    Hi ladies, my name is Joanna. I had gastric bypass oct 17, 2011 and although I have had great results, I have also learned how to get around some things. I started at 325, now I'm 208,6, reaching for the goal 140. Wearing XL but some of it is snug. Welcome to Here and I hope I can help support everyone. Welcome.:smile:

    Hey there! I'm Liz and I'm 21. I started at 275 lbs, size 24 jeans, 3XL shirts. I've lost 10 lbs since I last weighed myself. My size 24 jeans are a little loose, which is good. It was around Thanksgiving last year that I decided to buckle down and get serious about weight loss and being healthy. There's no reason for me, 5'4", 21 years old, to be a size 24 and miserable. I'm working on my way to lose 140lbs. 130lbs to go! :)

    Hello All, I am 34 yrs old and 204 lbs. Never thought I would be here. Started at 130 lbs 8 yrs ago and made my way up here.
    Scared . I can feel the strain on my body. I hope I find the courage to finally break free this time.
    Best of luck to all and may we all reach our goals.

    Hey everyone! I started my journey two years ago and I am 71 pounds, five pant sizes, a cup size, and two shirt sizes smaller! It as been a roller coaster but I am so excited to keep going and lose at least another forty pounds. I have to constantly remind myself that it isn't a race. I is a life style change. It is getting healthy and staying that way! I am so much happier, confident, and actually excited to be able to do the exercises I never have been able to do before! Thankfully I had renewed motivation this year and have lost 14 pounds since January 1st! So exciting to read other people's stories and encourage and motivate each other!!

    Hey, I'm Diana! I'm 39 and 5 feet 1.5 inches, I'm looking to lose between 80-90 pounds. My starting weight was 226.4 and I'm only down 16.8 lbs in the past 4+ months, but I had a week and a half where I hurt my back and couldn't exercise, so I was stuck for a few weeks at the same weight.

    Anyone please feel free to add me!! Good luck! :)

    Hi y'all!

    I'm Rebecca, 28 and live in the UK. I started my journey just shy of 300lbs (297lbs) and am now 237.4lbs (that extra 4 makes the difference!) - it's been a hard slog but so worth it! I have no specific goal in mind other than to carry on and not lose focus, but I reckon I should lose another 100lbs - I'll constantly review it though.

    I advocate a healthy approach to weight loss - I don't agree with starvation or restriction and definitely do not encourage the participation of such. I tend to eat clean but I do not judge people who eat junk - we're all different. I love the gym, weight train and mix up with cardio and always on hand to learn new tips/give tips out.

    I normally log on everyday (35+ and counting, I didn't lose that weight in that time btw, since January!) and will always be here for those in need - my life can be a bit chaotic but don't let that put you off ;)

    xxxx

    EDIT; I'm 5ft 5.6 inches and around a UK size 20....varies massively!

    Hi everyone.

    My name is Lexi and I weigh (at last weigh in) 261.5 pounds. I am only 8 pounds down so far, but it's a start!

    I wear, depending on the brand, between a size 22 and 26, I am generally smaller on my top half.

    My plan at the moment is calorie control, and possibly later on the 5:2 plan, but I need to be more organised for that one I think, and I'm kinda just trundling along at the moment!

    I am aiming to be under 10 stone, looking to be about 9.5 I suppose.

    Good luck everyone!

    Hi everyone

    I'm Eve, I've just (re)joined as well and have quite a way to go. Id like to loose 50 pounds and possibly more but 50 is a nice round number to start with. I'm 209 at the moment and 5 foot 9.

    That said im taking it day by day and pound by pound. First target is two stone for the summer holidays in August, its definitely achievable if I stick to the plan.

    Would be great to have friends who are in the same situation!
