Hi I'm at 208, I lost 40lbs last year but then had major burn injury and wasn't allowed to lose weight during healing. (Actually had to consume 3,000+ calories per day for the skin to heal.). Now I am back 5 months later and am ready to get down to 130 where I was 5 years ago. The doctor has ok'd me to resume my weight loss! So tired of not being able to move freely. I'm 5'6" and I'm carrying around a 78lb backpack all the time. But what I figure is that doing all the exercise I am doing will pay off cuz when I get down to my goal weight, an actual 30lb backpack will feel like nothing on the trails! Or so I'm hoping

omg that's exactly how i feel. i have NEVER been so poor that we truly had no food, but the feeling is still there.

I started 5 days ago at 265, my highest ever, today at 260. My ideal weight is something like 130 (yeah right) but i too would be delighted with simply getting under 200. My honeymoon is in just under 3 months, and seriously all i want is to be able to enjoy it

I started 5 days ago as well at 237, my first goal is 182, although I might get there and decide I want to lose more but anything's a start I suppose! I'm 21, 5'5" and live in Cumbria, UK. Would love anyone to add me as a friend to try and keep me on the straight and narrow!

I am 5'1.. Started at 241...down to 231 now. I am breaking my goals into smaller sections so that it doesn't seem so overwhelmed. I would like to ultimately be done to 150 or so, maybe less. Would love to be friends.

I'm 172lbs and preparing to change my diet and lifestyle now. I want to lose at least 42lbs - if u can make it to losing 50lbs that would be fantastic as it would take me to my pre pregnancy weight of 132lbs. I plan to take it in stages. Would be nice to work together through the what in sure is going to have ups and downs. Good luck .

5'5, I started at 280lbs. I'm 237 now so still a little heavier than you now. Realistically I'm trying to get to 197 by October 1st as I'm taking my kids to Disney World for the first time. I'd like to be 180 so I'm going to keep pushing harder and harder. We can do this! Everyone can add me if they need an accountability buddy.

I'm 5'6" and started at 215, hoping to lose 75 pounds before a European vacation in October. I'm down 8 in the last three weeks. Feel free to add me if you'd like

I am in the same boat, I want to lose like 100lbs but I use smaller goals because they seem more attainable. Add me if you like! I will send a request!

Very inspiring, I have about the same stats as the poster.. is everyone counting calories? Did you have it set at 2lbs a week or 1, hope OP doesn't mind the questions.. this is very helpful

Hi thank you for responding to this thread ☺.I have it set at 2lbs a week..However some times I vary it between 2lbs ton1.5 to 1lb depending on the day.I do this on days I have over eaten but still want to make sure Im in the losing part of spectrum..I know sounds confusing
