I started the journey weighing 430.2 pounds. My goal is actually about fitting in my cloths, but I put the number 225 as my goal as I was 235 when I was much more muscular. I am hoping to reach my goal before my next birthday. I am currently on track to reach my goal.0 -

My biggest weakness: Eating out! I have been trying to cook some of my favorites so at least I know what I am putting into the dishes and can control portion size.
My motivation: Wanting to feel more comfortable in my own skin. My husband loves me the way I am and thinks I am beautiful, but I know in the past I was much healthier and fit and look forward to being that person again.0 -

Had my fitness pal for a while- been naughty and not really used it as I should have, now I see the benefits and the links to everything else. I'm now linked to Withings, DietBet, Fitbug. The barcode scan in my fitness pal is awsome and will help me be consistent with monitoring my food intake an area where we probably all kid ourselves with what we've eaten - I'm know I've been guilty of that! It makes the task of recording intake easy and not onerous.
I'm looking forward to long term goals and changes to healthy lifestyle.0 -

Laura- we also had trouble conceiving our 2nd child. My girls are 8 years apart. I was very heavy while trying to get pregnant and we lost 2 before my 2nd daughter. I truly believe that losing 50 lbs helped me to have a healthy pregnancy.0

My biggest weakness: Fried chicken.
My motivation: i was diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and that was quite the kick up the backside to lose the weight. Also me and my OH are thinking of children in the future and I have PCOS so losing weight will help. I started at 224.8lb about 10 weeks ago so I'm looking forward to being the lightest I've been in years!0 -
Welcome everyone....to those trying to concieve...I feel your struggle, we tried at least 2 years before my 4year old was conceived. What I did right before that was join weight watchers and lost 20 lbs, and bam then I was pregnant. I really think that my weight was a big factor....so KUDOS to you for taking this step BEFORE you get pregnant. You are doing the right thing, its so much easier to lose it before (at least for me!)0

My biggest weakness: Vanilla ice-cream with m&ms or anything I've never tried before.
My motivation: First, my health, I like feeling my body be able to do more each time. Second, I want to be an inspiration for a certain person in my family who needs to get her act together before she actually goes into the morbidly obese part of the scale. Third, I want to be the hottest and prettiest bride ever, and since I have an inkling that my SO's gonna pop the question sometime next year, I decided I might as well get a jump start :P0 -

Anything else interesting... I'm in my final year of veterinary school and am getting ready to take my National Board Exam on December 12th!!!0 -
