in Motivation and Support
If you just starting out (like me) or 5 lbs from your goal Id like to friend women
with similar goals for motivation and support.

Post your stats to show how far you've come or where your heading.

SW: 182.2
CW: 180
GW: 138

Seems so far away, I could really use the support to keep me on track.

    Doing fat burning exercises and alternating muscle building to lose fat and inches. The inches are coming off because my clothes are bigger but the scale is moving slowly so I try not to use it too much.

    I definitely could use all the support and motivation I can get!!! I've been using MFP since January to help control my eating & I've been going to the gym 3-5 times a week for cardio/fat burn. I normally do my lunges, squats, abs, arms, etc at home!

    Hiii,

    I am 5'6" and need to lose 40+ pounds. I have been working out on and off but lacking consistency :( My major hindrance is lack of motivation when I get back home from work. All day I keep thinking I would work out today. Some days I succeed and some days, even with a lot of mental prep, I fail to stick to my workout schedule. (kind of angry with myself now x-( ) Looking for motivation and support.
    I was doing 30-day shred level 1 and worked up to level 2. But that was a while ago. I will start with level 1 again. Also started running and planning to incorporate power yoga 3 times a week.

    My stats:

    SW : 169 lbs
    CW : 166lbs
    GW : 128 lbs - 130 lbs

    I'm 5'6 and I know 170 might seem like it's not low enough but I'm going to take this one step at a time and that is 40+ lbs from my current weight. On the other hand, I carry most of my weight in my chest and hip/thigh area so I need to see if I would want to go smaller than that. Only time will tell.

    I've been doing the JM 30 Day shred as well. I'm on day 14 on Level 2 and it is kicking my butt, but I love it. I can tell a difference in my body in inches more than weight. Like my back fat is decreasing and my arms are more toned. I also to Zumba and the treadmill.

    Please feel free to add me!!

    Hi, I am 5'6 but my heaviest was 278 after my second child was born. I slowly lost a little here and there and managed to keep it off. I have been really serious about my weight loss since January. I am currently 196. I have lost 82lbs and 45 of that since January. A co-worker recently told me about the myfitnesspal app and I immediately downloaded it. It has really kept me focused. I simply chose to make a lifestyle change. I now understand what the doctors and everyone means when they say "lifestyle" change. I walk and hike more and make better choices with my food. I also learned its alright to indulge in a little high calorie food every once in a while. The funny thing for me is when I do eat the high fat foods I feel nauseous. Good luck with your progress.
