    Hello! I have 200 lbs to lose, and I've already lost 18 since beginning on January 1st. I am all about losing weight but I'm also trying to get stronger. I can't keep a job because I am not physically able to stand, or mentally able to handle phones! So I am working on being able to stand.

    Hi, I had well over 100 pounds to lose when I started - I've lost 77 pounds so far - i did make the 100 pound mark but had a massive blip end of last year so back here to lose it again and more. I don't find it easy to lose weight and think I'm going to be struggling with weight and food issues all my life but I am a lot fitter now and actually love exercise. Please feel free to add me we can help each other xx

    Hello I have 75lbs to lose and I'm down 7 so far. I think it's a smart idea to out a future photo self up. I never thought of that. I'm use to eating out a lot and sweets are my back up so it's hard but gets easier by the day. Anyone could add me. I need all the inspiration I can get :) good luck to you all!!

    Hi there!

    My goals are a little different. I am also looking to lose 50-60lbs but of fat! I am most concerned on getting my body fat percentage lowered and into a healthy (and hot!) range.Losing fat and maintaining lean muscle is the most important.

    I started my lifestyle change on January 5th and am down 9.5lbs of fat and a total of 12.4lbs from eating healthy foods, tracking, and exercising daily (walking, rock climbing, hiking, and now I've begun the Couch to 5k program).

    My biggest piece of advice is that there is no such thing as motivation or willpower. It is dedication and habits.

    Please feel free to add me!

    dedication and habits., I like that

    Ooh, sending out a few adds! And I'm alsoooo on the same boat! Currently 15 lbs down (started January 2015) and following a semi low-carb diet. Feel free to add me as well!
  • I would happy to be there for you. I'm hoping to loose 30 by summer and 60 by the end of this year. It's hard but with support it is possible. If you or anyone else on here would like to ad me as a friend that would be wonderful.
