    You can add me as a friend! My friends say I'm a good motivator. Also if you look through my friends list and send a request to some they may even add you as well.

    What's your end goal brother? I started in the 270s and was originally goaling for 220, but setting my sights on 205. Keep up the awesome work!

    My end goal is 170 lbs but my doctor would like me to be more in the 150 to 160 range.

    I also started at 250 with high triglycerides and heart problems, now down to 180. 70 pounds down, 40 to go and I've never felt better. My life has changed completely! You can do it. One day at a time. :D

    Add me on your list. I am currently down 28lbs, but have more to go. Working on my next 20. I would like to get down 60 in total. I post weekly goals to keep me motivated, and am the only one in my house who thinks weight loss is a good thing. It's hard to stay motivated with my darling husband thinking the house is better when their are cookies and ice cream available. I've joined a couple of groups too. It feels better to know that others are going through this journey with me.

    Good to meet you. Looks like we are trying to loose about the same weight. You hang in the also.

    Hello, feel free to add me as well. I have just celebrated my 1 year here on MFP yesterday (which marks 1 year of my journey so far) and looking to lose another 40-45 lbs or so. I don't post much on the boards, but am far more active with my news feed. :) Anyway, I wanted to say, great job so far!
