    My name is Kelsey. I have been here before but this time I feel like i'm in it for the long haul. I need to lose about 80 pounds. I've been at this for 4 days and have already lost 3 lbs. It's not much but every pound is something. I am here to start feeling better about myself and to be a healthier me. I'm a nursing student and i feel that my weight holds me back from being my best. I have a three year old son and I'm doing this for him too. It is time for a change!

    Welcome back!

    I've been here for 35 days now, I log in EVERY day, and try to keep my friend list rather small so I can try to interact with each one better.

    I'm 6'4", and started at 415.0 lbs, and am currently at 373.0 lbs. My current goal is to make it to 370.0, and then 365.0, 360.0, so on so forth until I get to around 240 ish.

    As long as you log in every day and don't live on crappy Healthy Choice boxed meals, feel free to add me (anyone).

    Hi. I'm returning as well. I am 5'10 and my goal is 175 as well. I have a little over 100 lbs to lose. I am convinced that this works, so I am going to stick to it this time. Good luck!!

    We have similar stats and goals - I'm 5'8 and started around 281, and I'm ultimately looking to be in the 170-180ish range. I log every day and try to be pretty active as a friend on here!

    I am 5'10" and currently 252 at my highest was 301. Still unsure what my ultimate goal will be- but trying. Still losing but thinking of ideal protein seems to work for a lot but scared to try it so far.

    Hi All :)

    After gaining and losing the same 60 pounds a number of times, I'm now sitting at 291lbs. Ultimately, I want to get down to 180lbs.

    I have a really long way to go, but have successfully lost weight before so I know that I can do it. And I also know that you can do it too!

    This time I'm trying to eat in a sustainable way - healthy, whole foods normally, and eating freely, but in controlled way at social functions.

    Feel free to add me, I log in every day and track meticulously.

    Hi there, my name is Moe. I'm 30 years old, happily married with three amazing kids (all under the age of 6).

    At my absolute heaviest I was 430lbs, I'm now down to 375. So far I've just been losing through eating carefully though there has been the occasional slip.

    If anyone wants to friend me I'll accept. There's nothing like knowing others are going through the same struggles and being able to provide support and encouragement when needed.

    I'm 5'6" and started 6 days ago at 250.2 lbs. This morning I weighed 244.1 lbs. I need to lose about 90 lbs to be where the Doctor says I should be. I too am on medication that makes you gain and retain weight and am also post menopausal. I've been walking for 20 minutes, 3 times this week and we, as a family are joining the gym tomorrow. I gained 40 lbs of the 80 I had lost over the last 2 years. I am eating healthier and measuring portions as well as increasing activity.
