in Getting Started
Hi ladies,

I'm 22, 5'8" and 185 lbs. I am looking to get down to about 130! At my heaviest I was 270 and if I can do that I can lose the last

Please add me as a friend! I would love to "meet" new people!

    at my heaviest I was 340; had a stroke and got down to about 184-190; went thru a vicious divorce and went back up to 254 ( current weight). Ideally I'd like to lose another 80-100 pounds. I have a NuStep recumbent cross trainer, but it's currently in storage. Hoping to get a few nicer days and some help with gettting it moved out of storage and into my aparment. I love that thing. I like my 60+ minute workouts I used to do on it. Obviously, i'm going to have to slowly build up my endurance again; but I love the way I feel after a good long workout!! :)

    I need to lose about 100. But, it's not the 140 I used to need to lose ;) I have a goal of being under 200 by July 1.

    Hi, I need to lose 110 lbs! I have lost and gained and lost and gained all my life. Need motivation and encouragement! Very hard for me to do if anyone would be willing to help I would appreciate it. Hate exercise but know I need to do it! Want to get healthy so I will be around for my wonderful Grandchildren!

    So I'm officially at the largest I've ever been & am so upset that I let myself get this far. I have hardly any support in my home life & not sure how I'm going to manage this. I've set myself 2 goals.... #1 to lose 70 pounds then #2 is to lose a total of 90.

    I am at the largest I have been as well. I don't have a lot of support at home either. I am hoping that my daughters will help keep me on track. I am looking to lose about 90 pounds.

    I have done the loose weight, gain more back all my life. Planning to adopt a lifelong healthy eating plan and loose 68 pounds. I am giving up diet coke, gluten, sugar, and dairy.

    You ladies sound exactly like me. My husband insists on paying for the Y membership but won't go with me and his job is erratic snd I sometimes have help with picking up the child etc and sometimes don't. I have a virtual gym in basement but don't even use that. It seems like I always have a million other things to do. Time to make health a priority! :wink:
    I'm 5'2", 205, and also the largest I've ever been. It's so disheartening. We're also trying to have a baby. After 5 years of saying I'd lose 50 pounds first, I finally decided to just go for it, because all I was doing was getting bigger and getting older! So, yeah, WE GOT THIS! We have things to live for! :smiley:
