My name is Nay and my goal is to lose up to 78lbs. 4 Monthes ago I was going to the gym everyday and had been for 6 months. At that time I lost 30lbs which I was really proud of. But I lost the grove 4 months ago and stopped going and gained some of that 30lbs back. Now after 4 months of not going to a gym I just joined a new gym this week and have started to go again. Today was day two and I am pretty sore, but not giving up this time.

My name is Bethany, but most people either call me Beth or Rhiss. (Rhiss is mostly for online people..haha) I'm 21 years old and my goal is to be 100 pounds smaller by summer 2013. Right now, I'm currently at 238 pounds, 130 pounds is about the healthy weight for someone my size. So that's where I'm headed. I'm ready to be healthier. My main motivation is that all through high school adn middle school I always wanted to wear a bikini. So, now I'm going to try. My boyfriend is another motivation, I don't want to lose him and I don't want him to lose me before I leave this world of old age. ._. I have too much living to do! today is day two.. I'm hoping I don't throw myself into an asthma attack again, this isn't fun to deal with lol. I think I started out too ambitious. >.>

Hi I'm wanting to lose about 100 pounds. I have been going to my local gym regularly for about a year now and I have lost a total of 12 pounds. I eat healthy too so I thought I should come here to boost my workouts. I am determined and not giving up on my goals. I already feel better, I have more endurance, and I am stronger than I was before. I am looking forward to continuing my weight loss journey I'm just hoping that there will be a little more weight loss involved...

Greetings everyone! I am Eda - 28 years old and about 50lbs overweight. I would like to loose about 50-60lbs, if possible. I am planning on doing some intensive training to begin with and then gradually have a steadier schedule.
I have signed up for Yoga that I do 3x a week and Salsa Dancing 2x a week during lunch hour. I will be taking Cycling Classes 2x a week in the evenings. I have joined this website to provide me with better resources for additional cardio and weight lifting instruction. In particular, I would like to do weights in the morning (as I have access to it then ) and cardio in the evenings.
I do have a question about supplements - I would like to do a total body clense, but am not sure which product would be safe.
In addition, I am taking DymaBurn as a fat burning supplement and will be using Syntha Whey protein as meal replacement (mostly dinners). (Finally learned how to make those shakes delicious and nutritious!!) And with this just Women's Centrum vitamins.
Is all this safe? Or is it an overload? I want to be able to keep going not burn out.
Any comments/suggestions/enhancements is greatly appreciated.

Hey there, My name is Rachel and I'm a 22 year old mama. I gained my first 40 pounds when I was pregnant with my son and gained another 25 after I had him. Well now my boy is going on 2 years old in a couple months and I've only lost 20 pounds. Don't get me wrong I think 20 pounds is awesome, I've never actually lost that much weight before. My main problem is I lose motivation. I get so caught up in the quick fix I don't look at the gradual proccess. I'm great at being gungho about a workout plan, until the third or fourth workout comes around then I find myself fizzling out. I don't have a specific workout plan other then what I just got on this site, but I have a ton (a TON) of Pilates videos, and while I don't have a diet now, I'm always looking for new recipes to try and would love to get some from here. So hey, here's to happy weight loss!

hello I'm justin I am new to the sight. I have lost over 100 lbs before then had a shoulder injury along with a severe break up that put me into a spiraling down pitfall back into overeating and eating complete crap. Before I knew it I have almost gained everything that I had lost back. I am now back up to 325 lbs and had a wake up call with a back injury. I have been going to work out after work and eating much healthier with a 12 lbs weight loss in about a month. When I first lost weight I was llifting weights along with a cardio work out. I am now doing cardio and light weight lifting due to dr restrictions. Also before I had 2 other guys that was a huge motivation. Now that time has passed they do not work out at the same gym and I do not have a work out buddy to help me keep motivated.. I'm hopeing that this will help the motivation to keep me on track. I

if you start going to the gym on a regular basis you will start to notice the regulars that you see there at the same time you go.. once you have your routine down start striking conversations with the people that you see before long you will feel that you have several workout partners that you look forward to seeing everytime you work out. If you dont feel that you can do that finding a friend that wants the same results and making your they will be reliable is a great way in finding a work out buddy.

