    When I started my journey in May 2010 I wanted to lose 90 lbs. Well I'm over halfway there! Once you get your mind set to do it, YOU CAN!

    If anyone wants to join in on my short term thread till Easter, feel free! :flowerforyou:

    Hi, I am new to this as well.

    I am currently at 190lbs. (13.5 stone) In Summer 2009 i started loosing weight when i reached nearly 16 stone -just a couple of pounds under! (222 lbs) Initially i did quite well, i was taking reductil (with no adverse reactions or medical issues- guess i was one of the lucky ones until it was band and no longer available :o(( ) I was going to Aqua aerobics 4 times a week and i lost an amazing 56 lbs by summer 2010..... Then i split with my long term partner, was very stressful, started going out partying a lot (alcohol, take away etc) and got out of doing the exercise. I have put on 24lbs in the last 5 months or so.

    I want to loose around 30lbs. I know i will still be classed as overweight, but its been a long time since i was anywhere near 140lbs and to be quite frank,; i dont want to be that thin. I like my curves and my boobs too much lol. I want to be a few pounds lighter then i was before it all went wrong.

    So i am in it for the long haul, the only way to loose weight and keep it off is to do it slowly- i am aiming for 1lb a week loss.

    Not only do I need to lose weight but also eat healthier. I am good for the first few days and then I am not sure what to eat. I'll support you if you support me.

    I'm with you. Stopped dieting for about a month and started to gain again. Keeping track of everything you eat makes you accountable for your actions. It is a real eye opener. I need to lose another 25-30 before I am at my goal weight for when I got married 3 years ago. I need to get my butt to the gym as well. Looks like we all have a strong support system on here.

    I'll probably try to start a thread later today. we could maybe set a goal for the week and talk about how we're doing with it throughout the week... i participate in another thread and i think its great! any ideas for a thread name? or preferences in weigh in days? ( i would personally prefer sunday or monday)

    I'm 39 and at 5'3" weigh 192. I got serious on MFP about 2 weeks ago and have since lost 7 lbs. A little self conscious about putting myself out there but would love to have people to communicate and share with. I've been up and down so many times with my weight that I'd really like to lose it for good this time. Feel free to add me.
