I want to lose as much as is necessary to get into a healhier range. Ideal is 68 lbs but 40/50 lbs would be fine too, it's so far away and has been so long ago since I was there, it is still an unknown concept. I want to lose the bits that drag me down and hold me hostage, peel off this suit of armor.

I started at 265, and lost down to 207 about six years ago. then I gained back to 235-240 and stayed there until I was in the hospital for a month in April. I lost 20 lbs then and when people saw me again, their reactions were so nice to hear, I'm motivated to keep going. I thought I could just do it by "feel" but the pounds started inching up again So, I'm doing this and I bought a new fancy digital scale and a bike and a gym membership so here I go!
Hope you all have a great day! Let's eat a lot of fruit today and get outside in the fall weather for at least half an hour.0 -
I started my weightloss jorney at the end of june this year so i stepped on the scale and weighed 272lbs (19stones and 6lbs). A couple of days later my generous husband bought me a digital scale i'd been asking for so i could measure my weight more accurately. Can you believe I weighed 282lbs (20st and 2lbs) on the new scale. I was so ashamed!
Anyway no crying over spilt milk so i continued on my journey regardless of the new weight the scale had shown me.
2.5 months on I have lost just over 28lbs (2 stones) and still so motivated to carry on.
I currently weigh 253 lbs (18st 1 lbs)
I still have approx 103lbs (7st 5lbs) to lose in order to be at a reasonable weight.
I havent put a time limit it on it because for the first time in my life i am portion controlling, trying to change my eating habbits and lifestyle opposed to dieting (the quick fix i usually seek)
Good luck to everyone. I hope to see a dramatic change in myself in the next 6 months!0 -
Hi my name is Kylie I joined approx 30 odd days ago I have 37.5kgs (although weigh in is tomorrow morning so probably less now) This is approx 83 pounds. My BMI says I am obese & I need to be between 46-61 kgs to be considered healthy so having a goal at 60kgs I think is reasonable. Pre-pregnancy 10 years ago I use to go up & down between 57-62 & I use to think I was fat then boy was I wrong lol
But luckily enough I have finally found a gym that works for me & this fantastic app to guide me with nutrition. I go to gym upto 12 times a week so as long as I am eating healthy I am hopeful this will take me a year to lose this weight as I am fighting for my life protecting my asthma & give the kids full quality of care with the new me, the new energy & the new lease on life
Good luck to everyone I wish you all the very best & crave this challenge to find the hidden us that is dying to shine xoxox0 -

Hi: I am Sue. I lost about 75 pounds eight years ago because I wanted to be an active grandma and not just one who could only sit around and read stories etc. I am now 64 and the weight has creeped back up, not to where I started in 2004 but very close. My dietitian gave me this web site and I have been using it and the Optitrim program for a little over six weeks now. Good luck to all. You all seem really motivated. Hope reading your stories will keep me that way too! Thanks.
