Well after a bad year personally I am back to it. New Year. New Job and I am back with the man I was with for 2 years.

I am currently: 163lbs BMI: 27.5

BMI of 25 would be 146lbs

My ultimate goal is 133 ish.

Anybody similar? I am a 23 yr old mum of one. Also a nurse. Would like new buddies. Starting weightloss journey tommorrow.

Have a charity bike ride in April, Christening in May and I am a bridesmaid in June.

I also want to look good for my OH. :)

    Hey :), I'm 5'4 and currently at 171lbs. I weigh in on Wednesdays so we'll see how much progress I've made this week :). My ultimate goal is anywhere between 125lbs and 135lbs, depending on how I look and feel when I get there. Feel free to add me!

    I am 5'4 and working my way to 130 - 150 not sure my final goal weight. After a few weak weeks I am topping out at 215 these days. I lost my first pound in a long time when I got on the scale last Thursday. I have been on this journey since Aug 2011 and have been on the longest plateau. I feel like I want to give up, but I would be letting myself down. I would love some new buddies so please add me.

    I am 5'4" and currently 166. I am recovering from a terrible disease called Cushing's Syndrome. I gained over 70 lbs with that disease and had a stillborn son. I have lots of extra skin that I have to have removed once I shed a little more weight. I have already lost 40 lbs. I went from 151 lbs-216 in 7 months. It was terrible. I am healed from the disease now and trying to get the rest of the weight off. My first goal is 151 lbs, where I was before I got sick. My ultimate goal is 140. I will be happy right there, which is where I was before I had my first son.

    Me! I'm 5'4'' and currently 157 (sigh, gained a bunch back). I was down to 136-138. My ultimate goal is about 130-132 but I'd just be really happy to get back to where I was last summer.

    Please don't loose site of your goal. It took me 2 years to loose 112 pounds. At times, I too, wanted to give up but I kept focused. I changed my daily routines and started to "Eat Clean". I changed my exercise from walking to swimming and cardio classes. I know you can reach your goal, whatever it might be. Ask yourself-Do I want to be sore today or sorry tomorrow because I didn't exercise.

    I'm 5 foot 4 and 170 pounds. I only started this a couple of days ago and have never dieted before. Please feel free to add me. I am aiming to get down to 150 pounds as a first goal. Ultimately I'd like to be 140 I think but I'll see how I feel at 150.
