    I'm with you! I just joined mfp yesterday and I have about 73lbs to use or 33.2kg since I'm in a metric country! I've given myself 22mths to reach my goal weight - by my 40th birthday. Friend me and we can egg each other on :-)

    I am with you too. I am starting this again at 201. Right now my first target is 145 so I need to lose 56 pounds. I would like to do this by October. But my ultimate goal weight is 125 for my age and height. Baby steps first though. I am more likely to reach my goal in steps.

    That's almost exactly my long term goal. I said 30 on my profile but ultimately I'd like to lose 85. So far, so good!:happy:

    I'm with you too! Woke up one morning tipping the scales at 240 - I really should be 150.

    Also going through detox from Alchohol which is what caused the weight gain in the first place - so really needing some support!

    How does this happen - one day you are thin and vibrant and then you wake up and don't even recognize yourself....

    Hi, I am new to this as well.

    I am currently at 190lbs. (13.5 stone) In Summer 2009 i started loosing weight when i reached nearly 16 stone -just a couple of pounds under! (222 lbs) Initially i did quite well, i was taking reductil (with no adverse reactions or medical issues- guess i was one of the lucky ones until it was band and no longer available :o(( ) I was going to Aqua aerobics 4 times a week and i lost an amazing 56 lbs by summer 2010..... Then i split with my long term partner, was very stressful, started going out partying a lot (alcohol, take away etc) and got out of doing the exercise. I have put on 24lbs in the last 5 months or so.

    I want to loose around 30lbs. I know i will still be classed as overweight, but its been a long time since i was anywhere near 140lbs and to be quite frank,; i dont want to be that thin. I like my curves and my boobs too much lol. I want to be a few pounds lighter then i was before it all went wrong.

    So i am in it for the long haul, the only way to loose weight and keep it off is to do it slowly- i am aiming for 1lb a week loss.
