Hi :-)
Newbie here *waves hello* I'm currently 280lb and looking to get down to 180lb as a starting point. From there I can work out how much more I need to be losing. Ideally, I would like to get to 140lb which would be miles better for my height. I have 2 young sprogs that I currently cannot run around with as much as I want, and I'm terrified that I won't be around to see them grow up and that they will be bullied for having a fat Mum. I am following a weight loss plan already but I am struggling with overeating so thought I'd give this a go.
Here's to a slimmer us!

Hi! I am in the same boat 250 and want to get down to 175. We have a long road ahead of us but I know this time i am going to do it. Good luck in your journey and once those kids start running more you won't have to worry about exercise:)0
