I am 24 years old and getting married this October. I have lost about 15 pounds since August and trying to get the rest off! I could use some friends on here so we can support each other!

    My goal is 30 lbs right now, but 40 would be ideal. Friend me! I need the encouragement!!

    My wedding has come and gone, but three kiddos in five years has put me over the edge -- and I need to get serious about losing the weight.

  • Anyone can feel free to add me as well. I've only been on here for about 4 days now, but I have lost 4 lbs!! I honestly don't think I would have stuck with it for just these 4 days if it weren't for MFP! It has helped me tremendously.
  • Btw... I am not trying to lose the weight for the wedding. I am actually losing it so I can have healthier pregnancies later on.

    Yeah...right here...already lost 70 (39 since I joined MFP) but got about another 40 to go at the very least!!

    Just coming to the finish of C25K which has really helped...it's fantastic being a 'proper' runner...but I do use the word 'runner' in the loosest possible sense!! :D

    Feel free to add me if you're looking for support and are committed to achieving your goal :)

    i am ...have run out of excuses. christmas chocs needing eaten, easter eggs etc. last week was my birthday
    so now that all the meals out are over and choccies all gone, i`m going to get my head down
    and concentrate on losing wieght. trouble is .....i don`t like excercise so it`ll need to be done by diet.
    good luck everyone.....only started on wed so will either be happy or grumpy when i weigh in next week!:flowerforyou:

    I'm trying to lose 40 pounds but I've gained 50 pounds over the past 20 years.

    I've set my goal at 1 pound per week with moderate exercise three times per week and so far so good at 7 pounds in 7 weeks.

    It took me a long time to gain the weight so devoting one year to losing it seems reasonable as I don't want to gain it back!

    My goal was to lose 60. I have lost 23 so have about 40 left to lose. I would also like others on the same journey as myself. :-)

    ^^^ This, exactly why I'm here. Trying to get fit and healthy before we start trying for a family. Best of luck.

    I'm trying to lose 45 - 50 lbs. I've already lost 18 lbs and it's only been two months. I work out 3 - 5 days a week and try to keep my calories under 1600 per day. So far so good.

    Add me if you like.
