Hi all! I am just starting myfitnesspal, and I am really hoping to lose 2 lbs per week. I am going to be in a bathing suit in 37 days - yikes!!! I am 208 right now. For the past three years I was always around 202, then let weight creep on between Halloween candy and Christmas this year... It is time to get serious. I really like the positive attitude of the people on this site. Hoping to check in at least 2 lbs thinner next week! Good luck to all of you!

Hi there,
I started weight loss on 1st Feb, like you I was 208. Now I'm 197 in just over 3 weeks, and it hasn't been difficult - it can be done, so go for it!0 -
Hi and welcome! I tried MFP last Jan?Feb but didn't stick with it. This time I started working out @ the local Y in the fall, changed my eating habits, lost some weight and then started up here again to keep me going. I am finding it very helpful! I am not losing weight as quickly as in the fall but it is steady and I feel great. I am discovering muscles and loving the ability to move better. I wish you luck on your goal and know you can do it! Maybe even more as this is new and sometimes that happens Keep us posted!0

Good luck to you! You can obtain your goal. I am fairly new to this site as well. I am trying to make lifestyle changes and not just "diet" somethings are easier than others to give up but I am learning more portion control. I never looked at labels before and have been so surprised at some of the foods I had been eating. Are you getting ready for a cruise or something b/c it still seems a little early for bathing suit season, lol.0
