    I'm new to the site and am so encouraged by all of you on here!! I have always been dieting alone and failed. Most of my friends are really small and eat like machines. I started college in fairly good shape, about 175, then after 2 years of a crazy lifestyle and schedule I'm at my heaviest 235. It's really hard to stay on track! My fiance is only 175 and has to lose weight for the military. We are going to work together, but its so hard when he's in better shape and so much smaller than me!!! I hope checking in here everyday and holding myself accountable will help me slim down and be healthy!!

    How is everyone doing?

    I had an awesome day. I did very well at my first rugby practice in 8 years. I didnt feel like I was in the worst shape, but I was sure rusty. I then came home and tried 30 day shred level 1. I didnt like it at all. I just found the huge selection of workout videos on my fios on demand. So I am gonna try em all out!

    Doing well here. I have 30 day shred too & started to loathe Jillian's voice while I was doing it regularly. It made me feel much better to yell back at her :) It did work though, then I slid off the daily program. About to hit the gym tonight and figure out what machine to play with while I'm there... leaning toward the bike because the eliptical still openly mocks me :)

    Good morning, I am new to this site and am over 200 lbs also. I started on Monday at 220 and am down to 216 so far, sure most of it is water weight, but would love to join and help support others and be supported. I would love to end up around 155, I know it will not be easy but I know it will be worth it. My husband is in full support and has even decided to lose a few pounds himself, even though he does not need to. Also have my 2 childern on board the lets eat healthier train so lets hope this works this time. Weigh in on Fridays is good with me. Thank you for the support.

    Welcome aboard!

    Its always so much easier when your whole family is on board. And if you are the main cook in your family, you husband will lose just by nature of what you serve. My bf (who isnt worried about his weight) lost his 10 pounds of happy-relationship weight in the 3 months I have been losing weight.

    <3 to all!

    Hello Everyone!

    I'd really like to join this group, you all seem fabulous!! My highest weight has been 285 and I have since lost 10lbs! I have been overweight my whole life and am tired of feeling like I don't fit in with my group of friends too. It's always been so depressing to have to shop with my girlfriends and not be able to try anything on cause I'm not in a plus size store. I'm hoping to get down to under 200 by spring next year, and I know that with a lot of work and some support that I can do it! I'll do weigh-ins on Friday too, maybe with all of the encouragement we can all reach our goals and stay healthy :o)

    Hello! welcome to the group, i hate shopping with some of my friends that are skinny cause they can go try just about anything in the store on where I just look and say "oh yeah I'm not really into anything here" type of thing
