    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.

    I started around 205 and I am down to 194. I would love to get down into the 120's as a long term goal but losing 60ish pounds to start would be awesome.

    We can all do this! I'm just like the rest. Need accountability. This is my dilemma. I'm finally motivated for myself to do this. Please join me and let's change our lives for the better. Looking forward to the year!

    Hey everyone! I started at 203 and I'm down to 178.... (Or at least... that was my last weigh in) My goal is to get down to 170 before the end of the month. I do mini goals. Make me push harder for my short term goals. I'd love to add more accountability friends!
