I started about a week go at 233lbs already down 5 pounds with 98 more to go. I'm a mother to a beautiful 1 and a half year old and will be getting married Late April of 2015. I'd love to lose 50 pounds before my wedding ( I know, "Dream Big").

    good luck!
    and congrats on your engagement!
    50lbs seems like a stretch to April but i bet you could do 30-40lbs. even at 30-40lbs loss you'll feel great!!

    Thank you! I know 50 pounds would be alot in 4 1/2 months, but It's just a goal. I would be happy to lose at least 30 and be in the 100's again.

    I started in the 230's and am down to 205 as of today. My goal is to get down to 140. And I can't wait to see that 2 turn into a 1 on my scale! We can do it! Good luck! I'd like to add you.

    50 would be a bit difficult (not impossible, but very difficult), so don't feel too defeated if it doesn't happen and please do be safe about it! It's not bad to have big goals, just don't let those goals hurt you. Celebrate whatever success you make and keep pushing forward from there.

    Hi this sounds like me!!

    Although I don't think I can get lower than 170 and maintain!!

    You have achieved my goal! What does it feel like?? I hope to be at 170 in 2015 :-)

    Hi everyone!! First off, to the OP - Congrats on your engagement! I also have 100 pounds to lose (12 pounds down so far), which seems nearly impossible at times but I know it can be done.

    Anyone feel free to add me - I enjoy making new friends! We're all in this together and having friends to support you and motivate you makes this road that we're on a bit more easy to travel than if we were going at it alone!
