    Hi! I'm pretty much in a boat identical to yours.

    I'm JoAnna, I'm 24, and to date I'm about 223 lbs. at a height of 5'1". I have a current goal weight right now of 150, and we'll see how I look/feel from there...to be at a healthy BMI the most I could be is around 130 or so but I feel with my curves/hourglass shape that may be a bit low for me. So if I want my goal weight, I have about 73 pounds to go - if I want to be at a healthy BMI, it's about 93.

    Hopefully we can be friends on here, I'll send you a request and we'll see if we can motivate each other to lose this weight. I've just started honestly working out this week after changing my diet for the past ten months, and I've already dropped 7 pounds (I started around 230). 7 down, 73-93 to go :)

    What do you recommend though - healthy BMI or a little more weight but possibly not looking like a weird curvy stick? =P

  • Hi Kristina
    My name is Anne & I have been doing this as long as Wheelie_UK has had his account here. I started with him to give him support & not need to cook to many different meals. I didn't have an account at first & didn't know how much I weighed, I only got an account because I was told I was losing weight & didn't believe them. Wheelie_UK said the only way to prove that I was losing weight was to check what I weighed & keep a record. As I was doing this with him to give him support, I may as well set up an account of my own & then I would be able to see if I was eating the right amount for me. when I weighed myself I was 280 pounds, which did surprise me as I thought & felt I was a lot heavier. There is no real way to tell how much I have really lost, but now I am weighing myself & keeping a record here I will at least know from now on. My goal is to lose over half my body weight & get down to 126 pounds if I can.

    I am disabled & need to use a wheelchair when I go out & about. I have Arthritis in every joint, I get Migraine headache every so often, I have Osteoporosis in my Spine & my Spine has at least 3 crushed Vertebra at my last Xray. I am always in pain & some days are worse than others, But at least I am alive. I believe that every day I live is a blessing, as years ago I had a Motorbike accident in which they didn't think I would live because I had head & spinal injuries.

    Things have never been easy for me, but after the accident at least I could say I have my life. Since the accident I have been Married twice & Divorced twice, had my Daughter who is now 22 years old & met Wheelie_UK on 8 August 1996. I am still in a relationship Wheelie_UK & this I have never regretted it, I love him very much.
