    Hey! I'd like to join in on this, 52lb sounds like exactly what I need to lose to get to my goal, and It would be great to be able to do it in a year!

    I like this idea! My ultimate goal is to reach my goal weight in 2013 (though that's actually 68 lbs away), but I'm pretty sure I'd be happy with 52 as well! Let's do it!

    Hi everyone. I'd love to do this with you, I've got about 70 lbs to lose but need a starting place. I like the ideal of starting a new year with others who have the same goals as myself. I'm 55 yrs old, 5'2" and currently weigh around 195 my goal is 120. I work full time at a job where I mostly sit at a computer most of the day so I need to work on sitting up an exercise routine. Am currently reading a book on weight lifting so I can get toned as I lose. A little nervous about it all but I know I can do it! Am looking forward to losing weight with you all in 2013!

    Hi All!
    Lots of changes for me over 2012. 2013 will be my year. I'm excited to join! Just started a new gym today, so I hope to stay motivated to make it a daily healthy habit and achieve 50lbs or more this year!

    Hello everyone, my name is Suzanne :drinker:

    2012 has been a tough year struggling with my binge eating addiction, gaining most of weight back from it. I feel I am ready for the new year and getting better, so we got this! :bigsmile: 52lbs would bring me back closer to my goal weight again.

    This is a very difficult thing to struggle with. I've struggled with this myself on and off, it's gotten a lot better this past year though. I'm currently on an upswing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has really helped me with this. I also just recently got a book called "end emotional Eating" by Jennifer L. taitz, PsyD. Her book uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I've only just put a small dent in it but it has already helped me!

    You are not alone, more people struggle with this on some level than you think! Lots of love, feel free to add me!

    I'm in! I actually reset my counter on Sunday. It made sense for me to start a little early as my circumstances have changed. I finish building my little home gym tomorrow, I'm home everyday until I find another job as I just got laid off, and I'll be eating a bit differently to keep the grocery budget to a minimum.

    I'm ready for the challenge! I've gained so much weight in the past 3 years because of my severe chronic pain (70 pounds), so I'm on board!

    Hello!
    I've been improving gradually with my fitness lately, but haven't done well with improving my diet. A pound a week sounds doable, though! While 52lbs might not get me to my ideal weight, it will get me in a much healthier position.

    My goal is much more than 52 lbs but if I can lose at least that in a year I will be very happy! Let the weight loss begin!

    Count me in. I had lost a total of 80 pounds last May and then let a devastating breakup cause me to slack off and gain 40 back. Losing 52 pounds won't put me at my ultimate goal, but I will be a heck of a lot closer and lot healthier!
    I'm always looking for some motivation and a challenge group like this might be just the trick!

    I too suffer with chronic pain issues. I need to get a ton of weight off to try and avoid spinal surgery...
    Where is your pain?
