    Oh the epic quest for abs! One day, one day I hope to see ANYTHING that closely resembles a flat stomach, much less one with definition. Added :)

    Truer words were never spoken. I've learned on this journey so far that a) weight loss is NOT a straight line and b) you can't do it till you're ready, actually seriously ready. 50lbs is an ambitious goal! Will add :)

    Surgery always throws a wrench in things, but as long as you're okay that's what matters. It's nice to see so many other people starting over as well, it's a good reminder that life curveballs everyone, not just me ;)

    I feel like Donkey from Shrek (Yes, I do have kids! Why do you ask? :wink:) "Pick me! Pick me!" I'm 5'3" currently at 170 something... been avoiding the scale. :neutral_face: I want to get down to 129. Weird number, I know. It just sounds right, lol. :blush: Fellow nerd here, also taking up archery, my husband has a compound bow but his draw weight is a bit of a long shot for me, lol!. :smiley: So yes, pick me! pick me! :wink:

    Hey all - I'm in the same place. I went from over 250 lbs to my lowest weight of 165 last November and now I'm back around 215. My GW is 154.

    Hi Everybody! I'm fairly new to MFP, and completely new to the friend aspect. How do we add folks?
    I'm a 58 year old overweight dietitian, so my driving force is to practice what I preach.
    HT: 5'7"
    HW: 214 lbs
    CW: 183 lbs
    GW: 150 lbs

    I broke my back in 2012, recently had back surgery in Oct 2014, so I've not been able to work out much. I'm just now back to walking.

    Anyway, would appreciate learning how to "add" folks and participate in the forums.

    Cindy, RD in sunny CA

    Feel free to add me too. I'm restarting as well. I lost about 50 lbs in 2007 and after a foot injury in 2010 slowly gained it all back. I'm 3 lbs into my journey and would to have friends along the way for the ride.

    LOL to the Donkey reference. You are CHOSEN! Haha To join our large and varied bunch of ragtags on our epic quest to HEALTH & HOTTIEDOM haha Fellow nerds are extra exciting to add, I'm not gonna lie haha I learned about a local swordfighting/archery/Sherlock Holmes bartitsu school and all my geeky alarm bells went off! Yeah I think if I could learn how to use a normal bow I'd prefer that, compound bows scare me o.o (P.S. Emotes are cool :P)

    Yeah, still have to figure out how I'm gonna deal with life going forward, I'm tired of the half-a$$ed effort and backsliding hamster wheel I've been on >.< Welcome aboard though!

    Grats on the previous success, that's a major achievement :D Randomly, I'm always curious as to how everyone comes up with their goal weights. Maybe that's mostly because I've -never- been healthy or fit, so it's really a shot in the dark for me till I get closer hehe

    Hi my name is Danny. I am 35 years old and I started my weight loss journey at 527 lbs. I currently weigh 224 lbs. I feel better than ever. I want to get down to 199 lbs. I would love to be friends with you and help motivate each other and support each other to reach our goals. Feel free to send me friend request.

    Whoa, congrats! That's amazing.

    I pick my goal weight based on the size of my jeans. :smiley: Not very scientific, but I know how much I have to weigh to be in a 4 - 6 - 8 - 10 and I just shoot for that. I gained 25 lbs after I stopped nursing my last baby in 2012, took off 30 in 2013 and have put about 12 back on. I restarted my goal from my current weight and just working on getting back into my sixes. This time I'm not going down to 1200 a day, though, trying to be more realistic so I don't rebound if I have some cake and a beer on a Saturday night. Best of luck, feel free to add!
