Hey all -

23 and I'm not a stranger to the weight loss train. I've failed it before but now I've got a wedding to plan for!
I'm looking to lose over 100lbs and am hoping to find some friends who are working toward a similar weight
loss goal! Good luck!

    Add me too if you'd like! I am working on a high goal too! Well, right now mini-goals, seems less daunting if I tackle what I want to lose in 25lb increments :)

    Sent you a friend request! I started with 102 pounds to lose and I'm down to 90 pounds left to lose. I know how difficult it can be but it will totally be worth it in the end!

    Good luck with your loss. I have a total of 184 lbs to lose. I'm almost at 80 down, so I know the drill. I wish I'd started at your age. I'd be much better off.

    I'd suggest you do two things: 1) Be consistent. Log EVERYTHING. 2) Be patient. You didn't put the weight on overnight. It ain't coming off overnight either.

    Hello Ladies and Gents,


    I just read all the post. So count me in. Somehow, I am relieved to hear that all of you are with me on this journey. Currently, I have to loose 126- 138lbs to loose. I haven't decided how far I am going with this. Because I know that a lot of you have lost all this amount. But for me it seems so much, so long. But for the first time, I can see myself really doing it.

    Like I said, this is my last attempt. If this doesn't work, then I seriously need to consider surgery. Right now, this is not something that I really want to do for so many reasons.

    Right now, I am recovering from a kidney infection. Also, this week is going to be a bit slow. Next week probably, too. But it gave me time to figure things out.

    So I am grateful for all support.
