Hi, found this site yesterday. I am rubbish at writing about myself, but I'll give it a go. :) I have been dieting since new year, lost 16lb so far, and now weigh in at 238lb. I am trying to get my weight down for my little boy's first communion in May; I hate looking back at pictures of myself at my other children's first communions, I am the fattest person there. ;-( Then my sister is getting married in August, so even more pictures. I am really determined this time. I am aware that my body isn't keeping up with my family anymore so that's another incentive. I was hoping to lose 30lbs by the beginning of May, and I am already halfway there! Then hopefully another 15 before the wedding. Overall I think I'd like to be 140lbs, which is my ideal weight, so I have a really long way to go!!

    Thanks, although it doesn't feel like I have lost loads because there is so much there!

    Good luck with your goal too.
