hi patty,i'm with you on the train to weight loss but most imporantly healthy life style,which i'm during well with in this journey.

WELCOME EVERYONE

I'm excited to do this with all of you,and getting to know you all.I live in Wisconsin.

I will weigh in tomorrow, July 20th. This is perfect since I just got back from a vacation in Portland and my birthday is over! :glasses: I am new to this type of support. I think it will be a huge help. Thank you, ladies.

Hello everyone i'v been losing weight for awhile now so here is my numbers.
My starting weight-144
Weight-136(as of today)
1st Goal is- 130(almost there)
Goal weight -125
Hope you all have a good day,and let's support each other.

I also started today and I feel very motivated. My first goal is 196lbs. I weighed in this morning at 224lbs. I need to lose 28lbs. With the help of the lovely members of MFP I figure that to be a piece of cake no problem at all!!!!!!!!

Good morning! I started working out a week ago, but just started this site over the weekend. Last week I worked out 30 -45 minutes a day Monday - Thursday, worked on portion control and lost 1.6 pounds. I started at 173.2 and am at 171.6 - I do my weigh ins on Sundays though. I have a friend here in my apartments who works out with me in the mornings, but she isn't trying to lose weight really so once I get my breathing back under control (my vocal cords spazm shut when my breathing rate increases instead of them opening like they should) and a little bit of stamina built up I'll start going 30 minutes in the morning and then 30 - 60 minutes at night as well.

I don't do the whole purging my house of junk food - not only because my hubby needs snacks that won't spoil to take to work (he doesn't always get to eat lunch), but because if I crave something (i.e. oreos) and put that craving off for too long I'll eat a at least 10-12 in one sitting instead of one or two if I eat them when I have the craving (I have been known to go to the store specifically to get oreos and come back with multiple kinds of cookies and ice cream both then binge on them). So we keep small amounts of junk food in the house, but the sweets are mostly kept in a box from copy paper out in the garage. Our garage is attached to our apartment & I don't go out there very often since my hubby parks his car there & mine is outside. (My choice, I have to walk farther to get to my car this way - every little bit helps right?).

Anyway, my overall goal is to be down to 140 by the new year. Depending on my progress I may make that 130, I just don't want to set a goal that's unrealistic and I don't know how I lose weight yet since I've never really tried to lose weight before. My weekly goal is to lose 2 pounds a week, and my daily goal right now is to drink 4 glasses of water. That will go up as I get into the routine of drinking water every day. I don't hardly drink anything right now, and try to avoid soda pop copletely. I usually do pretty good staying away from pop for the most part by telling myself the cans are for hubby to take to work. It works pretty good.

I think that's it for me. Good luck to all of you!!

Hi- I'd like to join your group. I'm starting today.

My weigh in this morning was at 204.6. My ultimate goal is to be in the "ideal weight" range for my height and that range is 118-132 pounds (I'm 5'2").

First mini-goal is to get below 200.
