Hi! My name is Victoria. I am trying to lose my extra weight before I go to college in the fall. I could always use extra motivation!

Sam, maybe we can help each other, I am in the same spot as you.

Good Morning!!!!

My name is Ketty and I am just soooooo tired of being fat. I want to stop saying "I want that body" "I want to wear those jeans, that dress...etc,etc, etc."..... I don't want to want anymore!!!!! I want to be the ONE wearing that dress, having that body, wearing those jeans..OH YEAH!!!!!!!

I know what you mean. I always say that I want that body or to fit in those jeans. I am determined to see myself in my goal jeans and bikini by July 1.

Hi all! My name is Hannah, just joined sunday (? i think... ive slept since then) and have been working to lose about 35 lbs... Ive got my exercise down, easy (love it) but my diet is still pretty bad. Its harder since I dont do the grocery shopping but Im working with it. Im aiming to be close to goal by the summer before I leave for college!

Hi! I'm Cat and i am 38 years old, mum to three gorgeous kids, and live in Coalville, NW Leicestershire, UK with my partner of 17 years, Alan. im new to this site, started today! had been using a different site last year and lost a stone, but went off track over christmas, and have had a stinking head cold ever since so not had the motivation at all. I am now, hopefully back in the zone, but may need a bit of a kick from time to time!!! Need to lose just over 20 lbs to get to my goal.

Hi everyone! I started on my weight loss journey in June, 2010. I lost about 35 lbs. in a year in order to win a contest between my sisters and me. I WON! I was halfway to my goal. I maintained my weight loss from June, 2011 to Jan., 2012. I decided in Jan. I was going to get rid of the remaining weight. I joined the 90 day challenge and have lost 9 lbs. and 5.5 inches since Jan. 2nd. I enrolled in the Rockin Body Boot Camp and attend 3 days a week. I have walked/jogged in 3 separate 5K's since June 2010. The last one was in Jan. where I finished in a little less than 45 minutes. I want to enter another one that is going to be held in March or April and I want to be able to jog more than I walk. My goal is to lose another 16 lbs. by the end of my 90 day challenge (April 2nd). Then I will set another goal for 90 days to lose the remaining weight. Motivation and accountability is KEY! I'm glad I found this group.

Good Morning!!!!

Hi, my name is Liz and I live in Illinois. I'm a junior in college trying to remove the stubborn "freshmen fifteen."

I feel exactly the same! Every year come January I start thinking "this year I want a body to be proud of at the beach," yet I never accomplish anything! Last year I did manage to lose 15 pounds over the summer, but I gained 10 of it back this fall! I need help staying motivated to lose the weight and keep it off for good!

I started five days ago and feel very motivated, as usual. Anything new holds my attention for a little while and then I fall back. I am hoping this site will keep me on track. Lets help each other. I know we can do it!

Hi im Lexy~~~

I need to lose about 55-60 lbs... ive been working out 3-5 times a week and a personal trainer twice a week... its so damn hard... im so exhausted everyday after working then going to workout... i get up at 6am then dont get home until 8pm most nights... some nights its later depending on what im doing at the gym i am trying so hard and it is very hard... especially eating!!! im such a junk foos junky and i miss pizzza and mcdonalds and burger king... but i keep looking at old pictures of myself and thats my inspiration... i used to weigh 145 and my starting wieght was 195! so looking at my old skinny pics i see that i wanna be there and i look at pictures of my now... and how big ive gotten... I am just in this mode where i dont feel like working out anymore even though i am not at my goal weight yet.... I am that type too .. where i am going good for a little while then i start falling off the end... starting with eating bad and stopping exercising .. and im in that funk right now.. im tryin really hard to stay on track but its really hard...

Hey there! I am Sam. I'm a 30 year old stay home mother and wife to 3 very active kids. I started my weight loss program when I weighed in at my heaviest 193. I'm 5'2 (on a good day) and so I have alot of weight to lose. Since I started in January I have already lost 10lbs. I would love to lose atleast 40lbs. I am currently going to the gym 4-5 times a week and MOST days am eating less then my allowance. My biggest problems are SWEETS and a lack of motivation (sometimes).

that is the same with me! I do good for a while then I stop everything it sucks but just gotta keep pushing yourself!!

Hey, I'm Alyssa, from Brooklyn, NY, and I'm 23, going on 24 this year. I've been on MFP forrr... well, I don't know how long actually lol, at least a year though!!! I think... Maybe 8 months? Anyway, I digress! I was doing really well for a long time, I had lost 50 lbs with the help of this site. Unfortunately, I have gained almost 20 lbs back over the last four months. I haven't been very motivated, and kind of stopped trying for a while. I've gotten back on the horse recently, but I still struggle with motivation, more than I'd like, so I will take any steps necessary to try and prevent future lapses. I'm excited to be here and look forward to being involved in this group!

Over the last 5 years or so I've slowly added 35lbs to my normal weight... Well, I am finally ready to do something about it! I turn 30 in May and would like to lose as much by then. I'm really glad I heard about this site because I could really use motivation and support.
