      Im trying to lose at least 40!!!!! Its been a struggle. Im 5'1 and weigh a good 174 right now. Ive never weighed this much in my entire life and its so depressing. I could use a could community to help push and help be pushed especially on those bad days. Good luck to everyone :)

      I would like to lose 40....but I am setting my goals lower since I am just starting out so that mentally I don't discourage myself. 40lbs seems like a looooong way off and I'm not even sure I can do it. I have a tendancy to quit things (I'm working on this!). So I have set goals at 10lbs at a time. This way I feel it is achievable! My start weight was 186 and I want to get down to 176....then when I am there I will set another goal etc.

      I can't afford a gym membership and my food budget is quite low so I am starting off small by logging everything I eat and getting a bit more exercise in my day by taking the stairs, parking further away etc. I know if I try to make any drastic changes, I won't stick with it! With these little changes, so far I'm down about 2 lbs in two weeks!
      Good luck! :smile:

      I'm currently around 226-230 and I'm hoping to get down to 180 over a long-term goal (Even getting below 200 would be awesome!)

      Feel free to add me :]

      My goal is 28 but my real goal is 45 or even 50 lbs. I haven't seen that weight since I went to Air Force officer training. I'm not sure my body would even go there anymore. I was 25 years old then, 48 now. I would love to weigh 105 again or even 115. I'm 5'1" and I look amazing in some of my old pictures. Plus, I now have a joint disease in 8 different bones. Losing this weight will ease the pressure on my joints. Maybe help me avoid a knee replacement or ankle replacement in the future!

      Hi There! Please add me. I am looking to lose 50 pounds as well.

      I am as well. Like Kim I'm trying to break it down into smaller milestones, like getting below 200 pounds, getting below the "overweight" threshold for BMI, etc. I've already reached one goal: my knee pain has gone away! It's hard though - between emotional eating, breastfeeding and running around after a toddler, I feel hungry all the time but can't trust it, and even when I'm very disciplined my numbers barely budge.

      My starting weight was 180, down to 170 now, and my goal is 125-130. Would love some more friends but as I've suffered from eating disorders in the past please do not add me if you eat less than 1400 calories a day even if it's healthy for you because it's still triggering for me. Good luck everyone :)
