    Only a couple more pounds...it'll happen when it happens! I started around 150 and am down to 138 now.

    I am not giving myself a timeline because for me, I feel it would set me up for failure or feeling like a failure.

    To date I've lost 47 pounds. I was 230 (now 183). I would like to be about 150. :)

    Taking it small steps at a time. Initial weight loss goal is 20 lbs. Down 4 already, but no specific date set... although preferably in the next couple of months. After that I have another 30 - 35 lbs I want to lose.

    I'm almost at 70pounds, been about 14months, I'm just going with the flow. It'll come off sooner or later.

    About another 10 pounds, but I'm really interested in getting my stomach flat and losing these love handles, so it might wind up being 15.

    I have lost 33 lbs and would like to lose another 95 lbs. My dream goal date is May 2013 when my son graduates from college. (It's sad to think I've been battling this weight issue since he was in KINDERGARTEN!)

    I think I can do it this time I joined MFP a year or so ago but didn't stick with it. This year, I'm logging my food and although I seem to be battling the same 3-5 lbs, this week I made a breakthrough and I feel I'm ready to start losing again.

    That's the million dollar question for me. I have lost 176 and am at 200. The "charts" still consider me obese & say I should weigh 145 (at 5'8 I think I would look anoerexic). My "fat" doctor has my goal at 180. My GP and my plastic surgeon have both advised me independent of one another that I need to stop losing weight. My plastic surgeon told me I have 40 plus pounds of skin that needs to be removed. You can't diet or exercise that away. The only way to get rid of it is surgery. So I'm 200. Am I done? :drinker:

    At 5 ft 8 I'd like to drop down to 164.4

    Great start but I know this will slow down...so no timeline for me. Let's see where I am at in 6 weeks. :-)

    First off, congrats!!! I would talk to your doctor and get an opinion from that person too. I would say if there is 40lbs of skin and you want to be around 180 and are at 200 now, then I would think I would want to get the surgery. Surgery is scary though. If and when you do have surgery, just make sure you take car of your body and let it heal COMPLETELY before any exercising, just focus on eating right b/c I hear about too many ppl getting infections and it's just sad b/c it sets ppl back a whole lot and leaves bigger scars and makes you tired and sick. But make sure you talk to your main doctor, but also other surgeons and doctors. don't just get one or two opinions :) good luck!!!
