I would love to connect with other people who are attempting to lose 80+ lbs. It sounds like so much and I want to do everything I can to not get overwhelmed and stay the course. Friend me and let's help each other!

    I weigh 360 pounds, and my goal weight is 260. So thats 100 pounds that I need to lose. I'm giving myself a year, because that's less than 2lbs a week, and if I don't push myself, I won't do it. My fiancé and I want to start trying for a baby next year, and it's extremely unhealthy at this weight. I have set a smaller goal of 335 by the end of May. I need this. I'm a size 4 at Torrid, and a size 26w elsewhere. I dont mind being plus size (I have always been), but i want to be healthier. I'm a teacher, and I want to be healthier, lighter on my feet, and more energetic.

    I am wanting to lose 100lbs in total but my short term goal is to lose 40lbs by the end of July I am going to need motivation and a little push now and again but I believe I can do it

    I want to lose 90lbs ideally (would take me to 140ish) but I'm like you in that it seems such a big challenge that the fear of failure is shying me away from doing things right. I would love to be friends with anybody in the same boat and to motivate each other

    I started at 210lbs in January, now at 186.5 and long term want to get to around 133, so a loss of just under 80lbs. My short term goal is to get to 175lb by 28 April for a holiday. Good luck everyone - we can do this :)

    Right here with you! I also have a goal of 80+. We can do this. Small steps. There is a quote I love "365 days from now you will be glad you started today"

    OK, I'll add the blokes perspective. I'm about 290lbs looking to lose at least 120lbs. Ambitious, but you gotta aim high eh? I have to be fit to be able to do the job I do so it's a need rather than a want.
    I wish you all a successful journey.

    I'm looking to lose about 80 pounds. (I am going off of what i weighed the last time at the doctor) I don't weigh myself often, but know I've made improvement in the last month, as my pants are becoming quite loose :)
