26 - female - need to lose 60 pounds-ish - looking for a friend :)

hi,

i'm 26, 5' 8", i joined today and weigh 210lbs.

My first target is going to be 21lbs(10% of what i am now) hopefully in about 3 months, which i don't think is unrealistic.

I could however really do with someone on here to chat to, maybe encourage one another, vent to when i've had a bad day and vice versa. I'm not bothered if your male/female, any age, if you have 2 pounds to lose or 200 pounds to lose, just be really nice to have someone that is going through the same thing as me(ie using CC to lose weight)

look forward to hearing from you all soon :)

Hope it's not too late for me to join your group as well.  I'm not looking to lose a bunch of weight, mainly about 7 pounds.  For me, it's more about eating healthy and toning up.  I hate to admit it in front of all you young babes, but I'm 45 ):  but that doesn't mean I have to look it or feel it.  It is a struggle for me everyday.  I may not have a lot of lbs to lose, but at my age, it isn't easy trying to keep in shape!  As you get older,gravity kicks in and your metabolism kicks out..or disappears all together!!  I work out 5 days a week for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours and I am freaking tired!!  Do I enjoy it?  NOPE!  but I really need to start taking care of myself.  My body was turning into mush!  I have been plenty discouraged....I started in March, took it serious in April and have not lost 1 pd!!!  I was ready to throw in the towel, but thanks to the support I get from all of you, I'm going to keep trying!!  I would love to join all of you and stay positive and be a support for you...if you'll have me.

Hi,

I am also looking for friends who are going through the same thing as I am.  I sometimes feel so discouraged by the whole process, and often it seems like my efforts are not making any impact at all!

I am here if you'd like to vent or look for advice - or just talk :)

thanks fl53095.....after I posted a reply lastnight I did not even look how old that post was that I was replying to (2008?).  I was all over CC last night looking at different new and old posts....right after I sent it I realized I responsed to last years post..oh well, it's still an ongoing problem for a lot of people out there!  I am really trying to be positve because it is a lot of hard work.  One thing I did do was took my workout up a notch.  Hopefully I start seeing results.  Are you looking to lose weight, or just tone up, or trying to be healthy or all three?
