Hey, I have been losing weight by myself and lost all motivation when a friend recommended I check this site out. I started out at 246 lb and am now down to 221lb. It's taken a little while to get this far but I have already lost 3 lb since joining on here a week ago! I am definitely still in the over 200 lb club though! Looking forward to getting to that 199 point. That's the 1st goal!! Good luck to you and I am sure you will be successful!! : )

So many wonderful people on here to motivate and and assist. I'm looking to lose about 125 lbs to start - and go from there!

Hi everyone. I started out at 305, 300 was pretty much my breaking point. Now I'm down to 283 as of today and I'm ready to get back on track! Looking around the message boards I noticed most members I came across are under 200. It might be just a coincidence but are there any girls like me out there?

Anyway, I've been home sick the past four days and just couldn't take it anymore. So I got up off my bum, put on sneakers, and jogged for the first time in my life. Soooo I lasted 5 whole minutes with much effort and walked another 15. It was just about agonizing but I did it!

I'm in school full time and i work on a brain injury unit at a hospital nearby. I have a gym membership to Planet Fitness and I'm going to start going 3-5 times a week like I did during the summer. I'm starting Weight Watchers either this week or next.

Anybody starting out on the same page? I could use a weight loss buddy

I started at 249.
I am at 219.
My goal weight is about 160.

Heys Girls,

I joined yesterdaty starting at 218 lbs ... i don't even know how I got from 175 - 180 lbs to this now .. honestly don't remember looking at the scales with those numbers of course i felt my clothes tightening and had to go up to the next size but when the next size started to get tight I knew I had to do something ...
I gave up smoking 24th January 2011 (so nearly a year no smoking) yay me!! So this has had a impact on my weight gain.

So this year I really want to tackle my weight I want to feel comfortable with my skin and people around me

Any one can add me wether you relate or want to help motivate each other or if you just need someone to chat to ...

I quit last March. I did gain a little weight but it was more important to quit smoking. I quit cold turkey. I now have COPD from smoking for so many years. My advice is to keep your hands and mind busy. Do you like to do crafts? Chewing gum helps. Reading to take your mind off of the cravings. There is a forum in about.com for those quitting smoking. I felt it helpful to chat with those that were in the same boat as me.

JulieJordanScott · January 2012

I am now using my four prepregnancy goals as mini-goals.

Right now I am six pounds from my prepregnancy weight with my son. I can't wait to be that weight and then keep going down down down. With my first daughter I was actually under 200!

I can't remember being so motivated about my fitness!

I weighed 262 when I first started posting on this site about 2 weeks ago. The last time I weighed in I was at 254. I too have a long journey to go. I want to lose around 95 lbs. My goal weight would be around 160, which is healthy for my height. I have a hard time getting motivated and staying that way. So I could definitely use all the support I can possible get. It is awesome to find other women that are in the same boat as me. Feel free to add me!
