Okay, here it goes: age: 40 (ouch! that hurt) height: 5'5 starting weight: 212 lbs (I got started a bit before I found MFP) current weight: 147 lbs goal weight: 130 lbs Been stuck for some time between 144 lbs and 147 lbs and I do not know what I'm doing wrong....looking for some new friends and motivation!!

Thank you! These are great ideas! Mine are 7 and 10, so this would be perfect for them.

LOL! It's not harsh. It actually made me laugh. That's what I would do also. LOL!

Wow! Thank you everyone for the wonderful idea's and support! I know I will figure something out and will have to in order to keep this lifestyle change and new body! You are all wonderful inspiring women! Thank you so much!

How old were you when you got engaged? 24 How long had you been together before getting engaged? 3 1/2 years, 1 1/2 years engaged How old were you when you got married? 26 Are you still together (if so, for how long)? Yes, 18 years together (2/22/12); 13 years married (2/20/12) :o)

I feel for you. I'm in the same boat. I have not lost any significant amount of weight since the summer. I keep going up and down the same 3 or 4 lbs. I do know that the closer you get to your goal weight, the harder it is to lose. I see you have only 21lbs left to lose, that could be why it's getting harder to lose. When…

Thank you guys! Need the encouragement. I know that I've lost so much already, but I really want the last 15lbs gone and they are just sticking around. Two steps forward, three steps back kind of thing and it's getting old. I promise I won't quit, but I may end up having an I don't care what I eat day and that just scares…

I've been doing okay this week until I woke up Tuesday morning with a cold. Didn't work out yesterday because I feel like pooh and I don't think I will be working out today either. Bummer!!!

80lbs. I started at 212lbs and am currently hovering between 147 and 144 lbs. I want to get to my ultimate goal of 132lbs.

Hi Ayla! Thanks for starting this group! Hi, I'm Tina. I'm originally from New Jersey, USA, but moved to Georgia about 5 years ago. I'm a happily married mom of 3. My husband and I have been together for almost 18 years and married for almost 13. I have a 10 year old girl and twin 7 year old boys. I've also struggled with…

Great job! That's awesome! Keep up the good work!

I was never happy with the way I looked. I've always been overweight all my life, but once when I was about 25 years old. I lost a lot of weight on Jenny Craig, of course, once I had kids (I have a 10 year old girl and twin 7 year old boys), I gained it back and then some. My family has a history of diabetes, heart…

You look awesome! Great job! I have twin 7 year old boys and I know what having twins can do to your body, but it's all worth it! Congrats on the 40 lbs down! Keep up the great job!!!

That's awesome! I'm on LV 3 Day 2 of 30DS and I have lost inches already. I don't see the scale moving much, but I've been having trouble with that lately. Inches lost, though, is a good thing. Keep up the great work and feel free to friend me if you want!

Great job! Keep up the good work!

Awesome poem! Thank you!!!

Awesome NSV! Always makes me feel good when that happens. LOL!

I would have to say chocolate, pizza, bread, french fries......I love them all and they have been the hardest things to cut down on.

Welcome! I'm from the Savannah area of GA! This is a great place for support and encouragement! Feel free to add me!

Welcome! MFP is a great place for support. I love it here. Feel free to add me!

Welcome back! MFP is a great place to be. Feel free to add me!

Yes, I log mine as circut training. :-)

A coworker called me skinny! :happy:

Awesome! I remember when that was me and it felt so good!!! Wait until you go from overweight to normal. Boy will you do the happy dance! Great job! Good luck with you journey!! :flowerforyou:

That's an amazing story! You are an inspiration to us all! Good luck on the rest of your journey! We are all pushing for you!

I'm not at my goal, but I've lost 65lbs in one year and 9 months. I want to say I lost the first 50lbs in the first year. 15lbs to go! Slow and stead is the way to go!

It's not any one person, but a few are up there. You are all an inspiration to me! WE are all wonderful strong, inspirational people! Yay us!!!!:drinker:

Hmmm....I may have to try this. I don't think I've adjusted my protein and carbs in a while.

I know what you mean. I've tried that also, but I don't think I "fall off the wagon" very well. LOL! I'm to afraid that I will over do it to the point of gaining to much weight, even though I know one day will not hurt you.
