From what I have seen on the board so far I probably have the most weight to lose. I weigh 360lbs My first
goal is the christmas challenge of 10lbs, I feel I can do more than that but that is my first goal. My first long term goal is May 16th my birthday I want to be at 260lbs. I know this is a long journey, but I am up for the challenge. Never been Skinny and have reached 40 years old, it's time for a change

I peaked at 220 and made my decision to lose. I figure I should be about 180, so 40 lb total for me and I'm down to 204 since the end of October. I don't have a particular goal date set. It took me 16 years or so to put on this extra weight, so a few months give or take to get it off is peanuts.


(While I can still edit) I wanted to add that it's inspiring to hear some of you folks with a hundred or more pounds to lose and that you are doing it! Makes my measly 40 pounds pale in comparison.

I started my journey at the beginning of September. I weighed 239 lbs and was very disappointed in myself. Today I weigh 201 so 38 pounds down & my goal is to reach 175 & maintain. 64 pounds sounded like alot three months ago but now I can almost see the end of the tunnel. This site is THE BEST & definately helps me every day.

me? i weighed 348 when i started near the end of October. I battle Diabetes and an underactive Thyroid, which makes it harder to loose weight. So far i m down 7 lbs. I go to curves 5x week, and my first weigh and measurment is coming up on the 29th. My goal is to be down a total of 10 by then. Might just squeak it in there, lol. In total, i want to get down to 200 lbs...loosing 148. I don't expect to reach that for a long time, but i figure it is about making a lifestyle change. By the time i reach my goal weight, i might have made my changes into permanent habits, lol...
The hardest times will be when i plateau...and i thank God for my finding this site. I know that even during the easy times, i will use this tool as best as i can. It is really working.:drinker: yay

I don't know how many pounds I want to lose. I want to lose INCHES. I want to be comfortable in my clothes and my skin and love my body. I haven't loved my body in a long, LONG time...scratch that...I don't think I have ever loved my body. It's hard work. The local YMCA was open this AM, so I went to work out for a little while. It felt good to actually push myself enough to go on a holiday, and I felt like a million bucks for doing it. Well, that's a little off-topic, but I hope everyone has a great turkey day!

Im 180 and i want to get to 150. But I'm really really out of shape, so What i really want is to tone and shape, which I think is hard work too. I get really inspired when I hear that someone is trying to lose as much weight as 100 or 150 pounds, Good luck to all of you, but remember it's not just the weight you lose but also how you feel about yourself. You actually WE should all be proud of ourselves for trying.:bigsmile:

My prayers go out to all of you on this Thanksgiving day. As today is the start of many challenges throught the holiday season. God willing and your determination, this too shall pass, as with the season. Keep your spirits high and remember Gods love for you is real. Keep up the good work and see it through purdy soon you'll see the new you. The true you God created you to be.

Hitting the scales at 222 about a month back I too thought and prayed about to do. It took me the past 10 years to get here, and I too know I look forward to seen the old slimmer me. Thanks to older age and wisdom I can now see the light at the end of my trouble. I never counted cals in the past, I just ate what was there to eat. I was fairly good and heathy food most of the time - just to much of a good thing at one time. Not makeing time for more than one good meal a day. Even then, the meal was not becuse I was hungry, it was to keep me going. As I knew enough to know that food keeps the body alive. As I got older I found my metabolizm had kinda shut down. Then to find it was me who shut it down and how. I blamed it on age not eating habits. Glad to know the truth before it got really out of hand. Losing 50 lbs or so doesn't seem to be a big problem for me know that I know the truth about how it got there to begin with. Changing old habits has been a challege don't get me wrong. But with Gods help and prayer He has gotten me back on track...

I weigh 140 right now and want to lose 15 lbs....my ideal weight is 125, but I would even be happy right now with losing 10 and being at 130! It's the *old* remaining baby weight that I'm having a hard time taking off.

I got on the scale this morning ,it was 287, so don't give up on your goals.I have been large my whole life but I finally ,thanks to this site, have been able to lose the wieght and also inches.I have dropped fron size 46 (which was tight) to a comfortable 42. My shirt size has dropped too.As my also in my 40's I know how hard it is .My goal is eventually get around 230-235.
Keep up the Great Job.

I'm 5'3", 5'4" on good days. I started at 170, now at 165. My goal is 140 or rather 22% body fat - so I'm not sure what weight I'll be.

salterdsalter2

I am 5'8" and currently weigh 145. I want to weigh 125 but will settle for 135...

Eve23

I am 5'3 and when I began in Aug I was at 280. Very scary, I never realized I was that bad because I didn't own a scale. Though I didn't like the way I looked I haven't liked the way I looked for a very long time. I have gotten down to 250 currently. But my weight hasn't budged for 3 weeks probably 4 now. I am trying very hard not to focus on that. But to allow my body the time to get used to the changes as a friend recommended to me. He has lost about 85 lbs and is still going strong. I felt that was a very good way to look at it and I strive to do the same. This time of year is extremely hard for me but I am working to get past that.

My ultimate goal would be to get down around 145 - 135 anywhere in there would be wonderful. But for my short term goals I would like to continue to go down in pant sizes. For me that is an accomplishment I always feel good about. I have so far come down one size. If I can loose my mommy pooch I might be down two but in time I hope to do so.

Good luck to everyone here. No matter what your personal goal is you are not alone. I often feel that way to but it is important to always remember.

Thanks
Eve

I'm 5'5" and started at 158. I've lost 8 pounds and I want to get down to 135. My next goal is 5-6 more pounds by Christmas. I have learned over the past few weeks that 10, 5, or even 2 pounds lost is a big deal! It's hard work! So kudos to all of you who have lost 2 pounds and more! It's not easy but it's worth it! Keep it up!

I dont know how many I want to loose...my mom doesnt think that i should loose any, but that mom for ya. I weigh about 125ish, and im 5' 6" which sounds ok, but i want to feel comfortable so about 5 more lbs would be nice. I used to weigh about 138 by the way, and i wanted to get to 125, which i've got to and before this horrible thanksgiving week i was about 123, but im never happy even though i've reached my goal.

I dont want to keep going until im inhealthy, but im afraid to stop. HELP

shellymarie

I am currently 5'6" and approximately 145-150 pounds (I fluctuate due to water weight). I would like to get down to 135 pounds and 19% BF. This will obviously require a strict diet, cardio and INTENSE weight training.

kjllose

Hi I am 5'4" and started at 210. I want to lose 65-70 lbs, and so far I have managed 30 lbs gone. This pic is because I wanted to show icandoit my startoff size. I'll be changing it in a day. It is a long process and I have many lessons still to learn about how to live healthy but I am willing to try and work as long as it takes.

whamoooo

I'm at 225, and I want to get down to 175. Keeping my diet at 30% from fat, around 1,300 calories per day, I should be there in six months.

Try to think of yourself as more than just appearance! Use another method of "weight" control - like waist size or body fat percentage. Think about Rose (you know who I'm talking about Dr. Who Fan), she has a healthy, attractive body and I bet she weighs more than 125...

sundaygirl85

I'm 5ft 8, currently 145lb, wanna get down to 126 (or 133 at the most) by March (when I'm going to Australia for a year!).
