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 I am 5'6 so i figured as much. The trainer at the gyms said that sounded realistic.

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.

Hi all, I see that a good majority of you that say you have at least 100 pounds, some more, have just become members! So I wanted to offer something in you all will allow me. In 9 days it will be one year since something happened inside me, really happened inside me. I was sitting at 306, (probably more that was just the last weight that was actually seen on a scale months before). I had been gaining weight, steadily, for 16 years, since our last child was born. I was constanly tired, I was constanly making sure my fat rolls were covered, (still have some just a lot smaller), I constantly had back and foot pain, I could barely get my seat belt on in the car, I detested airplanes, movies theatres, sports arenas, and anything with those LITTLE seats. Bottom line, I was MISERABLE. I was a size 26, or 3x sometimes 4x pant and a 3x shirt and it was so difficult to find clothes and from sheer embarrassment I would only shop online. I did not sleep well and tossed and turned all night long and the smallest of things had me huffing and puffing.

Well I don't know how I can even explain it to you but I just knew it had to stop. Of course I had said that EVERY year when the new year would turn and I would work a it for like two weeks and would always stop. I just couldn't be like tha any more and on 1/14/10 I was watching a health show and a piece of exercise equipment came on! I told myself I had to do this, I had to. I ordered this piece of equipment and vowed to do it! I gave myself a year! I said "I can do this for a year!" I wanted to do it for a year because I knew if I committed to that, that by the time the year was over there was probably no way I would just stop and go back to how it was before. I also said if I could lose 100 pounds in a year, that would be great.

I won't give the complete years details, but instead tell you that it has sometimes felt long, it has sometimes felt like I couldn't do it, I have sometimes felt like I wanted to pig out on sweets, I have sometimes tried to give myself the OK to not work out, I have sometimes been depressed because I wasn't seeing results, and so on. But it is all part of the process and as long as you work at it, to the best of your ability, day in and day out, befriend people here who help support you, and always (ALWAYS) remember your end goal, you will get there.

Let me tell you some of the things that happen along the way! You begin to have more energy, you begin to sleep through the night and actually have a restful nights sleep, your pains slowly go away and you can't believe how amazing it feels to be pain free. Your clothes will start to get loose and then one day you will just not be able to wear those anymore, you will have to get some new clothes and donate the others to goodwill. Your face will begin to get slimmer and you will actually look at yourself the mirror more. Then one day you will be in XL pants and large shirts, your shoes will be big because your foot size has shrunk, you can go to a store and stay in the same section as her instead of going over to the plus size, and, wait for it, you will go to get your normal hair cut and our hairdresser, of 12 years, will be so proud of you that she will ask if she can do a complete makeover on you and you let her.

You all can do this. One day at a time, but you can do it and with each month that passes you will gain more confidence and be more proud of yourselves.
