    Nice to meet you! I don't think I'd qualify considering I have less to loose. I'm 5ft 11" and started at 232lbs and currently 187...looking to aim for around 150-160. It's hard but I started last May and gave up in July until December...started 3 months ago at 216 and now I'm 187.

    I wish you all the best of luck! You can do this! :)

    You guys have started a great thread to support yourselves. I started similar thread about four years ago -so congratulations to you all. A few words of advice to keep this thread going. Each of you should return to this thread every day or so. Try to encourage each other by using their screen name and use only encouraging words. When you begin, start by taking measurements and photos and plan on updating this info every six months. Its so motivating to see your own progress in these!
    Do consider this a long-term commitment and expect to stumble and fall off the wagon - it happens - this is a long journey! Get up and put something on those skinned knees and just be proud of yourself when your return after the tumble. It happens to all of us - especially during the Holiday season. No one is immune.
    Set your goals by writing a list of what your are WILLING TO DO, WON"T DO and WILL CONSIDER LATER. Like I could not do running, I would NOT eat veggies at first, but I would eat fruit, stuff like that. It helps!
    Hope this bit of advice helps!

    Oh, After 20 pages, the thread will "roll over" to a new start - if anyone needs help with this contact me.:flowerforyou:

    I have over 100 to lose too. Pregnant w/3rd at the moment and just trying to maintain at 340. Highest was 384(measured at least) and lowest I saw over 2 years ago was 254 with lots of perseverance and hard work.

    Have been reading posts last few days and so many supportive people!

    Feel free to add me, I will be active and working on getting under 300 ASAP once recover from having baby in November, then my long term goal is 170.

    To All of You who have posted here: This is not just a place to say"hello - friend me we both want to lose the same amount", this is supposed to become your daily chat room and gathering spot. You all can form a community here .......

    that''s the point of all of this.....so, RETURN. Start commenting about a few of the people who have posted above you. Ask them what they are doing toward their goals, re-shaping their food intake, increasing their activity. Then they answer you and also pose some questions... and so a community grows and support and positive talk grows. The negative thoughts that accompany being overweight start going away - a great benefit!

    check out my thread, which has been running for years here. We are awfully full and don't have room for a lot of newbies - so I'm excited for what you've started here. You can copy our format to your own tastes and desires. You don't need one person to lead, we get by on majority vote when it comes to any decision making, like our challenges.

    Thursday - Truth (got anything you need to ‘fess up to or get off your chest?)

    Friday - Fitness (what are you doing to get fit? How are you preparing for weekend eating?

    Saturday - Success (what have you accomplished; focus on the positive of the week, NSV=non scale victories)

    8 down, but still 100+ to lose here too! Add me if you'd like. :) Fair warning: I'm not focused on eating natural/organic/'healthy' (low-sugar, low-sodium) food. Focusing purely on calorie deficit right now, so don't be surprised to find chicken nuggets or peanut M&Ms in my diary. I totally support whatever works for you, though!
