Hi! I am looking for others who have approximately the same amount of weight to lose as I do to add as friends. Then we could make similar short term goals and have some one to report to with out having to start a new thread every time. I would love to have some one to achieve my goals with. It is so much more fun to share good/ bad news with others who are right along with you. More the merrier! I'm trying to lose 60 lbs by June 30. Anyone want to join me?

    :smile: I need to lose at least 50 by June 28th- my son is getting married and as silly as it sounds, I want to wear a nice dress. Also turned 50-it feels like now or never in a way. June 30th is my birthday! So I'm a "little"older than you but it's probably all the same struggle,right?

    Hi and welcome! I'm new too and ultimately need to lose about 55 lbs. For myself, it's not realistic to try to lose that much in six months, so my short-term goal is 30 lbs. by the first of July when my parents will celebrate their 60th anniversary. Count me in as a friend and partner in your weight loss efforts:smile:

    Absolutely...I'd love to join you and lose weight with you. I have about 50 more pounds to go before I reach my goal of 130. I have been working very, very hard on it the last month and I've been able to lose 14 pounds in one month. I've got a long way to go. My best friend is getting married in July, at a destination wedding, so it would be a great thing if I can look good at her wedding.
    Thanks for the invite!

    Count me in. My short term was to lose 30 by the end of May and 40 by the end of August, but things are "working out" and I've already lost 12 so I may actually be able to lose all 40 by June 30th.

    Count me in. I my goal is 60lbs in a year. I'm 51 years old and postmenopausal so realistically my weight is going to come off slower. If I can average around a pound a week I'll be happy. I have to be realistic or I'll give up. Good luck to everyone.

    Hi, right there with you on the weight I want to lose. My first goal I am shooting for those is to lose my first 37 pounds to get down to the weight I was a year ago, But my over all goal is more than that. I am new to the sight, just started today, I hope I can succeed.
