    Hi there, sounds like I have a lot in common with all of you. 3 and half years ago my best friend/brother was killed in an oil rig accident and it has been very tough for me to deal with it. I am FINALLY getting back to my "normal" self but I am 100 pounds heavier and I am sooooo ready to get healthy and happy. I need this change for myself and my family. I have been working out and eating right since Jan 7th. I started out at 241 lbs and I am down 15 lbs and feeling great. Trying to make it to 140 lbs. Let's do this ladies because I know we all have many reasons to loose the weight and I know we all have the strength to get it off! ADD ME!!!!!!!!!!

    Feel free to add me...I started at 235 (at least that's what I was once I finally got on the scale), currently at 212.5....aiming for 130. That might change as I go and start to reshape might be higher, but either way a long way to go!

    If I'm really really honest....losing the weight has been easier than I ever made it out to be, but unfortunately I do a little self sabotage. You know gaining 3 lbs here and having to re-lose it all over again repeatedly. I pretty much just maintained the last two months of the year didn't really watch my calorie intake, so I should be a lot further along than I am. But I know that if you watch the calories and do the work the weight really does fall off. Trying to reign in my eating so that I can knock off these pounds sooner rather than later!

    I started at 220 and am down to 191. It's been slow, started in July, but it is consistent and I don't feel hungry all the time. My goal weight would be 180. Who knows, I may change that in a few months. Feel free to add me.

    Right there with you. I was at 283 and have lost a little over 5 lbs (not that much but every step counts). The first day is always the hardest (in my opinion) but I've been on my journey for almost a week and I feel good about the changes that I've made.

    I've been everything from 95 lb to 240 lbs at 5'4". I recently had a revelation. Losing weight isn't just about looking nice in cute clothes. There are real health concerns I had no idea about when I was big in my teens and twenties. Things start hurting you never knew existed. All of this can be reduced or avoided with proper diet and exercise. (that doesn't mean just being thin). Thinking about food like fuel instead of entertainment makes sense in terms of quality of life. I had a binge disorder for over 25 years. I finally get it! I'm at 150 lbs and still losing. I would love to get and give support for that last 25 lbs!

    Hey all! I started at exactly 220 lbs four minutes after midnight on New Year's Day, 2014. Currently at 147.6
    I'm always open to friend requests so long as you're in this for the long haul. Also, try to modulate your goal weight in consideration of your height, build, proportions, and age -don't get too wrapped up in the numbers!

    Almost the same. I'm not sure I'd aim as low as 130 -I'm 5 foot 7, and 50 years old - but I'm working my way to 150 & I've just passed the halfway point.
    When I get there I might aim for 140.
