in Introduce Yourself
So, I'm not actually new, I've been using this site for about a year, and as my ticker says I've lost 69 pounds (lulz) so far.

I would like to find more friends who have goals similar to mine:
SW: 363lbs
CW: 294lbs
UGW: 175lbs
188lbs to lose in total.
120lbs left to lose (around).

Basically, if you have lots to lose, we can be buds :glasses: :drinker:

    I had a starting weight of 375 07/01/2013 am currently at 222 lbs this week. I have a very similar goal to yours. I am very honest and open with my food and dedicated to workouts. If you want someone to follow would be glad to share. Also will be a good encouragement.

    I am here with you all - I am not feeling courageous enough to post my weight, but suffice it to say I need to lose 150-200 to be pleasantly plump. I am working with a great dietician and she is helping me. I plan to see a counselor too - gotta fill the hole I keep trying to fill with food. You know? My eating has neevr been this ourt of control. Time to get it back in check. Slow process. Please add me as a friend - the more friends the better!

    I just started my weight loss journey (after a gear of on again off again). I am on day three. I started at 305.8, I won't weigh myself again until Monday. My goal is 150.

    Just want to say you should be VERY proud of yourself. I hope the journey is as rewarding as the end goal will be. By that I mean that you should be proud of yourself and your life should be better along the way, not just when you've accomplished your goal.

    Many people fail to try to lose weight because it's perceived as an insurmountable task. Hopefully you realize that's not true because you are rewarded every day for your efforts.

    Nice job. Keep the faith!

    At my highest I was 375, although I started MFP the first time at 345 or so. I'm currently 309ish and working towards 175 (200 pounds lost) and then I will reassess and see how I look and feel. At 5'8", 175 is still "overweight" but I haven't been below 200 pounds since I was 12 years old (I'm 44 now) so I have no idea where I will feel comfy in the end ;)

    I am VERY committed to not giving up, no matter how long it takes. Feel free to add me!

    You're beautiful and you can do it. Just take it day-by-day and always recognize the immediate rewards of dieting. That is even with more weight to lose, you already look better, you feel better, your attitude and your confidence are better, you have a better life.

    And it only gets better.

    You should be VERY proud of yourself.

    Keep the faith!

    I restarted tracking last year at around 305 pounds (at 5'5" in height). I've lost about 15ish in the last year (I had lost more, but got really off track around Christmas and only recently got back on), but I've developed some better habits in that time: more fruits and veggies, less fried foods, eliminated sugar from my daily coffees (still splurge with mochas on the weekend grocery trips though).

    My goal is to get down to somewhere between 150 & 175; however, as long as I am under 180, healthy, and active, I will be a happy camper. Congrats on your progress so far, and feel free to add me.

    Hey There, this is an awesome idea, count me in. I'm right there with you, so far having the support of friends with similar goals has been very beneficial.

    Anyone with similar goals feel free to add me also:

    SW: 445
    CW: 422.2
    1ST GOAL: 398
    2ND GOAL: 320
    3RD GOAL: 270
    4TH GOAL: 198
    5TH GOAL: 145
    END GOAL: Be healthy and take up Karate, I've always wanted to be able to defend myself well physically instead of just verbally.

    God Bless everyone!

    I just began my journey again in June 2014 (last month). My starting weight was 252, I am now at 241. I find everyone on MFP very supportive and its been helping to keep me going.

    My first major goal is to get under 200 lbs, that's when I get to go zip lining. My End goal would be around 150 and I will re-access from there.

    I know I am going to do it this time and will be happy to help you as well.

    I would love to be a part of this. I just joined MFP, but I have been working on some lifestyle changes for the last few months. I am 6'3, but my numbers are still way too high for my height.

    SW: 441

    GW: 260

    I feel that support like this is probably just what we need.

    well I have been on this for about a year and I am 63, My top weight was 298 then I got to 260, I am back up to 281 and need to lose the weight. My body hurts from arthritis and its hard to get around with my grandchildren. I had a bad last 8 months with the death of my mother at age 98. She was in good health for her age and still lived alone but her heart gave out. My husband aND I lived at her house for 7 months going through 67 years of memory. Well the comfort food went with it so I am really needing support to get back on track. I am so impressed with the results that I have read on this site. I am back to exercising too.
