    Hi I'm new! I haven't introduced myself yet.. I'm Julie! 26 years old. I put down that I want to lose about 140 pounds.. Honestly I would like to lose a lot more then that but thats just what I put for now. I had a daughter in Dec 2003 and just kept gaining and I've hit 320pounds I think. I don't know my exact weight at the moment because I don't have a scale but thats what I was at my last Doctors appointment in late October! I just hope I can do it.. I have severe asthma and had a heart problem after having my daughter!

    Talk to you all soon!

    I started at 174 in March. Diet and excerise and eating less chocolate (for real) helped brng me down to 142.5. (weighed today). I want to lose 7 pounds to be about 135. This is my ideal and goal weight.

    Congrats to everyone losing! And to everyone starting!

    We are all doing it for different reasons, but the fact is we should all help each other get there!

    Good luck!

    My ultimate goal is about 100 pounds. but I'm initially just shooting for a 25 lb goal. I know that much will make an incredible difference in how I feel and my health and hopefully reaching that goal will be motivation to keep going the rest of the way.

    I gained a lot after my gallbladder was removed! I had 2 children and got back to my normal size. I then had my gallbladder removed, and gained almost 30 pounds within months. Our Gallbladders regulate a lot of things and do more than we think. (Of course they don't tell you that kind of stuff until after the surgery)

    I am 5'9" and weigh 191.4 lbs.
    My baby was born 7 months ago and I have lost about ten pounds in the past five months. I NEED to loose at least 30 lbs by April 2008 for my wedding. My goal weight is 145 - so my overall goal would be to loose about 45 pounds. -- Back to where I was when I first met my future hubby!

    i am 5'4 and currently weigh 117. my ideal weight is 105 which gives me 12 lbs to lose. i'm finding that my weight was much easier to shed before i turned 30 (i'm 32). :cry:

    i realize that i may not have a lot to lose and that my starting weight isn't that high ...but the bottom line is we all have a "picture perfect" self that makes us happy. :flowerforyou:

    I weigh 215 right now and would like to get down to either 120 or 125 (i'm 5'3) So I guess that would mean I'd like to lose 90 lbs... I hope I can attain my goal!

    I'm 5' 3.5" and my wishful thinking goal would put me at 110, so 100 pounds, but that's REALLY not realistic and I know that.
    My realistic goal, I think, is 135, so 75 pounds. I'm hoping to be there by New Year's 09. I'm hoping to hit 20 pounds off by the end of February, down to 170 or lower by June and 150 by August. I think by breaking it up this way I can keep myself from focusing on the 135 (or lower and getting discouraged) and I'll have milestones to celebrate along the way.

    I hit my peak weight 3 months ago - 360 lbs. I grieved about it until December, and then realized it was time to fix it.

    So far I've lost 4 lbs (and I weigh in again on Friday).

    My goal is to lose 180 lbs. I'm 5'-9" tall and feel that 180 would be perfect for my size and body shape.

    i figured it would be good to post here, since its so easy to make excuses about why i dont stick with getting in shape... especially when i'm the only one who knows about it
    I started out last week @ 163 and, eventually i'd like to be around 125.
    Right now i'm at 157 and, my short term goal is 150 by the end of january.
    Thanks for reading this, have a great day, and good luck! :smile:
