    This will be my first post on the message boards, but I am in the close to 100lb area. My goal is to get to 199lbs. I haven't been in the one-hundred range in quite some time, and that is very close to my final goal weight, so it'll be nice to have an interim goal to aim for. So, right now I have 84lbs to lose.

    I just had my first child a short 10 months ago, and gained a fair bit of weight during the pregnancy, lost almost all of my pregnancy weight afterwards with breastfeeding, but recently there has been some issues and emotional eating, not to mention Christmas! So, here I am, aiming for a new, healthier me for my daughter, myself and my fiance. I am a SAHM, with a small home-based business so it's easy to just grab a bag of chips or something cruddy when you are trying to get things done.

    Anyway, it's nice to see such an active message board, and I hope that I'm able to find some folks so we can motivate each other! :)

    Hello All I have lost 48 pounds so far but have 100 more to loose. I have been overweight all my life and would love to help others as well as they help me. My name is Larry I live with my partner of almost 10 years and our spoiled 4 legged son named Stymie.

    I am doing a 5 k on January 21st my first one and alot of it will be walking as our son is coming with since he can and it does him good too and it for a special cause its help a rescue shelter find homes for dogs and helps support them and I am a big believer in adopting a dog and giving them a home. That is where Stymie came from and I could not ask for a better dog.


    If you want to know more check out my profile and feel free to send me a friend request. Almost time for work oh yeah I am a relay operator by night and a man with a mission by day.

    WOW! I am not alone. I know what to do i know how to do it but the hardest part is getting motivated and staying motivated. Okay people...The BEST advice i can give you is to put yourself first...Track what you eat...when you eat...why you ate...how you felt after you ate...and schedule in some "ME TIME". Whether it's a bubble bath, a foot soak... a quick nap...something that will refresh you...DO IT FOR YOU!. WATER ...at least 8 glasses a day is a must. Once you feel thirsty you are already dehydrated. Lastly, make it a LIFESTYLE CHANGE...not just a diet to lose a few pounds. CHANGE your eating habits...the best way to start is to cut you portions down...try it for a week and you will be surprised ..you can do it!...DO NOT DEPRIVE yourself....be accountable for whatever you put in your mouth. GOOD LUCK on becoming the NEW YOU!

    I have about 50-65 pounds to lose. I've gained and lost several times and now I'm surrendering to the fact that it is a lifestyle. I can't "go off the wagon". I've just turned 45 and have two sons 14 & 12. My 14 year old really wants me to play soccer as he knows it's something I love but right now I'm just carrying too much weight to run around.

    You know what really ticks me off? Is that all through my teen years and my early 20's I thought I was fat. No just 5'10" and not a size 0 (not that that size even existed back then - in the olden days). I recently found a skirt that I wore in my late teens and it's ittee bittee. Argh. So much time wasted.

    I've been exercising for a couple of years but the weight hasn't shifted. My cardio health has definitely improved but now I'm paying closer attention to my diet. Presumably I'm not defective and I have just been eating too many calories.

    I'm happy for any of you to add me as I could sure use a kick in the butt some days (but be nice about the butt whooping okay?).

    Hello all! My name is Connie and I am 47. I live in south central Tennessee. I have 100 pounds to lose and have been battling weight all my life. It seems that I start off highly motivated and do well for a short time, then fall off the planet and gain it all back. I have a hard time staying motivated, but I NEED to do this! I have high blood pressure now and am borderline diabetic. Please add me and I will help you too.
