Hi everyone! I'm dedicating myself to tracking on MFP as its the only way I've ever lost weight in the past! 32 F, no kids, 5'5" Current weight: 68.7 kg (151.5). Goal: 61.5 kg (135.5). I have about 7 kg to lose or 16 pounds. My daily calorie goal is 1670 right now, but still finding it hard to hit as I feel hungry so…

Hey guys! I am trying for 1200-1300 calories a day for the next 3 months before my wedding. I don't exercise much now but I might try to add it in and then eat a bit more. Feel free to add me.

We are using a shared google spreadsheet to easily keep track of our progress. 2nd weigh-in coming up on Friday. More members feel free to join.

I feel similar to you ladies on a few cases. I reached my lowest adult weight a few years ago when I was in a relationship with a different man who told me I should lose weight. I lost it and I felt great but the relationship ultimately didn't work out and I found my current partner. We put on all our weight together and…

Thanks for joining guys. Today is the first weigh-in day but if future members miss the first few weigh-ins that is no problem just join at anytime.

Wow great lauramariecee! I am similar I could be having the engagement photos in June 2019 as well and then engagement party in August and wedding ceremony in February 2020. Other folks who have a special event as a motivation can also join too! Our group will be inclusive and supportive to all.

Awesome see you in the group.

Yeah I totally agree that it is the lifestyle first that causes the weight "settling point"! That notion definitely needs to be considered. If I had a new lifestyle of working out every day and eating a certain way I bet my weight would settle at a new point. More motivation and reason to change and monitor the way I eat…

Sounds like me. I have never gotten to 130 pounds. Barely touched my toe into 131 then jumped back up from there. My body settled at the high of 169. I don't like that place...

That is really interesting that you mentioned staying at a certain weight for 18 months in order for it to become a new set point. I do kind of agree with that. I stayed at my lower 60-62 kg set point for about 18 months but then life circimstances rose it very quickly to my current weight of 67 kg. Which I have been at…

Yeah I don't really think "set zones" are a real thing that our bodies can't overcome. It just feels like it when you maintain at a certain weight for a long time! Then gain or lose and then stay at that certain weight for a long time. Maybe it is just yo-yo-ing though, really.

I most definitely prefer my 135 frame to the current 147 as well!! And hopefully never getting set long term at the high 160's again! I am trying to slowly get the eating closer to weight loss calories and maybe it will start creeping down again.

I don't need to lose 30 pounds but hoping to lose 15 pounds slowly in these coming months before winter! Would love to join you guys and girls.

South Korea!! There's tons of Korean foods in the database here at MFP which I love!

I will be working to lose 10-15 pounds by the end of the year. Let's do it together!
