    Hi Laura! I too am looking to lose AT LEAST 100 pounds. I am 315 pounds @ 6'2". I would love to be around 200-215, that is my goal at this point.

    I love this site, its offered unbelievable motivation for me! I just started this journey, but i feel more motivated than ever to change my life.

    Thanks. Yes, slow and steady wins the race. I love that saying and it's one of my favorite b/c it's true. I weigh 295.4 right now but I know I have lost some, I promised myself I will only weigh once a week and so that day is coming up on the 10th so we will see.

    Its amazing how quick it can go, I had my surgery in July 2010 and already down over 100. It has really slowed down during the holidays and the cold weather because I can't exercise the way I was, but I feel like spring will be here soon and still using my Wii to try and help coax the pounds off lol. Good luck and you can do it. Friend me if you wish because I am still shooting to loose at least another 50 or so (I hope)!!

    Hi, Laura, I am Jamie. I am looking at losing at least 100 lbs. Kind of scary actually typing that out. Good luck with your journey. Feel free to add me as a friend. I can sure use the encouragement and support just as much as I like to encourage and support others :)
  • I am trying to lose a lot of weight. I have just started my program. From what I have read, having a structured plan is key.

    You have done so great at your weight loss. I can't wait to say I have lost x amount of weight. I will never again get back to 295.4 pounds after I get it off. Too much on someone who is 5'1 1/2".

    When I get to my goal weight I will have lost 110 pounds. I'm almost halfway there. Slow and steady definitely wins the race. It's a marathon not a sprint. Keep up your hard work laura. :flowerforyou:

    Hi Laura (and everyone else too) I am 25 pounds into my journey of more than 100 pounds to lose. I would love to have some friends with a similar weight loss goal.
  • Hello, my name is Kira and I am a 22 year college student. I am about end my senior year, and next year I will begin a year long student teaching internship. I am not sure what my current weight is, but the last time I weighed myself I was above 300 pounds. Since I am about to enter the job market, I need to loose the weight so i wont be discriminated against.

    SW- Above 300
    First Goal- under 300
    Second Goal- 250
    Third Goal 200
    Final goal 180

    I just sit down and figured out how much I actually have to lose and it's 180.4. However, my ticker is not set to that I have set it to get to 200 pounds first and then go from there. It's a little mind blowing to see that I need to lose that much weight but I know that I can do it. I want to lose more than I actually want to weigh too b/c my goal weigh is 115 pounds. I am very short 5'1 1/2". Thanks!! You are doing awesome and I know you will succeed too!!

    My ticker isn't set to it either. I decided yesterday to break it up. SO it is set to 218 (which is 100 lbs loss for me) , then i will do 33 more lbs to 185 and then 30 lbs to 155.

    This is really all a guess since i never h ave been 155 as an adult, but sounds good :smile: I am 5'6 so i figured as much. The trainer at the gyms said that sounded realistic.

    we will do it !!!

    It overwhelmed me when my ticker didn't move when I lost weight, so I set it to 200 and then when I reach that I will reset it. I have never been 115 as an adult but I asked my doctor about it and she said that was fine for me b/c I am so short. I hate being short.

    Yes, we will do it!!

    I'm short too. I'm shooting for 150 or 160. We will see when I get close to that if I want to go any lower or just tone.