Hey,
Just found this place and it's great. Hoping it will help me reach my goal. My biggest goal is to get in great shape. I'm a major geek and do occasional costumes. The two costumes I want to do the most are green lantern and darth malek. Wel if you google them you will see they are not forgiving costumes as far as bodies go. So got to get cracking.
One big detriment I do have will be diet. I have celiacs. It's gotten a lot easier to avoid gluten, but I'm really limited on what I can take in. You would be surprised what's dangerous for me. Just gotta find safe work arounds for me which is annoying at times.

Hi, my name is Laura. I'm 6'2" and weigh 230lbs, my goal is to lose 50lbs. I have a hard time with motivation and my husband doesn't have much interest in exercising with me. I live approx. 30 minutes from my friends so for the most part I'm on my own. Joining a gym is not an option for me so I am trying to come up with exercises to do at home. It's a struggle for me to stay motivated when I feel like I have no support. I really hope joining here will help me stick to my weight loss plan and become a source of support to keep going.

Hiya,
I'm Steph and have about 65lbs to lose. Just turned 33 today and have 2 kids and work full time so am limited to at home workouts and walking to work when I can. Have tried a few different things and sites in the past I really just need a reason to keep coming back and keep myself motivated!! I always find that once I'm going and working it I am fine but the moment I have a bad day I stop completely. ' Its easier to STAY motivated - then GET motivated! Would someone to check in with and keep each other motivated.
xxSteph

hi im dave and ive just joined the site. I am currently around 240lbs and im 5'8" and ive been like this for at least 4 years i am now 33 years of age. I was always big as a child and was bullied constantly throughout my school years until i was offered some speed which i became hooked on for many years due to the fact that i lost so much weight. i built up so much confidence as well, but after a while i became to much for my head and gave it up. very quickly i got fatter and fatter did less and less (also due to me having a back injury which i will have for life) i am looking now to loose around 50lbs and i know it will take some time but i need to keep positive.

May sound silly to some, but I know me to well. So here goes.... starting weight 210, first goal.... lose 20 lbs. Getting below 200 is a great start, and I will start on the next 20. I want to keep my goals attainable, so I figure 20 lbs at a time is less intimidating, but that's just me. I would like to get to 140, but tone my body back to where it once was at the same time... so here goes nothing!

Hello My name is Nicole. I am 27. I was always chunky as a child. Finally lost weight when I was 16. Kept it off for three years and then I became pregnant with twins. Pegnancy was easy but afterwards my body was shot. I would black out from walking at the slowest pace on the treadmill for 10 min. It took a lot to lose weight the first time but it was so much easier then now!. I got results just by exercising. Those days are over
Every time I exercisenow I lose ten lbs only to gain twenty when I stopped. I now currently weight 201 lbs at 5'2 I want to be 135, that would be 65 lbs. On my body with my shape 135 is skinny even though its at the high nd of the BMI. How did Beyonce lose 15 lbs a month I would kill for that progress! LOL. Ah well I'll take 3 lbs a month. Seriously...please.

Hi I'm Anna. I have just turned thirty and am sik of being unhealthy and overweight. When I was younger I was quite slim. I have always struggled with self-esteem and as such would constanly yoyo diet. I have had periods where I am extremely motivated and will lose 20kg. Then something will happen in life- new job, child etc and then I put it all back on again. However, I refuse to be thirty and fat and after a very scary step onto the scales I am ready to do something about it. My goal is to lose about 30kg (not sure what that is in lbs). I am hoping that this site will help me to reach my goal.

Actually I am very unhappy with how I feel so I decided today if the first day of the rest of my life and I am going to do something about my obesity.
I am very overweight and top the scale at 302. I have recently developed a thyroid problem and for ten months I barely could even move and droped eleven pounds since I have been on meds. I really need to drop at least 60 pounds before December when I go to India for work. I need motivation and support as I don't have that in my life. I am prediabetic and I want to prevent myself from getting this disease. I would appreciate any one suggestions and support.

I lost from 250 to 125. No pills, no surgery, just hard work and determination. Two months ago I quit smoking and I now weigh 170. I am depressed, I worked so hard to lose it and get healthy only to quit smoking and gain it back. I want to lose 50 pounds and tone back up.

Hey everyone! I'm Jen. I am 32 years old and ready for a positive change in my life! I currently weigh 218 which is unacceptable. My goal weight is 145 (where I was in High School). I have struggled with my weight almost all my life, yo-yoing from slim to obese and just slightly overweight. It is time to put an end to that. I need to get healthy for myself most of all, but in the next few years I would like to start a family. I know what I have to do, I just gotta get off my butt and get it done! So here's to the new me!

