    Hi there! I'm 23, started close to 300 (before I made this account), and after a long time and a lot of effort am down to 205. I still want to lose at least 50 more pounds. Good luck :)

    I am 29 and am 280 lbs. I would like to lose around 150 lbs (that's my long long term goal).

    I've done this weight loss thing before and lost about 50 lbs, back in August - November of 2012. I entered a new relationship at the beginning of 2013, and things went down hill. I've gained all the weight back, plus some. I decided on Wednesday that I'm going to start again. This time, thought, I figured I had better do more than lurk around this message board. The support and accountability might help me!

    Anyone, please feel free to add me.

    This sounds a lot like me! I'm 27 and started at 275 pounds.

    I also did the weight loss thing before (starting at 255lbs) and lost 25lbs, then gained it back and more when I got in a relationship in 2012. I got to my highest weight of 275 when my guy proposed in Oct. of last year...and so I decided to lose weight so I was at least the weight I was when we started dating...

    My goal is to get down to 160 overall... and then judge on what I think at the point. (This won't happen before the wedding in October, I know that, but I'll be closer!)

    I've lost about 22 lbs so far, weighing in this morning at 252lbs. :smiley:

    I'm 27 and started out at 260. Over the past year I have lost 55 pounds, but since the holidays I have been stuck and lacking motivation. I think more support and accountability is what I need to lose the last 50-60 pounds. Feel free to add me!!

    I'm 25, weigh 250.8lbs at the moment...started at 261 lbs. Goal weight is in the healthy BMI range of 130-140 so definitely over 100 lbs to go!!!

    Hi! currently 27, and my current goal is to lose a total of about 75-80 pounds - mostly because I don't even know how to imagine myself lower than my current goal weight. Of course, I will likely reevaluate my goals once I 'get there' but happy to have more active and excited friends! :smiley:

    Height: 5'6.5ish
    SW: 245ish
    CW:209ish
    GW: 170ish...and then we will see!

    Hi, new here :)

    I'm 26, I started my weight loss journey (again!) on 1/1/14 at 25st 5.9lbs (355.9lbs). My target is 13st 0lbs (182lbs). I've lost 6st 0.1lbs (84.1lbs) so far. I'm hoping that tomorrow's weigh in will see me reach my halfway point :)
