost one pound, but I have lost 2 pant sizes. I workout because I like to eat. I have cut back on the amount I eat, but I'm still eating what I want.
Good luck and just keep working at it.Hello everyone! I am a full time working mom of two. My current weight is 168 and my goal weight is 135.

Hi,
Was in a hotel spa recently and weighed myself........OMG what a shock, I knew I was getting heavier after a long cruise followed by Christmas and New Year, but not that much. So something has to be done!
Found MFP on ipad and downloaded the app.
However your help would be appreciated as I need encouragement and motivation....even nagging!
Add me and lets help everyone to succeed.

Hi Everyone! I'm from Arlington, Texas. I just joined yesterday. I wish all reading happy losing the healthy way!
I am 48, married,and have 3 children ages 20, 18 and 16 (all girls). I have chronic pain from health conditions called Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) and Fibromyalgia (FM). Between three pregnancies and all the meds I have taken in the past 20 years to combat the pain I have I added 90 pounds to my frame! :noway:
I broke my ankle, have fought a BAD bone infection for a year and a half and, well, now I'm chosing amputation of my lower leg to get me back on my feet. No pities, please! It's a SCARY decision, yes, but I'll be able to walk well again in just a few months!
I have about 63 pounds left to lose. So here I go! Thanks for reading.

Hey there I'm Madilyn. I'm 13 and EXTREMELY overweight. I weigh 160 at the moment (at 5'7) I recently noticed how weak and overweight I am and decided to make a change. I kicked in gear last month and I just started Insanity, week one day 3. It's killing me, but i like it haha! My goal is to get down to 125-135 by Feburary. The goal is pretty out there but I'm willing to be out there to get the body i want!0
