Hi margod51! My name is Sarah. I am 6'1" and want to lose 50 pounds by my October wedding. I am 25 and a fun girl from St. Louis . I would also love a friend to keep me motivated.

Hello all. My name is Sarah and I'm from WI. I'm 26 and I would like to lose about 30 by the end of summer. I could really use all the motivation I can get!!

Hi!  I've been on this site for almost a week so still pretty new.  My name is Michelle and I'm a fun girl from from the Twin Cities.  I'm 25 and I'm looking to lose 20 lbs by mid summer.  I really need a kick in the pants to keep my motivation up!  And I'm  good motivator also!

make some new friends. I'm pretty new to the whole "forum" thing.My mother in

Hi ladies-

I just turned 26, 5'10 and trying to lose 20 lbs.  Unfortunately I've tried every diet out there- so I'm going with the old low cal/work out thing. 

Margod may have to worry about your mother in law, but susanayd better watch out- i'm in chicago!

 I'm new to this site- is everyone doing low cal?

 

I'm so excited you guys answered. I think I've added most of you to my friend list. Go ahead and add me too! Today has been good so far, not as tired and cranky as I was yesterday. Still trying to talk myself out of going to the gym after work....

Hey All - I could DEF use some motivation. I'm 25 living in NYC and need to lose anywhere from 30-50 lbs (trying to be realistic here - hope for the best, expect the worst!).

I'm on Day 2 and feeling okay. But talk to me in a week and I'll be asking one of you to lock my phone so I can't call for chinese delivery...

Fun girl here! From O-H-I-O....that's Buckeye Country lol. I am 24 ..looking to lose 60+ (that's the goal, any more will be great) I am 5 ft 9in and currently doing the low cal way :)

Hiya, I'm Amy, 26 from Michigan!  Working on losing 50ish pounds.  Only 1 week into and doin' fine.  I'm a great motivator with Willpower of steel, (Or so says my mom)  I've survived quitting smoking cold turkey so I can definately quit over eating cold turkey

 

I am Jessica and I am 27 from NC.  I haven't officially started counting calories but tomorrow should start day one.  I HAVE to have someone there to motivate me and push me to excercise.  I have never been good at sticking to stuff like this and I want to change that.  I am 5'7 and want to lose 30-40 lbs.  My goal is to be in a two peice bathing suit and feel good about myself this summer.  I gained too much weight when pregnant with my son and I need to get it off so I can regain my energy and stop feeling so tired all the time.  I also want to teach him healthy eating habits - something that was never really stressed when I was growing up.  Please help!

Oh and did I mention I have a high school reunion this year.......

Hey Girls! F-U-N Girl here in Louisiana... I am 23 will be in 24 in March. I am trying to lose 50 lbs by the summer! I  desperatley need as many friends to keep me motivated! God I wish I lived up North. I think I am the only person from the South on here...

Hi everyone! I'm 26, turning 27 in June in Australia. Have been struggling to lose 15 pounds for ages. It comes off, it goes back on, I guess that makes me a bit of a yoyo :)  Usually I'm doing well and then something comes along to throw me off track - holiday, break-up, work changes, moving house, you name it. Anyway I've been doing no carb diets for ages, finally letting carbs back into my life, and trying to diet the healthy way, although I'm still trying to work out what works for me, and I know this is going to take a while if I want to do it the right way, so I really need some motivation!

PS Amy when I read your post I thought you were talking about not eating cold turkey anymore hehehe. Worked it out eventually :)

Hi all,

23 year old from Massachusetts here. Getting married in June. Recently (like the last six months) gained 30-20 lbs and I'm just trying to lose the 20 before the wedding and maybe a total of 50 by next year.

Love food, its my hero. I get crazy cravings- and so far I'm just trying to cut back and log everything and its calories, but boy am I no where near what everyone says is that calorie intake weight loss level.

 Anyway, could really use some heavier ladies who are trying to lose- I need secrets of how to stay motivated and just not eat that Big Mac....

 

Thanks!!! :)

Hi! I'm new. I'm 21 and live in Florida and I want to lose 15lbs. I've been on this for 4 days and I lost my first pound! yay. lol. I've never really tried anything like this before, but I'm feeling good about it so far.

hey, I'm 22. from chicago!! Looking to lose 40 pounds! yo-yo a lot... looking to stick with something and make a lasting change! need some movitation as well. I always cave in to my cravings! its bad, then i pig out. What should i do when i get a craving i know they drink water and wait 20 minutes. any other ideas?

ok so i just noticed a trigger for myself that i never knew about before....  so my boss goes to sam's club and buys bulk EVERYTHING.  and it is all individually wrapped in that crackling, shiny plastic (mini bags of cheeto's, rice krispy bars, peanut butter crackers, candy bars, etc).  My "office" is right by the door to the kitchen.  I can't see into it, but I can hear everything that is going on in there.  When someone goes in and sifts thru the variety frito lay box for their particular flavor of ddoritos and i can hear that crackle/krinkle of the food that i should NOT be eating... my mouth waters instantly.  good grief.  WILL POWER, WHERE ARE YOU????

Helloooo ladies! I'm 23, turn 24 next month, I'm from CT (holla!) and looking to lose 11 lbs. I'm great at motivating. Personally, I have trouble staying motivated for more than a couple weeks which means that soon I will be needing any help I can get.  And of course, friends my age on this site would be awesome! Here's hoping to make some friends! And did I mention that I love to use exclamation points??

Hi all! I am a 23 year old from Oregon looking to shed some pounds for a vacation in 3 months. I also just happen to be the little sis of MargoD who originally posted this forum! I need buddies as motivators and like Meladori I am good for the first 2-3 weeks and then I trail off. I am 6 feet tall looking to loose 20-25 lbs by April 18th. I would also love tips for avoiding cravings or eating better foods in place of something like chips/ice cream. My work out plan is to do low cal and work out in the AM.

Hey! I am a 26 year old fun girl from sunshine-y Lakeland, FL. My goal is to lose another 40 pounds, hopefully about half of that by my birthday in May. Good luck all!
