    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.

    37 with 72 lbs to lose... it crept up on me over the years and strangely, I'm now heavier than my heaviest pregnancy weight. Hitting 200 when pregnant was one thing, but seeing the scale at the doctor's office read 210 when my child is almost 5... was a wake-up call. So here I am and looking forward to getting back to my 22 year old weight. I know it will take a long time but I'm in no rush!

    We can all do this!

    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*

    Honestly, I'm 29 and in the exact same boat. We weigh the same and have the same goal. It's hard. I've fallen and gotten back up so many times I've lost count. The important thing is that we're here, we know that we need to do something about it and have acknowledged we have an issue. We can do this :D

    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.

    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!
