    Just joined and looking forward (?) to finally getting rid of 60 or 70 pounds.

    I've lost some before but have always gained it back, so I know I need prodding and motivation to keep at it.

    Hi, my name is Alicia. I'm 32 years old and married. My husband asked me for a divorce about a month ago. His reasons had absolutely nothing to do with my weight (I actually weighed more when we first met and got married than I do now), and we have since begun counseling in an effort to make our marriage work. However, when he asked me for a divorce, it really got me to thinking about what on earth I was going to do. I took a good hard look at myself, and I realized that I wasn't living up to my potential. I have always battled my weight, and I have always wanted to be fit and healthy, but never stuck with any regimine long enough to see lasting results. I originally came to the decision to start this journey because I though I was going to have to start over with the whole dating scene, etc. I now want to continue this journey because my husband and I are trying to make our marriage work, and while my weight has never been an issue for him, I want to do everything in my power to be the best wife that I can be. That includes being healthier. At this time, I am looking to lose around 100 pounds. It's a lofty goal, and if I reach it, it will be the thinnest I have been in my adult life, even thinner than when I graduated high school. I am not one of these women who looks in the mirror and says "Oh, God, I'm so fat" when I wear a size 6. I have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic and on the verge of becomin morbidly obese. The only thing preventing me from being morbidly obese already is the fact that I am 6'1". I guess what I am looking for is someone to go through this journey with me. Someone I can depend on for encouragement and support, and I will offer the same to them in return. I just created my account here a few minutes ago, so I have no idea how any of this community bit works, so if someone could please explain it to me, I'd be grateful. Thanks, and good luck to all!

    Feel free to add me (anyone feel free to ad me). I would love to have some friends on here. This seems like such a motivational place.

    I like to be positive. I am not looking to lose any amount of weight. I have decided on a new way of life and the result will be that I will be back to a healthy weight. As a result of this lifestyle change, I will end up below 200lbs. I am on that road now. Ony 63 more pounds to go! It isn't if, it's when!

    Trying to lose about 80 pounds. I have not made many changes to what I am eating, but definitely exercises more! Ran a marathon in September and plan to do more. So far, I lost about 40'ish pounds prior to myfitnesspal.com. Good luck to all of you!
