Hi. Very similar goals! But I gained the weight because I had a baby. Current weight 161 Goal 140 I'd love support and to help give it Annette

Hi I have a two month old. I would love to join. I gained about 40 lbs during my pregnancy and have 20 more to lose. It's so difficult. I'm hoping this will help Annette

Hey I am a teacher too!! Let's be friends.

Hi! I have been on MFP for about 7 months. I have met my goal but need help maintaining! I don't know everything but I know what worked and didn't work for me. So if any of you would like a friend please add me. I am on here everyday so I comment and encourage a lot.

Hi, I am a teacher too. I have been teaching for 5 years. I gained about 15 pounds over those 5 years. After being on MFP I have lost that weight and then some.... Counting calories was the biggest thing for me. I just didn't realize how much I was eating. I also pay attention to my portions now. I know you can do this.…

I don't have a formula just experience. I'm 5'6, 26 years old, and weigh 132 (my goal is 130 and I started at 155). I upped my calories from 1200 to 1350 a few weeks ago and I am still losing. I am slowly getting myself to maintenance. Sorry that's not the exact answer you're looking for but we seem to have similar goals,…

You don't need weight watchers!!! You have this. It's better. I have done weight watchers about 5 times . I have never been this in shape IN MY LIFE. This is all of the motivation and support you could ever need I promise. If you want some extra support I would love to be your friend. .... I know that many people would…

I go all the time. I love it. Get their frozen chicken breasts and tenderloins. You don't even need a knife to eat them...sooooooo amazing! I also love their low calories cheeses.

It's so funny that I saw this post. The first person (co-worker) noticed today. I have gone from 155 to 140... so 15 lbs. I think that people notice but don't always say it. Working with 99% women I find myself not sure if I should comment on weight loss. Sometimes it can be a sensative subject. I think some people feel…

I would love to be your friend and give support. I have felt like that at times.. so much that I have screamed at the scale haha. Honestly 5 pounds in 3 weeks is not bad though. 2 pounds a week is the top of the recomended (healthy) weight loss amount. I have lost around 13 pounds. If I average it out by weeks I have lost…

I still drink wine. I have read about alcohol slowing down your metabolism though. http://www.livestrong.com/article/411026-does-alcohol-slow-metabolism/ . I try to say no to drinking during the week. On weekends I just make sure to log what I drink. This is supposed to be a lifestyle change ..not a diet. To me that means…

I need the same thing. Only a few people comment. Which I love....but I would like more motivation. I'm friending you. :)

I think it's great that you are coming back to this. I saw a quote yesterday that really hit/helped me. Maybe it will help you too. "If you're sick of starting over...than stop giving up. " ....well it was something like that. I am going into this journey with that mindset. You can add me. I would love to help support you…

I do about 10-15 extra minutes of stretching. I found that after day two I wan't in pain anymore. I am on day 6 now and I already see a big difference in what I am able to do. I am jumping higher, lifing more, and bending further. Before the work out I high kick around my basement and do a few extra "movement" stretches.…

that's my drink of choice but remember that's only one ounce (not even a whole shot glass). I have a shot glass with measurments, so I don't overdue it. Hope that helps.

I am in a group called 30 Day shred - 2/7 start you should join.

you go girl

Thank you everyone for being so supportive and informative. I feel really excited to start this. We are all here for each other. I can't wait to hear about all your successes through this.... I know there will be many!

I am starting today!! We can do it.

I have heard that it's hard as well. I am a little nervous. I'm glad we can be here to support each other!

I wrote a topic about the same time as you about starting the 30 day shred. No one posted anything though....boo hoo. I am starting it tonight. I would love to be friends and support each other.

You sound a lot like me too. I usually start a diet and then give up after a week or so. Something feels different this time though. I think having support really helps. You can add me if you want :) P.s I have noticed that I only over eat if I deny myself everyday. I think if you let yourself cheat a little once in a…

I eat lots of meat so I can't help you there. Have you tried seafood. I eat a lot of chicken. The trick is to change it up. go out and buy marinades and spices. Try adding it to your salad, veggie wrap, and stir fry. Sometimes when I get home late and don't want to cook a big mean, I make make an omelette with lots of…
