Hi everyone

I'm new to mfp but not new to watching my diet and exercise. I'm looking for online support to lose those last few pounds and then 'stick with it' through maintenance, which I always find hard! I'm looking for people in a similar position - male or female- to keep me on track.

I've probably about 5-6 pounds to lose and I'm working out 6 times a week (training for a half marathon, plus spin, resistance and a pt session once every 2 weeks.

If you are in a similar position, please feel free to add me- I will open up my diary and give back as much support as I can

    Nine more to go, unless I decide I'm done sooner! Basically I want my stomach to look flat and toned and I'll be done with weight loss once I get that done. Then I'll be working to maintain and continue adding lean muscle. I don't know if that is similar enough to your goals or not but anyone can add me if they want.

    I hit my goal, but want to lose about 2-3 more just to have that extra cushion. My diary is open, but lately sporatic, so look back in Feb when I was doing it religiously & losing 1 #/wk. If it was not for MFP, I would not have gotten to where I am.

    I've lost 30 and have 10 to go (7 lbs plus a few for cushion). Kinda curious how maintenance will be... just as OCD or more relaxed?? You're welcome to send a request!!!. :ohwell:

    Feel free to add me if you want.

    Trying to go from "slim" to "ripped". Don't know how much I weigh or need to lose but I weigh more than I did a year ago due to lifting weights so it is irrelevant. I am using my eye to judge how far I need to go. My diet history is explained in my profile.

    Hi, This is just what I am looking for. I need to lose 5lbs. I am struggling with being consistent with my food. I am eating 1200 cal per day with more added in when I am hungry due to exercise. Running is my passion, and I use P90X as a "cross trainer". I work out 5-6 days per week. I have been at this for months with minimal change in the scale. It goes down, it goes back up! My biggest obstacle is my belly! I'd be happy with my current weight if I could do something about the bulge! I'd love the support of this forum!

    Since I dont have a lot to lose, I've stopped weighing myself. It was too much of a negative impact since I could easily be swapping fat for muscle.

    I think I'm about 5-10 pounds away from my goal.

    I've lost 16 lbs. and have about 6 to go. They're being much more resistant to going away than the first 16! I'd be ok at this weight though if I just got my belly looking better. Feel free to add me.

    Me, too. My ticker says it all. I've on MFP for three weeks and so far gained 1/2 lb!
