    Hey Girls,
    Can I join this group? I joined MFP a few days ago and I love it. The only issue that I was having was that I needed to loose so much weight and felt like other people did not understand. While everyone here has been so nice, I needed support from people who were in the same situation as I am and could really relate. I am 270 lbs. and need to get to 150 lbs. to be healthy. I wish everyone well for the rest of the weekend. Now, I only hope that I can find this discussion board again.

    Hey Halfers hope everyone is having a great Monday. I am giving myself a new goal each monday to increase my cardio, I have been at a plateau for about 3 weeks. I am ready to get out of it. Welcome to all the new faces. Well I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

    Thank you! My week is a bit off because I weigh myself every Tuesday morning, so I am actually at the end of my week. I will let you all know tomorrow how I did. I wish everyone well this week. Becky

    Hey Ladies, I'm back from vacation and happy to report that I maintained my loss. I did not lose - but in all honesty, I didn't expect to.

    My son and I are getting back on track tomorrow though... we're heading out to Sam's to restock the refrigerator and we've both already walked this morning. He's trying to lose a few pounds for football (he has to be under 120 to carry the ball) and well... I'm just still trying to get down to my goal weight. It's nice to be able to be a role model for my 11 year old though - he sees me eating better and exercising and knows that it works.

    Keep up the good work ladies!!

    Hi all, I gained 2 pounds last week. Well I lost 2 this week so I am back to where I was 2 weeks ago. I need to get busy. I want to hit that 30 pound mark soon. The most weight I have ever lost is 29 pounds. It would just feel like an accomplishment to finally hit that mark.

    Great job Amanda!

    You can do it momma2four! I know what you mean about that feeling of accomplishment after exceeding a certain number. I have lost and gained 50 pounds many times, so I can't wait to get over that 50 pound mark. I know we can do it!
  • Ironically 15 is the most I've ever lost as well! :laugh: So I'm with you two, getting over that previous weight loss "hump", that feeling of "I've been here before, let's go somewhere I haven't been" will be great. So lets kick it into gear this week and get over those humps!

    Hello Team mates!
    Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. I am in a new relationship (month) and it's at that crazy ga ga stage where you spend every free moment together. Having a great time and it has also worked wonders on my eating habits!! (no time to eat junk and don't want to with the butterflies in the tummy:wink::wink: :wink: !!!)

    My current weight is 228.4 for a total loss of 33 lbs!!:smile: I am also happy to announce that 5 more lbs lost and I will have less than 100lbs to lose to reach my goal weight of 125. I can't wait to be under 200 lbs, too. It has been 6 years since I've seen a number below that on the scale!

    Hope everyone is doing well!

    thanks, I was thin young and pretty when we met. I put on over 120 pounds in that time, and yet he still tells me how beautiful I am all the time. If I put myself down he gets mad and says "Thats my wife your talking about" :blushing: :heart: I am lucky.:heart: He is one of my motivations, I want to do this for me so much, but I want to do it for him just as much. :love: I am sitting here sighing, being in love.:love::laugh: :laugh:

    That's great! One thing that I find very special about my new bf is that he fell for me the way I am now! He never knew me when I was drop dead beautiful (body and all). I am still a beautiful woman (toot toot :laugh: ) but I am over 200 lbs and my guy has had some amazingly hot girlfriends (always hot bodies) in the past. He was able to see the beauty of me now when he could have been with probably anyone he wanted. That makes me feel even more special because I don't hear," I remember when you were really skinny",etc.
    I have had a few guys that knew me from a long time ago and have wanted to date me but all they wanted to see was the old me. There is so much more to me than my looks and my guy sees that!!!:heart::heart: :smile:
