    Hey there! We need to be friends... :) I'm 42 (and 1/2), and am at a similar weight (184). My goal is 142, so yeah, I've got a ways to go. Which is fine - I'm just so happy to be eating well and getting healthy.

    I have only been doing this for 1 month, but I am starting out with the higher cals (I'm in the 1700's somewhere). I have seen consistant losses, not huge - but again, that's fine.

    "Friend" me and we can keep each other on track! :)

    - Heidi
    Me too! 85 kg's , 5foot 4 and 36 years old, started eating more 2 weeks ago and joined the gym. Keen to have friends in the same boat!

    I'm needing to lose about 40lbs, I'm hoping this eat more to lose weight helps, I've been stuck in a rut for months I've hardly lost anything since January, so I'm up for trying anything.

    I'm 28, and just started this days ago. I would like to lose 67 more lbs, ideally, but 40-50 (putting me at about 150-160)would be a blessing. I'm learning to add more strength, but i don't have a gym membership, so I run for cardio about 4-5 days a week for a half hour per day. Last week, I was 201, and now today I'm 199....not sure what that's about but we will see what happens next!

    More than 30 needed here; more like 70 or close to it. I have only been on this site for about 3 weeks and I have lost 13 pounds, starting out from 220 and currently at 207. Part of that loss I believe came from my blood pressure change at the beginning of my journey here, but the rest is from eating nearly 2000 calories daily and working out and being dedicated to this site :-) The biggest thing I am happy about is from my measurements yesterday that put me down 2 inches in my waist and 2 inches in my hips and half an inch on my next...4 1/2 inches lost, now that I love! Keep up the good work! You will get there before you know it! :-)

    None of my clothes fit! I had to go buy several outfits to go on vacation this week. But it's not really showing on the tape measure.

    OK, did you jump into MY head to write all this?! LOL

    I'm 5'6" and started at 205 lbs (i'm 32). I lost what I've done so far by just following MFP and eating back my exercise cals. But then I "took a break" to just maintain for awhile. Yeaaaaaah, that was in Aug 2011 and I'm STILL staring at 185 on the scale. :mad: But I feel like I have the same problem! I KNOW I'm smaller, but I can't seem to go down a pants size yet (in my case, i blame it on my waist losing 5" but my hips only losing 2" :tongue: ).

    I just increased my cals last week, and I'm pretty sure I'm up a couple of lbs, but I'm going to keep at it and see if I can't "reset". I'm shooting for TDEE-20% on non-exercise days and BMR+ about 100 + Exercise cals on workout days. I'm going to try to give it at least 6 weeks and see how it goes, but you're DEFINITELY not alone :tongue:
