    I want to lose 80! I have to break it into five pound segments or I will just be totally overwhelmed. Good luck to you and if you would like to add me, please do! I can use all the encouragement and support I can get!

    Hey there! I started out at 267, and in 4 months have lost 20lbs(not a whole lot of trying on my part). My goal is to be at the highest, 150. I would like to be lower...but I'll settle for 150 at the moment. Don't want to overwhelm my brain! I will tell you the best things that helped me...cutting out pop(and if I do have one it's Diet), PORTIONS, this has been so crucial for me, and actually tracking my calories. Seeing how much I was consuming was a real eye opener. Feel free to friend me!

    Hi Im Stephanie. I have two groups I am running, one is called "No more excuses Janurary, lose 10+ lbs" and the second one is "Can you lose 50 lbs by July 1st? challenge!!!" We weigh in on Saturdays. I post a chart of Mondays. The only rule we have is you must weigh in every week and you must be positive, I believe if your negative, it is harder to lose the weight. You can weigh in Friday or Saturday. But weighin in is a must. Today in both groups we had a mini challenge to burn 500 calories today. We push each other to succeed. If your interested your welcome to join.

    I totally know where you're coming from. I had NO idea exactly HOW much food I was actually consuming! I'm focusing on portion control (I even measure my food now; hoping to become good at just eyeing it once it's more of a habit). It's a wonderful feeling, though, to actually know when you're body's telling you you've had enough! I don't think I even gave my body a chance before!

    I started my journey at 222 and am currently 198 with a goal of 180. :)
    If interested friend me.
    It's hard work and I kind of did it half way till the last couple of months. Then it started falling off. I'm hoping that keeps up. :) Once I started tracking my calories is when it really started kicking in.

    I agree with you about the soda, portioning and counting calories. Just by doing that I've lost 5lbs in a week! I only drink water now and lots of it!

    I will be your friend if you like...
    I started at 220 on Jan 4, 2010 and was down to 151 right before Christmas. I am currently at 154. (Darn holidays lol)
    You can do this! I was totally out of control with my eating and have finally learned to control it instead of it controlling me!
    Good luck!
