    Ultimately I'd like to lose around 100. I'm going to set smaller more manageable goals to start with though. Ideally I'd like to lose about 50 this year (1lb per week)


    Welcome!!

    Good morning my Wednesday Wonders!! I exercised during the Biggest Loser commercials last night and actually did jumping jacks (about 70). No I'm not kidding both feet off the ground at the same time. My daughter confirmed it. She saw air under my feet. I don't remember the last time I was vertical and there was air under my feet.

    Welcome everybody. We got snow in the Seattle area last night and it sure looked pretty on my way to work this morning. Now not so much, as the rain has started.

    How about today, we commit that by the end of the week we will try a new or different fruit or vegetable that we don't normally eat. I saw some starfruit at the grocers last night and relized that I don't think I have ever tried it. So, I bought it. I don't even know how I should eat it. Just slice it into the cute little star shapes and eat it? Does it need peeled? Any suggestions?

    I have had a wonderful day today. I did exercise even though I had a terrible headache and my daughter has been out of school for 3 days b/c of the snow and about to worry me something awful about when she is going back to school.

    41 minutes on my exercise bike= 607 calories burned and 6.74 miles rode. I feel great.

    Hey y'all! I'm 27 years old and started my weightloss journey at 290 on 11/18/2010. I started my journey wanting to lose 125 lbs and have lost 29 so I still have 96 more lbs to go. I am 5'9" tall. Most all of my friends are healthy and trim so I don't have many friends that use MFP. I live in Mobile, Alabama and would welcome any "adds" because I could sure use the motivation! I have 1 son and have been married for almost 5 years. :) Good luck to everyone!

    Hello to all that have responded to this- my name is Terra, in April of last year I had lost 20 pounds and was 60 lbs away from my goal weight. Then, my dad had open heart surgery and then a stroke, and since then I've been battling. You can do the math- I now have 101 lbs. to lose to get to my goal weight. I gained the 20 back and then another 35 on top of it. It's sad how easy it is to do. I am finally learning to deal with my emotions and am on the right path again. I am more than willing to help encourage anyone else who wants it while I am on my way (and can always use the encouraging too). Feel free to add me. :flowerforyou:

    I am in the same boat, Holly. My starting weight is very similar to yours. I'd like to be 200 lbs within the next year and a half or so. Hard work is key. I'll support you, if you do the same for me!!

    Hi Everyone

    1st time posting - I've just joined. I'm currently weighing in at 260lbs and most definitely want to lose more than 100lbs! I'm aiming overall to get down to 140lbs but my fisrt goal is to lose 50lb this year.

    I'm 28, married and have never weighed 140lbs as an adult. I've never tried losing weight before but I want to be having babies in the next couple of years with my husband so I really need to kick myself into gear!

    I would love to give and receive support from people if you don't mind me joining in?

    Thanks xx

    Welcome to MFP! I just recently joined, too! I've lost 29 lbs so far and that's put me at 261 so we are at about the same weight! I would LOVE to be 140 but I'm shooting for 165. I'm also 27 years old and married. I'm hoping to try for my second child once I'm at a healthier weight! Good luck with your journey! :)

    Thanks for the "add", StaciO! :) I just noticed that we've both lost 29 lbs so far! Good job on getting so much water in today! This next week, I'm gonna try extra hard to get in 120 ounces each day! **hopefully** lol
