    Although I am not really adding new friends, I do reply to messages so if you would like any advice or encouragement, feel free to send a message my way.

    Also, here's a blog I wrote about how I did it that you might find helpful:

    I am 5'4" and weigh 238... I go up and down and cant seem to consistently keep it off. Reading all these stories inspire me, Are all of you just counting calories and excersizing? what is shred?

    Ive lost over 100 lbs. I am only 5'6 and a half but used to be over 300 lbs. I had lost like 15 lbs before I joined here and those lbs are not reflected on my ticker.

    I started my plan after going to the Dr and finding out I weight 310 punds. I'm 5'6". I am trying to get approved for bariatric surgery. In the meantime I am taking a weight management on-line class. The first week of my class I did a total rebellious binge. No one is going to tell me what to eat let alone tell me I have to write all this stuff down. The second week I finally got with the program. Started at 313 and down to 306 the first week. I was using an app called loseit,but started using this one this week. I have a lot of changes to make. Been very resistant to the exercise piece. Finally got my fat butt out and walked today. Yup, I need to lose over 100 pounds. Seems daunting which is why I am looking at surgery. Hoping surgery will mean I don't have to be hungry all the time. Also hoping it works as aversion therapy. If I have surgery and it is hard for people on here I will stop posting, but in the meantime I could really use your support.

    I'm right there with everyone on this topic. I have about 108 pounds to lose and have lost 10 since joining. I find that using MFP helps keep me on track. Most of the days I stay within my calorie goal. Prior to joining, I did lose 40 pounds and have kept it off.

    I feel for me, I have to have what I call a "crap" day at least once a week. I enjoy what I want (within reason) and then concentrate on my food modifications the rest of the week. I hate calling it a diet because it seems like I am depriving myself when I do that.

    Good luck to everyone and feel free to friend me and we all go through this journey! :smile:

    Hello all....

    I needed to lose about 115 pounds, and since I decided to start doing something about it in July 2011, I've lost about 44 pounds. I stopped drinking sodas (used to be addicted to mountain dew), joined a gym, and got a personal trainer, who introduced me to MFP. I am fairly new here and sort of shy. I'd like to add all of you who are available for friending for the mutual encouragement. I am REALLY loving the new me and all the things I can do now; my trainer is teaching me how to box and I am trying to get started running using Couch to 5K. I am convinced we can all make this happen.

    HI! I'm 5'11" and my goal is to lose 120, but I will reassess that when I get there and see if I want to lose more. I started on November 7th after seeing some disgusting pictures from my engagement party. I took a short hiatus in January due to a loss in my family and then really started buckling down until the end of January. To date, I've lost about 35lbs.

    I've been doing the 17 day diet for a little over 3 weeks and it has helped me to get back into the swing of things and I've actually learned a lot about food and the quality of food that is needed in our bodies. I recently started doing 30 day shred (again) and try to go on the elliptical at least 4 days a week for 20 minutes. Also, I walk every night with my dog, and when its warmer out, we walk for the better part of three miles (around my hilly neighborhood)

    I love new friends so feel free to request me! Hope we can all be successful and help eachother on this journey!

    I'm Megan, my HW is 307, I started MFP in September at 287, and I'm currently 236ish. I still have at least 50-90lbs to go. (Depends on where I am happy because I have started doing more weights so I don't know what my maintenance weight will be).

    Hey there! I'm Sarah. When I started MFP five weeks ago I was at 402 pounds. I'm 5'4 and should ideally weigh about 120-135. Right now my goal is 250. It seems much more doable to me. When I get there I plan to try to maintain for a while (three to six months perhaps?) then plan my next step from there. So either way you look at it, I need to lose either 150 pounds total or 280 total. I think having a support team is essential. I'll send a friend request your way. Good luck to you!

    I'm trying to lose at *least* 120 lbs (and will defo re-assess my goal once I'm there and lose more...). I'm down 19 since I joined MFP/began eating healthy/exercising like crazy (about a week into january). I'm loving all the support from people on MFP, especially since I dont get an overwhelming amount at home. So, please please add me! I looove my friends on here...they're all great, and I would love some more! Currently I'm trying to eat much more healthily and working out at *least* once a day....I'm varying my exercises a lot, and I've found that's a key for me, because I get bored doing one thing. I'm doing weights/treadmill sometimes, but mainly taking classes (pilates, yoga, bootcamp, bodyworks, kickboxing, zumba, and more), swimming usually every day, and also doing 30 Day shred, sometimes in sequence with Biggest loser yoga or brazil butt lift. I'm also planning on starting C2 5K soon..I'm a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding at the end of september so I'd love to be under 200lbs by then (at least!). I'm at 251 right now, started at 270. We're also planning her bachelorette party for vegas in august, so of course I want to look fab for that!....and I really want to start running...I want to do a 5k in november at Disney (yep, i'm that big of a child :tongue: ) Anyways, feel free to add me no matter what your goals are!

    My initial big goal (on my ticker) is 100 lbs, but I'm hoping for more eventually... just trying not to look at anything bigger so I don't get overwhelmed :) I'm happy to have as many friends as possible here- it's great to have so many others who understand the struggles! Feel free to add me!
