    I'm in! I have 95lbs to go to my first target but I will probably then be starting a new mission to lose the last 20lb. Too scary to think of it all in one go.

    Please add me in! I have been really good about tracking and this will be an incentive to keep going! I have to lose at least another 100. My personal reasons are:
    1) I don't want to embarass my child when she starts school in September.
    2) I had her really late in life and want to live long enough to set her up to have a great life so she doesn't feel cheated.
    3) I want to enjoy retirement with a body capable of really enjoying a warm weather climate, swimming, gardening,etc.

    My Three reasons are :
    1. Me and partner want to start a family and I dont want to be a fat mum.
    2. I want to look my best for my Fiance at our wedding.
    3. I want to be able to run and be active without feeling like my heart is going to explode.

    I'm in .... I could really stand to lose 100 lbs currently at 253, I think, I don't even want to know what the scale says after my spring break visiting family
    My reasons are:
    1. Like what I see when I look in the mirror
    2. Be a good role model for my 2 year old daughter
    3. Get in shape and be healthier to prepare for my next pregnancy
    4. Look good naked

    I'm in too! I weigh 283 lbs, to get under 200 would be awesome! I have to admit that the thought of someone seeing my food diary is a little daunting. That's what accountability is all about, though. :)

    1. I have been journaling faithfully since 1/15/2015 and have lost a little over 20 pounds though my weight loss ticker doesn't show it. I joined MFP back in 2011 at 227 and started back this time at 272. I have been slowly working my way down through the weights that I have logged randomly over the years and not truly committed and that has been my motivation. So my first major goal is to get down to where I started the first time at 227.
    2. I want to have children, but due to the medications I am on the doctor has advised against it.
    3. I don't want to look like a whale next to my husband, he is my height and around 135

    I have the same fight with my ticker but it's motivating. I was down to 207 two years ago today. But pregnancy and a marriage shot me back up to 262. I'm excited to finally see a loss in my ticker even if I know I'm really down more than 4lbs

    Happy day 264 guys. I'm only 6oz of water in so far but my food has been logged and I opted for a morning fulfillment of my cookie addiction so my calories aren't so compounded at the end of the day.

    Open those diaries folks, sharing is amazing for inspiration and support

    I know I'm a few days late but I also want to join the "fun"!
    Reasons....
    1.) I don't want to feel exhausted trying to play with my son!
    2.) I don't want my bike tires to look flat when I'm riding on it! :\
    3.) I want to be able to run the bases while playing softball and not feel winded/on my death bed!
    I'm currently at 237, according to the BMI chart I should be around 125-130. I would like to get to 165 and see what happens. But more importantly, I want to be healthy, fit and feel great about myself! :)

    Your number 2 is awesome. I won't even get on a bike right now because of that.

    Add me. My reasons are
    1. Lose the pain in my knees so I can walk more.
    2. My daughter, I want to spend more time with her and walk on the beach like we used to.
    3. Overall health and attitude.

    I am currently at 328 and I don't like being the biggest here. I am 47 and finding it much, much harder to lose the weight, I often want to give up. I joined Feb 11 and have lost 7 lbs so far.

So I eat less when I'm there...any better tips would be appreciated!

    Too late to join the fun? Not sure how much I want to loose but between 80-100. My reasons? 1) be able to shop for clothes in the "regular" size woman's area. What the hell? Designers think that just because you are fat your taste goes to hell? I don't want to dress like a sofa. And cute shoes. My daughter keeps telling me I am too fat for some shoes. Like boots. I want boots
    2) better health of course , I want to breathe.
    3) I just want to feel beautiful again. I am 43 (today) and if I don't do this now it will just keep getting harder.

    Hi I just started on Thurday 3/18 - I would love to do this with you - I have no support system in place - I have managed to isolate myself completely a lot I think due to my weight - I want to lose 120lbs . Read my profile and you too will see that my body hurts and for this reason alone I need to lose weight - My name is Fran and I look forward to doing this now that I know there are other people out there with the same struggle

    My goals would be to want to shop for clothes again, as I hate it now - no how hard the designers try, big girl clothes are not flattering in style
    I would also like to start dating again - I have been divorced 12 years and although I have dated over the years, I think my weight now is an issue and I feel so unattractive that I won't even consider putting myself out there anymore
    I want to increase my energy level - I was always a go getter and on the move - have become so sedentary the last few years
