    Hi Tori. I am also new. Welcome. I am hoping to lose 30 lbs by end of may (18 weeks) for my brothers wedding.

    I can't seem to "add" anyone as friends! When I click on people, it doesn't open their profile!

    If you want to send me a request, that might work?

    Samantha - That's great! Good luck! I'm hoping to lose 50lbs by August/September - for no reason besides my health and possibly trying to start a family!

    My overall goal is 50 also but I'm making a short term to start. And mine are the same reasons.

    Hi Tori! It's great that your motives are for yourself and your family. I want to lose 60-80 by August/September before I start graduate school.

    Short term goals are super important - I have set up a few of my own as well! Hopefully that keeps us focused until we reach our goals!

    Thanks! I have always been super active - I play a lot of sports, but my eating has obviously outweighed that.. And here I am! Working out and exercising is more difficult now - and I want to get back into shape so I enjoy it again and so I am a good role model for my future children! Good luck in your journey! Add me if you want :)

    Yes. I agree. Short term goals are extremely important. I've set mine up to lose about 10 lbs a month, as well as a few other workout specific goals. What do your short term goals look like?

    Hi Tori. I as well am trying to lose about 50 pounds. I've tried and failed many times. This time I feel very supported both at home and work with others that are trying to lose weight. My first goal was to get under 200. I weighed myself today and I'm at 201. I'm so close it seems to help me a lot to set the smaller goals vs. the overall 50 lbs. Good luck. We can do this.!! (:
