    I don't know why, but I'm actually nervous to post in here.
    I guess it's because I don't get a whole lot of support from people--most of the time it ends up as ridiculous nit-picking and it drives me bonkers. :(

    But anyway...I'm 23, 5'6", and I weigh 259 right now. A few months after I got out of college I weighed 275, and seeing the numbers that high freaked me out, especially because 2 years prior I had been losing weight and was at 220. 55 lbs in 2 years? Ugh, I had to change something. So for me, it's not just about working really hard at once and losing tons of weight right away, but also making gradual lifestyle changes that will actually keep me from putting the weight back on.

    My goal is to try to get back to 180, so almost 100lbs. :)

    There is no need to be nervous! We are all in the same boat and we are here to support and encourage each other not pull each other down!! You can do this it will take time, but you can totally do it!!!!!

    Feel free to add me, I'm 23, 5'2, 253 lbs. I've got about 100 lbs to get to a comfortable weight, but to have a healthy bmi I would need to get down to 130 lbs. I lost 30 lbs from July - September. I got started on metformin for insulin resistance from PCOS & was very sick from it for 2 months & lost my motivation. I'm having a really hard time getting started back up. I've had a lot of days where I just want to binge eat (usually end up doing so) & I know it's emotional eating at it's worst.

    I really need some support (no one can motivate me but myself!), I don't want to spend the rest of my life on metformin, it's no way to live!

    I'm going to add you!

    I would like some motivation too. My husband and I got married in 2011, 2 days after I got home from my honeymoon I unexpectedly lost my job at a financial institution. I was very proud of my career and when I lost my job, I lost my identity. I gained about 60 pounds in the year I was off work. I let my depression get the best of me and control my life. I had no motivation to do anything, not even get a job. I am now employeed again with the state of Pennsylvaina and I just want to get my life back on track. My husband and I have been trying for over a year to get pregnant and I'm a believer that my weight gain is the reason I can't get pregnant (since all my fertility tests have come back good). I want to be a healthier wife and mother for my future children.

    Hi ladies :)

    I joined the website tonight. Will be officially starting "eating better" as soon as I get my grocery shopping done (that's tomorrow or Friday).

    I have a little over a hundred pounds to shed and for once in my life, I am SOOOOO ready to do this. I don't know why, this time it just "makes sense" that I lose the weight that I've been "hauling" since I was 6 years old. I am now 37 and can't wait to fit in my mom's clothes! LOLL (Her wardrobe is "TO DIE FOR"!!! She's 56 but wears dresses and stuff I would buy anytime for myself, WOW) :P

    I will be putting a picture of myself in the next few days. Tomorrow I'll be taking measurements in inches, weigh in and everything and I'll get my husband to take a few pics of me... front, back, side, etc. Cause I absolutely want a "before and after" kind of album, to stay focused, ya know?

    Good luck to all of you (and to me LOL)

    If any of you want to add me to their facebook, just ask.

    What do you all think of starting a new group? I know there are several for people with over 100 pounds to lose, but many of them have been around awhile. It looks like a lot of us are just starting out. (Although I'm not talking about excluding the ones who have been losing already!) I know it's hard to join in with a group that's already established. And some of the groups have several hundred members. That is a bit overwhelming to me!

    Let me know what you think. If you like the idea, I'll start it. Suggest names?

    Yes please! How about disrobing the beauty? Sorry...I'm not too swift with names.

    EVERYBODY ADD ME!! :-) I love supporting others and being support by people that have the same goals as me. I just started my journey to being a healthier me on Jan. 5th and I've lost 7lbs so far. I started at 270lbs and would like to get down to 150 one day. I read a lot of comments on here and I also have PCOS, took me over two years to get pregnant with my daughter Addie and would one day like to have another baby. I'm almost 26 so will have to get on that soon but would like to be a healthy mother for my kids. Children learn their eating habits from their parents. My family ate pasta and pizza multiple times a week and my mom managed a Mcdonalds for 10 years of my childhood so needless to say, I didn't have the best eating habits when I was younger. Eating healthier now though is amazing. I actually feel like I'm a work out and calorie counting ADDICT! So if you need a cheerleader, feel free to add me on here and I'll be there for you to cheer you on with every ounce you loose! Keep up the optimism and good spirits ladies, it's a hard change to make but it's totally worth it to be healthy and live a better life!
