    I'd like to join as well, i'm 5'10, and currently weigh 183lbs. I'm trying to lose my baby weight STILL (i have 15 month old twins). Before my pregnancy I was 155 but i'd like to get down to 140.

    I have been avoiding the scale since my surgery, but yesterday my pants were feeling really loose so I stepped on the scale this am. A pound less than I was the day before surgery. That was 2 1/2 weeks ago. Pretty discouraging number wise but I can't let this set back throw me off track. Going to a movie tonight, I'm going to try to sneak something healthy in!

    I think any weight loss after a surgery is fantastic! And you still weigh less than before, so congrats! My BF and I ALWAYS sneak our own healthy snacks into the movie theater! Otherwise we're way too tempted to get - not just a small- but a giant tub of popcorn! We like taking things like dried fruit bits that we can snack on, and maybe some dark chocolate! yum! have fun!

    Maralice and AngelaRae - Welcome! Always great to meet fellow amazons!

    Maybe you have all discussed this before, but what are everyone's calorie goals set at?
    I have mine set at 1600 and I eat most of my exercise cals. I'm 5'11" and weigh 167. trying to get down to 150, and maybe eventually 140.

    This thread appears to be dying down, but I thought I'd update! I'm finally into the 170s, at 177. So I've lost 17lbs since I started Jan. 4th. I'm excited to be over halfway to my goal. I am 12lbs away, but once I get there I may have to set another goal since I'm not sure I'll be completely satisfied at 165. I hope everyone is doing well!

    Great job Shannon! 17 pounds in 3 months is impressive! I think it's a good idea to set goals the way you are, and re-evaluate once you reach them.

    I'd love for this thread to get re-vamped, I thought is was nice to have a place where everyone was sort of in the same boat!

    Glad to have found you ladies!
    I'm 5' 10", 175 now, and have 7 more pounds to my wedding weight.
    I actuallly gained 23 pounds last year during breast cancer treatment, which came off as of a few weeks ago. Now, I'm at the last 7 pounds of baby weight.
    I've gotten a ton out of MFP, but this thread, which I just found, would make my experience here even richer!
    So please, whatever it takes to re-ignite this thread. I'm so late to the party and am bummed I've missed so much support from my fellow Amazons....

    I just found this, but it looks like it's been dead for awhile. Is there a newer one somewhere for us giants? :flowerforyou:

    Nope, I think we all just stopped posting. :tongue: But you bumped it to the top of my topics so maybe it'll bring the others back too!

    I am joining up before the thread goes to heaven!

    I am 5'9" and currently 180 lbs. My HW was 195 lbs. I appear to be stuck at 180 lbs for the time being but I just started the shred and am hoping it kicks me into high gear.

    I have my goal weight set to 150 lbs right now. I would LOVE to be smaller. But I would prefer an athletic build to a skinny one... soooooo... yeah.

    EDIT: Woah... it WAS In heaven... SORRY!!
