    I'm another newbie to the group. I'm 6'-4" and my highest measured weight was 555 pound. I recently broke through into the 400's at 498 pounds. My goal is 220 pounds which is what I weighted at 11 or 12 years old.

    I'm new to the group too. I started at 390, and I set my goal weight for 180. I have been 179 as a 19 year old (very briefly, before I ballooned up) and I'd like to get back there again.

    HI all, just joined the group as looking for inspiration!


    I'm 6"1' currently sitting at 118kg and my first target is to get to 98kg and we'll see how we go from there. Would love to hear how you guys did it for motivation (workout routines, diet etc) and do it myself!

    I'm in an interesting boat - I'm currently 344, but at around 23% bodyfat (or less - it's been about 2 months and 20 lbs since I last checked). That means that I've got about 8-10% of my weight to lose to reach prime percentage. That's only about 30 lbs, so I'm setting my goal at 300-310 (to account for muscle loss as well).

    I'm planning to re-evaluate my body fat this weekend and recheck my goals.

    My initial target is 230. Depending on the chart you believe, that is still "overweight" for 6'7".

    I grew up thin, graduating high school at 185 lbs, which was probably too thin but I was a long distance runner back then, and had the metabolism to match.

    So I figure 230 is a reasonable first goal. I haven't weighed that little in 20 years, so if I can get there, it's an accomplishment all on it's own. At that point, I can start evaluating my long term goals.

    At this point I would be happy with anything under 300. Then I can focus on getting down to 250 and then 200. Have not been in the 200's since high school over 20 years ago.

    Hi everyone

    Im new to this and never been on a site like this before. I have never even tried to loss weight before. I am 6' 5" tall and weigh about 487 lb. My goal is to be at about 280 lb.. I know that seems crazy to stop at 280 but i need to try to get to a weight that seems possible and then i could make a new goal, possibly.

    My target is 170-175. I'm only 5'8, but I have a long long way to go. I've been eating right for over a year and I'm down 145lbs. I just found myfitness pal about 2 weeks ago. So far it's pretty cool.

    Time to add my target on here. According to BMI I should be at 195 or so, so that is what I have set. My short term is to get into the 300's, then the 200's and then we'll see. I've been on here almost 2 years/ Started at 439, dropped to 402 and then recently, after falling off the wagon and down the street into the buffet, topped out at 464.

    Back in the game, now at 320, looking for 250 (was 280 this time last year, but screwed-up).

    Currently aiming at the 299, should not be a problem, but I always say that. I have some nice clothes and a great bike that I used to enjoy, I have a fantastic wife and some great kids that I want to enjoy. I have to get my head in the right place.

    I have been on MFP for a little more than 2 months. My goal is set at 200, but I would love to see 194. That would be a healthy BMI for me. Currently, I'm trying to eat under 2000 calories a day and according to information I found, I should be able to get there one day.

    My highest weight was 444 in 2001 but I had a RNY bypass and lost down to 220 (too much muscle loss though) I started weight training and built up to a fairly muscular 230 which is where I looked my best in recent memory. However,, stupid got ahold of me again and I gained back up to about 341 by September of this year. That's when I joined MFP. My short term goal is to get under 300. My medium range (6 month) goal is to be under 250. My ultimate goal is to hit around 225. But we'll see how I look and feel at that point.

    I set my goal at 250lbs with the understanding that I'll see how that suits me. For a 6'2" frame, I think that's still considered obese, though. I would love to see 200.
