We've got very similar stats! My heaviest is 180s, CW: 161, GW: 130-ish. When I stuck with it last time around, I got down to like 125, but with my hips that was still a size 6. I'd love to get back to that ballpark again, and after dozens of false starts, I'm here again in earnest! Like you said, when the motivation…

I'm also a repeat MFP-er. Had great success, got lazy with it, gained weight back, and here I am (for the millionth time). If any of you ladies would like, feel free to add me! I'm in my 30s, CW: 161, GW: 130ish.

Hey there! I'm also looking to lose 30-ish pounds. I joined MFP several years ago and went from 180 to 125, but then life happened and I've yo-yo'ed around a bit. I've been back on MFP for 2 weeks again and already about 10 lbs down. Feel free to add me if you'd like. I'm afraid I'm not a great source for tips as I'm still…

Bummer, it says the discussion is closed! Is registration maxed out?

I didnt set out this journey with the intention of restricting friendship and support to women only. And certainly not all men are an issue. But the few who immediately began making inappropriate remarks to me in my inbox were sufficient for me to decide to be female only moving forward. And in my experience, it's not…

Awesome suggestions! Thanks!

I've got a very similar story. Lost 50 pounds about 7 or 8 years ago. Then life happened. Now I'm back with 30 to lose. We did it once, we can do it again! Good luck, you've got this!

I joined mfp 8 years ago and lost about 50 pounds. I was looking and feeling great! Life happened, and here I am again. This time I have 30 to lose. The concept is simple: eat less, move more. Easier said than done, of course. But calorie counting can force you to be honest with what you eat and help prioritize when treats…

You've got this!! 😊

I'm 29, 5'3", and currently around 180. Looking to lose around 50 pounds or so. Anyone else, feel free to add me!

Hey all! I had success on here before, then gained it all back and then some. I'm at my heaviest ever, right around 190, and am looking to drop 50 pounds. Feel free to add me too!

I have horrible depression and anxiety, and consequently low self esteem and poor body image as well. I managed to lose a whole bunch of weight using this site before, but gained it all back. I've got about 50 pounds to lose this time around (maybe a bit more?) and would love to have some other women for support and…

I've been overweight for my entire adult life. I used MFP to lose a lot of weight several years ago, but I ended up gaining it all back and then some. Hoping to get back at it and lose weight, get healthier, and love my reflection a bit more this year. I'm a stress/emotional eater, and I have horrible depression and…

Hello there! I've actually has so much success with this app (lost a ton of weight several years ago) and then life happened and I've gained it all back and then some. I have horrible depression and anxiety and tend to use food to self medicate. It's really hard for me to start eating healthier because my mental illness…

We can also have everyone give suggestions for weekly challenge ideas (ie water intake, exercise goals, etc) and rotate through them to give weekly things to focus on.

I've been looking for a challenge that was kicking off, so this is perfect! Looks like a lot of us have some similar stats and goals, so I'm really looking forward to making some friends and losing some weight! SW: 181 CW: 181 GW: 140 UGW: 125

I already requested to join, but just saw it is full :( Let me know if a spot becomes available!

I'm also looking for a challenge to join. My goal is to lose 40-50 lbs

The chocolate mint ones are great!

I was in marching band :lol: Flute and piccolo. Plus orchestra. And I taught myself guitar and a little piano. I love British tv (DW, Sherlock, Call the Midwife, Downton Abbey, Orphan Black, Top Gear....) and other generally needy friendly shows (GOT, Firefly, Supernatural, Jeopardy, Criminal Minds if that counts...) I'm…

Hi there! I'm at 175, looking to get down to 130ish. I'll send you an add! And anyone else can feel free to add me as well :smiley:

Bump

I'm always looking for new friends! Feel free to add me!

Hi everyone! I used mfp to lose 40 pounds in the past, but I gained it all back. Looking to restart this journey. This time, I'm hoping to keep it off! For me, this isn't just about the physical changes. I have severe depression and anxiety and I'm hoping that this lifestyle change will truly help me change my life. Feel…

Funny! I'm originally from the eastern shore as well! Small world... I'm currently in South Carolina

I gave salsa dancing a whirl! Also, I am a terrible salsa dancer. Apparently rhythm helps a lot :D

Hi all, I just joined (so feel free to add me!) I've never meditated before, but I'll give it a shot tonight :smiley:

Ack, this is an older thread but I'm in charleston too!

Sounds like me! I could win awards for stress eating and weight fluctuation... I'm 26, a mom, and a total nerd. I've had success on mfp in the past, but I gained the weight back. I'm looking to lose around 40 pounds and want to find some like minded people who can help support and motivate me!
