My name is Sarah, and I've been steadily losing weight since my highest at 210 .lbs in October!
My starting weight: 210 .lbs
My current weight: 193 .lbs
My goal weight: 155 .lbs
My total loss: -17 .lbs in 3 months
My Goal: 2 pound loss per week
This goal will mean an optimistic 8 pound loss per month, so I SHOULD see that loss around June, or even earlier! FINGERS CROSSED!!

Hi, I'm Leesa. This is the most I've weighed since I was pregnant with my daughter in '07. I lost some after that, but steadily gained again during many life changes. 2016 is my year to take back control of my weight, my eating, my lifestyle!

My goal is definitely to lose 2lbs a week. Losing at this rate will get me down to my GW just in time for a weeklong course in Belgium and my birthday so there's lots of motivation.

Hi I'm Kay. 29 years old living in NY. I am currently 279 pounds this morning. I actually started my journey in August of 2015. I weighed in at over 330 lbs. My overall goal weight is 180. So a little under 100 pounds to go. I managed to get 50 pounds off from August to December of 2015 by working out AT LEAST 5 days a week 30 minutes a day. Keep my calories under what ever the mfp diary goals were. I count everything in my diary including sticks of gum lol. Looking to lose those 100 steady but surely with the 2 lbs per week. Good luck everyone
Starting weight:330+ (not sure)
Current weight : 279.8
Goal weight: 1800 -
I'm joining but find it hard to lose 2 lbs a week. I'm going to try like crazy though to come as close as possible. I will be 60 yrs. old Feb 10 and I am tired of carrying this weight the last almost 40 yrs.. I need to take it off and get off of the meds. I have 10 yrs. left the way I am or 20yrs. if I move my butt. I want to lose 60lbs by my 60th birthday and be 170 lbs the end of March when I go home to hubby. I should reach my goal weight I hope by Sept.
My starting weight: 240 .lbs
My current weight: 191.6 .lbs
My goal weight: 140 .lbs
My total loss: 48.4 lbs since August
My Goal: To get off of the meds.

Hi all - I'm Michelle. I've been on and off MFP for a couple of years. The first time through was amazing and I stayed very on course, and lost 88 pounds in 10 months. Some medical issues intervened and I found myself back up about 65 pounds, so I have tons and tons to lose.
But I know from personal experience that if I stay strong, I can DO this. So here I am. However - just as a heads up - I'll be out of town for the entire month of March and that's going to be difficult. I certainly won't be able to log in while we're on the road. But I'll be back in April, and back on the program.
I'd love to lose 2 pounds a week but am not sure that's feasible at this point.

Hello! My name is Tom. I will be 63 in March and weight not withstanding, am in pretty good health. I am determined to get back to my early years weight of 180. I have along way to go but think I am off to a good start. You all are inspirational and I like your enthusiasm about exercise, which I loath. As the only guy in this group, I am committed to succeed as I know how competitive you guys are!!
My original starting date of Oct 1, 2015

Hi @istarith thanks for starting this group. I was in the 20lb by 2016 group. This will be a nice continuation.
My name is Angela and so far I have lost over 80lbs. I saw a picture that disgusted me and my following check up with my doctor wasn't good. I originally set a goal of 110lbs by April my fitversary month. But I think my ultimate goal is going to be 140lbs loss. I don't know. It depends on what I look like when I get there.
Starting Date: April 12, 2015
SW: 286.9 lbs
CW: 203.1lbs
Total loss in 8/9 months 83.8lbs
I normally weigh in on Fridays but I will be weighing in 1 day early this week as I will see my doc tomorrow and I'm hoping to have medication decreased or taken away completely.0 -
Hi my name is Eileen I am 51 years old and have struggled with my weight my whole life. I have 4 beautiful children who are now either married, living on their own or in college. I need major motivation so I can hopefully get off blood pressure meds and be around for grandkids someday . ☺️. I have been successful several times before and have lost lots of weight only to lose focus and gain it plus some back. I need accountability.

CW 299.6

Thanks and hope to connect with you guys to help all of us stay motivated0 -
