I'm 5'11 and my goal weight is 155. Add me if you wish.

Hi! I'm in my 29th year of teaching in Canada. I've taught Kindergarten through to Gr. 8 in the classroom. Out of the classroom, I've taught special education and library. Recently I decided to make the move to high school to teach spec. ed. at the secondary level. I teach students with autism and I love it! We have the…

Hi! I'm 53 with 30 to lose by July. Feel free to add me. I too could use the support, motivation and accountability.

My story is very similar- on and off MFP for a few years- meeting goals then gaining it back. I'm ready to start once again. Feel free to add me if you wish.

Hi! Feel free to add me as a friend. I too am back for another round of MFP. I have 30 lbs to lose by July (after gaining 15 in the last 6 months- UGH!). I can totally relate to the winter/ spring body redo. This has been my pattern for the past few years but this year I seemed to exceed my usual annual summer/fall weight…

Hi! I too am 53 (April), have 30 lbs to lose by August and am in need of support and encouragement. Please feel free to add me to your friend list. I am tired of the yo-yo and desparately want this to be the last time for major weight loss.

I too just recently started, yet again. Add me if you wish and we can support each other.

I depart for Europe in 46 days so this is perfect for me too. I want to be swimsuit ready for sunbathed beaches in the Greek Isles.

Hi! Thanks for the lovely letter and friend request. I am indeed motivated and you sound as motivated as I am. Your weight journey inspires me. It is amazing how fast these extra pounds creep up on us as we are leading busy lives- work, home, kids, parents etc. etc. You sound like a nurturer yourself having had a career as…

Love this group! Count me in. I'm 52, a professional mom with 15 to lose for summer. (Well, I'd be happy with 10- I think 15 is a pipe dream.) Anyway, I need the support of you women who understand how tough it is to lose this weight at our age.:smile:

Hi! I too have about 15 lbs to lose. These seem to be the hardest. Feel free to add me and we can help motivate each other.

Hi! I too am just starting back after several other times. I have 10-15 lbs to lose and I'm struggling. Feel free to add me. Good luck with your attempt!

Hi! Add me if you like. I'm 5'10", 170 and looking to lose about 15 pounds. I too need the motivation and support.

It really is a matter of personal preference. I have an elliptical but much prefer a treadmill. I can stand only about 5 min. at a time on an elliptical but 30 min. or more on a treadmill. When I'm tired, (which is almost always), a treadmill is much more enticing to me than an elliptical. You have to enjoy doing the…

Sure add me! I like your username- very positive.

Yes, the menopausal component is also very real. I hear you. Feel free to add me as a friend.

Hi! I'm 5"10.5 and my goal weight is 155 lbs. I've 15 to go.

Yes, Yes, Yes! I'm 5"10 and have a large frame- great if you want to play football. Not great if you want to appear demure and feminine. I've always been conscious of this fact.

Hi! I'm 5"10, 170 lbs, trying to lose 15. Your post reminded me of a visit I once had in Europe. While I was in Italy, I couldn't find clothes that were big enough. I had to wait until I travelled to Germany before I could buy new clothes. LOL

I'm 5'10", 50 years old, was thin all my life until my doctor started prescribing hormones to aid conception. (At least this is where I have placed the blame. I couldn't possibly blame myself. LOL) I never conceived (adopted instead) but still managed to gain about twenty pounds. I decided the time has come to lose this.…