Hi guys! My name is Amanda I am a Mother to a one yr old, full time student, and a part time worker. I was always very active until I had to stop going to school to work. I was 200 pounds by the time I got pregnant with my son and after he was born I was 265 pounds. My new job that I started in May requires alot of walking and I have lost 20 pounds . Now I would like to loose 100 pounds and reach my goal of 145 pounds. I am 5'3 and have never been this big. It has become very uncomfortable and I am getting married in July of next year and would like to be no more than 175 by then. Im hoping that I can stay committed this time and Im hoping to figure out how to return back to my normal active and energetic self. This is helping already I think! Thanks!

Hello, I am Dana, I am also new to this sight. I want to lose 80lbs and am currently 231lbs and 48 years old. I do belong to a gym but I work 5pm-1 am plus an hour commute both ways.with that I am on medications that cause weight gain. I am currently walking my building at double my normal pace. as silly as it may sound it is helping me. I am also watching what I eat but at times that can be very difficult but still making the best choices I can. My question is this: is there such a thing as power foods such as hemp proteins that can help me? I am doing good to eat once a day let alone 5 times. I am ready to make the lifestyle changes needed but do not plan on leaving my job or shift for the time being. Oh I also stretch well several times a night. Any advise welcome.

When I worked 2nd's and 3rds I would go to the gym for 1.5 everyday before I went to work. When I got off of work I went straight to bed. When I did this I was in probably the best shape of my life. if your busy and snack a lot prepackage healthy foods so it is easy to grab out of the fridge, things like grapes, carrots, celery, chicken, turkey, nuts, all of these actually taste good and most people forget about them and just stick to getting a snack wrap at mcdonalds because they think it saves time. You would be suprised how much time prepackaging these foods will save not to mention the money saved from snacking on junk! ... good luck and welcome to the site

Hi everyone! My name is Diamond I'm 25 and I had my son 10 months ago. I hit my highest weight of 217lbs during my pregnancy because of stress. After my son was born I lost those first 17lbs then I started school. Instead of gaining the freshman 15 I just stopped losing. Then I injured my foot and was out of commission for a few months which discouraged me. I am at 200lbs right now and my goal is 150-160lbs. I am so uncomfortable at this weight. I don't want to be super skinny I just want to get back down to where I was comfy. My son is my motivation. I want to be able to run and play with him and teach him to live healthy. I need help staying on track. I'd love to have someone to push me. I think I'd do much better if I had someone counting on me besides my son because he loves me no matter how big or small I am.

Heyy all! I am Vasilia and I am just starting my journey on losing weight. I am about to be a 23 years old. I am currently a size 24 pant size. And my goal size would be a size 12. I have been heavy ever since I was little. Now I decided I dont want to be the one with the pretty face anymore. I plan to lose weight by watching what I am eatting and working out alot. I am realizing that losing weight like this and in order to keep he weight off you need to make this a life style change. I would like to be 80lbs lighter by April. And I am hoping with all your help I will get there. I am planing to follow the weight watcher plan because I feel its the best method to help you make a life style change when it comes to weight loss.

Hi everyone, my name is Andrea and Im new to the sight. I weigh 173 and would like to get down to 125. So, I have about 50lbs to lose. I have been trying to lose weight for a long time and I have seen no results. I was so frustrated my doctor tested my thyroid but that was normal. Right now, I consume less than 500 calories a day (I do not have an eating disorder, Im just not hungry) So, my goal is to eat more food, but good food and stick to an exercise plan. I have a VERY hard time staying motivated especially when I do not see results. I am hoping I can find the success and motivation to not give in after the 3rd day!!

Now I am in the new place in life. I am a single mom who works full-time and doesn't feel like I have anytime for myself! I am trying to figure out this whole balance thing. I have some hurdles to over come, like having to live with my parents until we are back on my feet. Living in the mountains where the gym is open from 6am - 9pm. Not having the freedom to go whenever I want or before work. I don't want to miss time with my kids since I had to go back to work. I will also have to do the eating better.
My plan is to get up at 5am and do a quick home workout. Get my abs and back, back to where they used to be. And do some resistance/endurance training. Then, when my kids go to bed at 8pm, go to the gym for some cardio and more intense body workouts. Hopefully this will help me get back into it and get this weight off again! I would like to loose 100 lbs.
