    I just started on 01/05/15, current weight 183lbs, want to lose 50, my plan is walking 3-4 miles Monday to Friday, started several 30 day challenge workouts for legs, abs, back & arms, tomorrow is my rest day from the 30 day challenges (looking forward to that) I will rest from walking on the weekend. Good luck to all of us

    Yeah me to, tried this a while ago but couldn't stick at it.. Tried too much all at once I think. Have about 50-60 to lose.... I'm at 227 (The highest i've ever been) but I want to get down to 167. So this time I'm gonna try and make small changes everyday and see how it builds :smiley:

    181 and aiming for 135. I've been off and on for the last year and I'm really hoping I stick with it this time. There is a voice in the back of my head that keeps telling me I can't do it, but I'm going to try to keep moving and eating healthy and cross my fingers that I finally start seeing some results!

    Good luck to you and everyone else!

    Last time I was on the scale (last year) I was about 185. I'm afraid to see what I am at now. I just got engaged (yayy!) so I'd like to (have to!) lose weight for my wedding. Id love to lose 40+lbs (that number seems impossible!!) I don't know how I am going to get off the chicken wings, fast food & beer though :( (vegetables suck!)

    I am restarting my goal to loose 40-50 lb. I started out at 212 got down to 192 for my wedding and have unfortunately gained half of it back. I would be happy if I was down to 150 again. Just trying to stay motivated to eat right and work out.

    Hi! Any of you can feel free to add me. At my heaviest I was 209lbs, now 184lbs. Goal to reach between 125-140lbs. I did lose a further 16lbs and was down to 168lbs at one point but I slacked and put that back on. Trying to get serious this year and get the body I want! Good luck reaching your goals and maintaining them! xx

    I haven't read through the SEVEN pages of responses :) BUT I wanted to say your post made me cry. When I saw your numbers and thought about how I am FINALLY in the category of only needing to lose 50/60 lbs to get to a "normal" weight. I do think I need to lose a bit more than that really, but vanity pounds vs. I MAY DIE FROM THIS pounds are a huge difference.

    Anyway what I really wanted to say when I first read your title before I got all wrapped up in my own feels was that what you want as friends is people who have already lost that amount of weight, not just people who need to do it.

    This site is invaluable for the advice of the people who have been there, done that. In addition to what you get in your feeds, READ the message boards and LISTEN to the advice. Even if you never post, you can gain so much knowledge just from reading.

    That goes out not just to OP but to all the people who are just starting out. You are me one year ago. This past year, I lost 50 lbs and that was with me taking March- September totally off and eating at old habits, and with me not really exerting much effort the rest of the time. It really really really does not need to be as hard as you think it will be to get from obese-overweight-normal BMI. It WILL take some patience. I started at morbidly obese at the beginning of last year so this year I'll get to "normal" BMI, but please if you feel frustrated read read and read some more around here. The boards are full of a lot of crap but also a lot of wisdom.

    Feel free to add me. I just started a couple days ago after seeing the highest number on a scale I have ever seen. 39, 5'4", 206 pounds. Goal weight-- the weight that I no longer get winded simply getting out of bed. :\ Whatever that is...lol

    Hi there,
    I've been here before but now have 37 pounds to lose to get back from 222 to an "overweight" rather then obese BMI. I'd like to lose more but want to try and maintain at a slightly higher rate, an attempt to break the losing and gaining cycle.

    I'm at 215 and want to get to 160-170. I could use a few friends on this journey. I was 330lbs when my son was born 3 years ago and it's been a struggle. I have rheumatoid arthritis and working out causes pain, but I need to do it. I want to be healthy for my baby boy and to remove all this extra skin from my body. Anyone feel free to add me if they need a friend! I know I could use a few to help me!

    I'm just getting started myself. Tomorrow is 1 week and still trying to figure it all out. Weighed myself and saw 226, ugh. Lost 3 being sick after Christmas so started January @ 223 . Goal is to hit 200 & keep going from there. 50 - 75 is what I really need to lose but one day at a time. I think the support on here is wonderful! I could use another friend.
