28ys old with 50lbs to lose!

29 with 55 to lose!

We have the same goal! I thought I was the only crazy one aiming for the 50 lbs weight loss but obviously after reading all those posts I am not alone!! I just want to put aside my worries and say that the journey will be tough and I know that if I keep tracking my food intake and learning how to respect my self and show self control I should be able to obtain my goal. A shout out and a THANK YOU to all those women who have made it and have inspired all of us to continue on our journey!!:flowerforyou: - 35 and aiming for the 21 year old body! lol

well welcome to the right place, there are people like me here to motivate and keep spirits high, and sometimes i need a kick in the butt, so feel free to add me as a friend anyone, good luck to all on ur weight loss journey!!!!!

Hi! I'm 28 years old and I have lost over 50lbs. You can add me if you'd like. I'd love to help keep you motivated!

I'm 28, pushing 29 in the summer, and would like to lose 50lbs, though I will be happy with 30 - still seems like such a long way to go now, and I've been around here for a few weeks already, feel like I should be seeing some results by now but trying not to get disheartened - after all, I didn't see the damn weight piling on, so why should I see it falling off right? Good luck, let's keep it up!

Hi-
I am a little older than you 32 and 197 lbs, looking to lose about 50 myslef. LET"S DO THIS!!!

I'm 21 with about 70 lbs to lose. CW is 237 GW is 170.
I was on here before, but quit after not doing much at all. I came back this week after a year off, full force. I'm ready to get rid of this fat unhealthy girl and I'm ready to be more confident in myself by losing some weight.

Hi, I am also new to this site, and like most people in this thread, I have been "start-stopping" diets and exercise for a number of years. I am 28, soon to be 29 and I want to lose about 34 lbs. I have never successfully lost any weight and in the past 5 years I have only been gaining more weight. I am currently 154.3 lbs and my goal weight is about 120 lbs. I am 5'5".

I've noticed over the years that I am more and more tired. I don't want to do those stupid diets, I want to incorporate new lifestyle changes and habits that will ultimately reshape everything about myself. i want to be a part of a circle of friends where we can share our motivations and sorrows and help each other to reach our goals. I think without the help of others, reaching our goals is just a bit harder to accomplish.

Let's make this a joint effort and keep in touch!

Thanks for listening,
Tawn*

Hi there! I'm 27, also from MA, and my highest weight was 197. :-) I'm at 168 now, aiming for 150! Feel free to add me as a friend.

I'm 27 and I've lost 52 lbs with a few more to go.

Hello, I'm 34 with 42 lbs or so to lose. Just started MFP and also looking for some motivation and inspiration pals! Feel free to add me. I'm a product of yo-yo dieting. I'm looking to get it right this time, once and for all. MFP seems like a really great resource and is giving me a sense of accountability...just hoping I can stick with it, too!

I'm 29 and fast approaching 30. I have 95lbs to lose! Today i've entered in to "race for life" 5k run this June! Never thought i would be saying that. I think it helps to give yourself little challenges and goals to aim for and keeps you motivated.

Add me if you like x

My name is Kate, and I'm 27. I've lost 50 lbs (I was at 60lbs lost and gave up, which was dumb) and I'm back at it to lose another 50! Feel free to add me if you'd like, I'm good at commenting on things for all you comment lovers

Gotta keep it positive or it will feel like a chore!

I am nearly 28 and I was 196 when I started. (I'm 5"7)

As of today I am 170lbs! I just slowly, slowly, slowly got bigger and biggers. My goal is 155 - I was 158 when I got married - so I'm excited to achieve this and be able to say "I'm smaller then when I got married!"

Stay the course - you can do it. Log in every day. Do SOME sort of physical activity every day. Track everything. Allow yourself take out (there are healthier options, so you can still stay in your calorie allowance)

Yes, it's not easy, but it's not hard. You CAN do this.

I'm 28 as well and started with a goal to lose 60 lbs--from 225 lbs to 165 lbs. So far, I'm 35 lbs down! So, you can do it! Just STICK WITH IT even and especially on the days when you don't wanna! And hey, here's a great tip: on the days when you say to yourself, "I've been really good lately, I deserve a day off!"--DON'T do it! In fact, on those days, PUSH YOURSELF EVEN HARDER! You can take a day off when you drop all 50 lbs! Good luck!
