Well, what are you doing now? Hard to give advice on what to change if I don't know what you're already doing!

I recently read a book called "Stop Whining, Start Living". It really put into perspective for me that I need to stop complaining about everything that gets in my way and just work towards my goals! I starting preplanning my meals, workouts, etc and now I feel really motivated to do more. It's almost like I took on a "fake…

Thanks for your responses. I'm willing to work out to make these goals and I'm going to stay positive about this :)

I sent you guys friend requests! I need support too!

Hi there! I have about 60 lbs to lose too and I've gained the weight during my relationship as well (I'm recently married and gained throughout dating, engaged, marriage). I'd love to be your friend and support and motivate each other! I'll send you a friend request!

I'm in Bakersfield! Hi! I also work a stressful job and sometimes have long hours. I struggle with working out vs. watching tv to unwind. So what I've been doing is I rest for about an hour after I get home from work, then when Extra comes on TV at 6:30pm, I setup my laptop in front of the tv and I workout while I watch…

Hi! I'm an emotional eater like you and am working on changing my eating habits. I joined a group on FB to learn how to eat clean and try to mainly follow that lifestyle. There are times when life gets the best of me and I give in to cravings but I am mainly able to control my cravings. I also am following an at-home…

Congrats on quitting smoking!! And welcome to MFP! I'm always looking for friends to support and motivate! Feel free to add me as a friend!

I'm supposed to be eating 1700 calories, which I find to be high too, but I've found that if I eat clean (no processed foods, refined sugars, etc) and eat every 2-3 hours, I'm losing weight. So I'm going with it to see how it works! Would love to be friends for support!

Hi there! I'm back after some time away too. I'm currently doing T25! Have you heard of it? It's by Shaun T who does Insanity. I really like it and find it easier than Insanity (I tried Insanity and couldn't do it...) Would love to be friends for support!

I just finished week 2 and I'm loving it! I started a facebook page to share my journey and would love support from others! https://www.facebook.com/WorkoutToLeanOut Thanks and good luck to you all :)

I'm on week 3 and love it! Definitely do the new to class option until you feel more comfortable! There is also a girl that does low impact moves, so I've been doing some of the moves until I can build up more to do the full moves!

wow you look amazing and such an inspiration!

I'm in Chicago! And one side of my family is from Cork!

I've been taking Zumba classes for a month now and I love it! I go twice a week!

Nikki - First of all, welcome! I just joined last week, so I am new as well. I just want to say that the reasons listed on your page for why you want to get into shape are so real and beautiful. I recently went flying for the first time in a Cessna with my boyfriend who is a pilot. I will tell you, it is an experience that…

I am currently doing WW and MFP. I'm a brand new MFP member though, I just joined on Thursday, when I hit my highest weight while being on WW for 4 months... I have done WW on and off for years. I lost 40 lbs on it 4 years ago, but gained it back. I have a job that makes it hard to attend a scheduled meetings on the same…

I turn 30 next Sunday!!

I would love to lose 20 by May and 40 by August as well!

I just started yesterday and need friends as well! I would love to help motivate all of you if you will do the same for me!!
