    Hi, I will send you a friend reuest. I have a target loss of 149lbs (for now - might aim for more when I get there!) which will get me just inside a healthy BMI for my height. I am really serious about this. Have been on here for a month now and have lost 14lbs. I also want to get the 'has logged on for 365 days' message :) I exercise most days for at least 30 minutes and am eating around 1300 calories a day. I would be happy to support you :) Oh and well done on the 50lbs :)

    Your opening post may have sounded cold but only to those that are quilty. I for one hide alot of what I do but that has gotten me no where. If I were to open up my diary I would want honest feedback and support. I have a whole lot to lose but am reaching my 50s and am probably too old to hand out with the youngsters. I wish you all the best young lady. Congrats on your sobriety. BTW I am serious.

    Thanks Dan, I'm actually already eating 20% under my TDEE. I figured it out a while ago. (:

    Hi
    I like your post because of how straight talking and honest you are, you remind me of me and ive lost friends being like that , some people can take it and some cant.

    I had someone unfriend me just recently because i made a comment about their diary not being viewable, they took offence and blocked me, but water off a ducks back, as i do not agree with people who write comments like...good job, great day, well done etc etc when they cant even see what that person has ate that day, that person might only have ate 500 cals that day and getting praised for doing so.

    Anyway feel free to take a look at my profile and diary all of which are viewable and if you'd like to add me please do so.
    I have great friends and support on here and i also consider myself a good friend and great support to many on MFP.

    I was 278lbs when i started, almost on the 20 Stone mark (think thats what kicked my *kitten* into action), so i made a start, then found MFP, best find ever.
    Im now at 255lbs and want to get down to approx 126lbs, so i have to lose another 129lbs, its a long road but im in no hurry.

    You will find no exercise on mine but thats down to health problems and surgery etc, very proud of myself that ive achieved what i have so far without the help of exercise.

    Oh, trust me, I know all about losing friends. Both because of my honesty, and my sobriety. But the ones who can deal with those parts about me are some of the greatest people I have had the pleasure of meeting. I sent you a friend request. (:

    Hi! I'm pretty much in a boat identical to yours.

    I'm JoAnna, I'm 24, and to date I'm about 223 lbs. at a height of 5'1". I have a current goal weight right now of 150, and we'll see how I look/feel from there...to be at a healthy BMI the most I could be is around 130 or so but I feel with my curves/hourglass shape that may be a bit low for me. So if I want my goal weight, I have about 73 pounds to go - if I want to be at a healthy BMI, it's about 93.

    Hopefully we can be friends on here, I'll send you a request and we'll see if we can motivate each other to lose this weight. I've just started honestly working out this week after changing my diet for the past ten months, and I've already dropped 7 pounds (I started around 230). 7 down, 73-93 to go :)

    What do you recommend though - healthy BMI or a little more weight but possibly not looking like a weird curvy stick? =P

    Hi Kristina
    My name is Anne & I have been doing this as long as Wheelie_UK has had his account here. I started with him to give him support & not need to cook to many different meals. I didn't have an account at first & didn't know how much I weighed, I only got an account because I was told I was losing weight & didn't believe them. Wheelie_UK said the only way to prove that I was losing weight was to check what I weighed & keep a record. As I was doing this with him to give him support, I may as well set up an account of my own & then I would be able to see if I was eating the right amount for me. when I weighed myself I was 280 pounds, which did surprise me as I thought & felt I was a lot heavier. There is no real way to tell how much I have really lost, but now I am weighing myself & keeping a record here I will at least know from now on. My goal is to lose over half my body weight & get down to 126 pounds if I can.

    I am disabled & need to use a wheelchair when I go out & about. I have Arthritis in every joint, I get Migraine headache every so often, I have Osteoporosis in my Spine & my Spine has at least 3 crushed Vertebra at my last Xray. I am always in pain & some days are worse than others, But at least I am alive. I believe that every day I live is a blessing, as years ago I had a Motorbike accident in which they didn't think I would live because I had head & spinal injuries.

    Things have never been easy for me, but after the accident at least I could say I have my life. Since the accident I have been Married twice & Divorced twice, had my Daughter who is now 22 years old & met Wheelie_UK on 8 August 1996. I am still in a relationship Wheelie_UK & this I have never regretted it, I love him very much.
