in Getting Started
Hey guys!

I know a lot of you like me use the ticker to kind of show where you started, where you're at, and where you want to go, but I decided to just start a friendly, supportive, motivating topic for everyone!

SW= start weight
CW= current weight
GW= goal weight
(if you can include your start date, and when you want to reach your goal weight!)

go ahead and add on any success stories, WHY you're doing this, your goals (whether you want a flat stomach, muscles, etc.), the food you eat, anything you'd like!

I'll start: my '~' = approximately
my SW= ~185 as of June 10th 2014, My CW is ~ 176.8 as of July 10th (8.2 lb lost in a month!), My GW is ~135, I'd love to be 135 by this Christmas if possible! That's a 50 lb weight loss in 6 1/2 months.

    SW 2008 - 307 lb
    SW 2013 (when I joined this website) - 262 lb
    CW - 177 lb
    GW - 162 lb...I expect to reach this by the end of the year and maintain permanently - most likely in the 150-170 range. I know that's a big range but that's a plan for the rest of my life. I'm 5'8" and 37 years old.

    SW - 130 (July 2013)
    CW - 110 (End of August 2013 - Early September 2013)
    GW - It was 115. I'm trying to maintain my weight as of now. My weight did go back up to 117 but I've worked it off recently

    I'm doing this because I wanted to lose a little bit of weight and now I love being healthy. It makes me happier and I feel better!

    I'll reassess when I get there if I need to lose any more. As of right now my goal is to reach GW by the end of the year. But right now I've been kinda stalled out so I'm more concerned with getting things kickstarted again.

    I would also love to lower my body fat percentage and get more toned. I've cut back on the cardio and have started lifting a lot more, so hopefully I'll be able to lose a couple inches as well:)

    SW (as of June 30th) = 212lbs
    CW (as of July 9th) = 209lbs
    My current GW = 175 lbs, and if I get there, I might try to get to my lowest weight; 150lbs
    No clue when I'll make it there... I just started. :)

    I'm 5'4"

    SW (May 2014) = ~152
    CW (July 9th 2014) = 139
    GW = 125 (I think? We'll see)

    Hopefully by around October or so. I'm going back to college in August so that will be an obstacle to my current routine and I'm expecting it to slow down significant'y because of that. :P

    CW: 253.6
    GW: 199 for now - I haven't been under 200 since 1994 so I want to get there first before I head for the home stretch.

    I'm shooting for the end of this year but if it takes longer, that's alright too. The time's passing by anyway.

    Best of luck to everyone!

    Hi - 50+ woman

    SW - 180ish
    CW-175
    GW - anything lower than I am now, as long as I am fit and it reduces my A1C (over 6.)

    I have finally had success since April with workouts thanks to Pilates and home yoga and long walks, which is helping me not gain weight, but I am afraid I have to reduce the portions a little more to avoid going on diabetes meds.

    SW: 210.2 (1/1/12)
    CW: 158.0 (7/9/14)
    GW: FIT, HEALTHY, STRONG!

    I've come to realize that I don't have a goal weight, as in a number. I would like to weigh 145, but I still have a lot of stomach fat to lose and I don't think getting to that number is going to make it magically disappear. My GOAL is to start lifting more weights and hopefully that coupled with a healthy diet will help transform my physique. I don't want to be super ripped or buff or a body builder. I just want to be 100% comfortable and confident in my body. I'm learning to love the body that I currently have though, because it's gotten me this far and I can't wait to see what is still to come.

    I want to hit my goal by mid October before my husband comes back from deployment. 26 lbs in 3 months. Yet I haven't budged a lb. since late May... My body seems to be happy at 166 but my head is not.

    GW: originally 150, then 145, then 140, now 135. Who knows where I'll stop - 130 would be pretty thin for me.

    SW= 210lb
    CW= 190.2 lb
    GW= 160lb
    UGW= 130lb

    I joined in april, but didn't get serious until June hit. I take the 18th of june as my start date (when I was 200lb) because I took my first weight loss pic then. I would like to be 130lb by June 18, 2015. A year from the beginning. I also have a never ending goal of being healthy, fit, stronger, and just better in health really.

    Oh, I'm 5'2. Shorties unite! :')
