    HI I am in a similar boat. When I started I need to lose between 60-70 pounds. I have lost 19 since April. It is slow but it is working. Feel free to add me if you want, I usually log and my diary is open to friends.

    Hi!
    I'm 5 feet 5 inches and have a goal to be at 170, so I have about 70 more pounds to lose. I'll send you a request!
    And please, anyone else is free to add me if they are looking for support :)

    Just this morning I made a promise to myself and set a goal to lose 60 pounds in a year. We are awaiting the arrival of our first grandson. The day he is born is when I will start. I know I could start now but I want my goal date to be his first birthday. I have lost weight in the past and put it back on plus some. I am ready to get lose this and keep it off. I would be happy to lose more but I will be happy with 60. I had fallen off the wagon again and have not been logging my food in the diary like I should but I keep mine open. Good luck everyone. I will send requests. I am sure I will need some motivation from time to time when I feel I am going to slip.

    Hi there! I am new. Just joined today. I would like to lose 50-70 lbs. I know I'm unhealthy and truly don't have a set goal weight. I just thought I should start working on making changes and see what happens as I begin to lose before I determine what exactly I need to weigh. I just want to feel better. I would love to look forward to shopping again. Feel free to add me. I am not sure how much help I'll be at first but one way or another I'm going to figure this out
    I'm 5'6" and my current weight is 225 lbs.

    I'm all for encouraging others and accepting encouragement back. I've lost 16 pounds and still need to lose about 40 more. Anyone can feel free to add me as a friend. :smile:

    We are all in the same boat. I've yo-yod many times in my life. I had lost close to 30 lbs before getting pregnant and was lucky enough not to go over my highest weight with the pregnancy. That was 19 months ago. I had lost 48 lbs and then had to change a medication and instantly gained 12 back. Today I strapped back on my body buggy and logging food. I would love to be a support to anyone and of course could use some too. :smile: Anyone that would like feel free to add me

    I'm at 180 now, looking to get down to 140, then possibly down to 120 since I'm only 5'3". I'll add you!
