    Count me in for this group. Ideally I'd like to be at 160lbs. I have all the tools, I just have to stick with it. That's what brought me here. Good luck to all!


    Welcome!!

    Thank you! I added you as a friend. Anyone...feel free to add me as well. The more people riding my butt the better!

    HI,

    I am looking to lose a little more than 100. I am 50 and single. I will be 51 in April. My starting weight (at 5'9") was 278. I am looking to get to 175, then reassess whether it makes sense to try for 150. In my younger years (up until about 30), I weighed between 130-140.

    By the time I started a law school in '96, I was at 175. Since starting to practice law in late '99, I have added 103 pounds thru stress and being sedentary. I actually got up to 285 in 2008. I got a good start in 2009 by losing 35 pounds. I met a man shortly thereafter, and stopped actively pursuing my weight goal. I maintained the 35 pound loss however. That is until my relationship ended at he same time my law firm started going under last year this time.

    Asa result I got all the way back up to 278, before I snapped out of it.

    SW- 278

    1st GW- 250
    2nd GW-225
    3rd GW-200

    Thank you Leesa. I am trying really hard. I want to get this weight off and keep it off. I love snow but I don't like being stuck inside and can't even get out of my own yard.

    Good morning my lovlies! How is everyone doing? Did everybody log all their food yesterday? I did and I went over by 29 calories.

    I am feeling great today. Things are looking like I could win this week's biggest loser at work. Yay!!

    Biggest Loser is on tonight. Does anybody watch it? For those that do, tonight lets all do some form of exercise during the commercials. Only during the commercials. Get up and walk around the room, during one during the next if you have small hand weights do something with them, the next squats, anything you want. If you are not already doing some kind of exercise you can just do it for the first hour.

    Come on you can do it.

    Hi Staci. I am feeling great today as well. I have done some exercise on my bike but I am getting ready to go and do some more. I have never watched the biggest loser. I might start.

    Good morning everyone. I hope everyone is having a good day so far. Last night I set a goal of running two miles and I felt so good that I ran three! In my running I decided that my first goal is to get down to a 12 minute mile. That's going to be tough because my knees tend to ache and I get shin splints sometimes. But I can do it. I know those two are by products of all the extra weight I'm carrying.

    Tonight it's some good old fashioned weight lifting for me. If I have time I'll throw in a run.

    Hi Leah. Myfitnesspal is awesome! I love it. Wow, 12 teenage boys. You must have tons of patience. I have 2 kids. Anna Grace, who is 5 and thinks she is 15, and Jacob who is 3.

    Hey everyone, I hope this don't make anyone mad but I only except friend request from women. I just feel more comfortable with that. I hope you guys understand that. I'm sorry if it offends anyone.

    I am at 271 currently and my long term goal is to eventually lose 100 lbs. For a goal for this year I would like to weigh 199 lbs by December. That only seems like a dream though. I am exercising to our xbox kinect for now until the weather warms up and eating only 1600 or less calories a day. i am watching what I eat and eating things that fill me up but are good for me. I feel like I should be eating less then I am to lose weight but I always stay below my calories.

    Welcome Raquel!! I eat about 1600 calories every day and I have already lost 3.2 pounds in a week. I am going by what my doctor said I should do. She said anywhere from 1200 to 1600 but I tend to shoot towards 1600 a day.

    Ultimately I'd like to lose around 100. I'm going to set smaller more manageable goals to start with though. Ideally I'd like to lose about 50 this year (1lb per week)
