    I want to lose this weight to be able to go shopping with my friends and normal stores, to fit into the few clothes I couldnt part with when they didnt fit. But my number one reason to get this weight off is so me and my amazing husband can start a family very soon. I am very ready for a baby and I need to get healthy before that can happen and stay healthy.

    I want and need to lose weight for my overall health, beauty and mental state of mind. I am sick of being the big girl in the back! I am sick of being tired all the time! I am sick of my mom say oh God your getting fat!

    Oh and my starting weight is 264.1 (as of yesterday) down 3.9 since joining MFP YeY Me!

    Good morning everyone! I think that it all sounds great. Fridays are a great day to weigh in. My current weight is 245. I want to lose weight because I worry for my health if I don't. I was calculating one day where I would be if every year was like this year for my weight gain. I realized that if I change nothing, I will be over 400 lbs. by the time I am 40. It's time to start the changes now while I am young so that I can avoid years of my life being lost. I also want more freedom and options. Fat limits you and I want to be unlimited.

    The plan sounds great! My only suggestion is to just do the same thread everyweek. So start the Lucky #13 and have that be the same thread the whole time, I have been part of group that tried to do a different thread everyweek and it got hard if you wanted to go back and read something like a inspirational story recipe or what not to find what week the thread was under. And that way if you are out of town we dont have to worry about starting a new thread we can just continue from where we are. That is just my suggestion and knowledge of being in groups.

    I have another suggestion so since our weighs in dont start till next friday i think we should have a mini goal untl friday comes. Please let me know what you guys think, So i think we should do a water goal. Water is such an important part in losing weight so I challenge all of you this week so today-thursday to make sure you are getting at least your 64oz of water everyday!!

    Oh yah my starting weight for today is 275. Lets do this group! #13!

    This is a great idea Lindsay! I am all for that. I will get it going on Sunday, I am hoping to hear from everyone by then... Oh and for those of you wondering - my starting weight was 293, lost 6 lbs so now I am at 287.

    I just have to tell you all, I keep refreshing this and it makes me very happy to see all the comments.

    <<<<<<<<<<< DORK:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I want to lose weight because I have been overweight for as far back as I can remember. I have PCOS as well as hashimoto's thyroiditis. Pretty much, my hormones are off balance and I have an underactive thyroid. Two wonderful things working AGAINST me :angry: I have been telling myself for a long time I need to do something about it but I am ready now. I have a fabulous boyfriend and we hope to be married someday. I want to be able to go into any bridal store and look at whatever freaking dress I want, not only those in the plus size section. I also want to be more healthy and empower myself. I hope you all will be with me through this journey. :glasses:

    The group sounds great! I'm still trying to figure out how to find our group thread though. I haven't been highly active on the boards, so any help with this would be great.

    My starting weight on July 5th, was 380 lbs. I have lost 12.5 lbs. to date, so I am currently weighing in at 377.5.

    I want to lose weight because it's the right thing to do. I have been fat as long as I can remember. I was the tall, fat girl that all the boys were afraid of. I've tried so many things, but the weight just kept on packing on.
    In January 2008, I found out that I have Hashimoto's Disease (non-functioning thyroid) and that most of my weight could probably be attributed to that. They took me off birth control to test m medications and 2 months later, I found out I was pregnant. :) Fast forward almost 3 years and I have a beautiful 2.75 year old ;) who needs her momma to be an example for her.
    I finally got motivated to lose weight this time because my sister is getting married on Thanksgiving weekend, about 4 months from now. She would like me to sing during their ceremony. I've been in 2 weddings already and was the fattest bridesmaid at both. I want to enjoy this wedding and surprise all the family and friends that attend with a "new me" or at least the beginning of the new me. :)

    Hi my name is Dianne

    I want to loose weight for lots of reasons but I suppose the main thing is to be able to do more things with my children. I used to be so happy and got invited everywhere, I am now the one that always turns down invitations to go anywhere. Clothes shopping is a constant dread.

    Since starting my diet 11 weeks ago and joining MFP I have lost 33lb. I currently weigh 266lbs as of this morning (Friday 22 July)

    Living in England may make me respond to posts a little late but I will try and keep up.

    This is definitely part of my reason to lose weight, I just want to be happy with myself. I'm so sick of recoiling in horror every time I look in the mirror & I'm sick of being the fat friend. I get verbally harassed on a weekly, if not daily, basis & I'd like to be able to stand out for all the right reasons.

    My other main reason is clothes, I adore clothes. Shopping is my favourite hobby! Being able to wear what I want & shop wherever I want will be a dream come true.

    I love all of the ideas so far. I can't wait to get to know you all better & see what happens with the weigh in. Good luck, lovelies! x

    Hello all my name is Arlene I am a 34 year old from Northeastern PA. I found MFP last October and since August of 2010 I lave lost 98 pounds. I started dieting at about 320. Mind you I am only 5'1 so that's a lot of extra weight to lose. I look forward to talking with you all.

    My name is Mirna. I'm 38 yrs old and I have a wonderful, smart and funny 7 yr old son named Tien.

    Why I want to lose weight? As long as I can remember I have always been on the chunky and fat side. I think the last time I was slim was around 7 or 8 yrs old. In 2006 I was diagnosed as a diabetic and while I have tried to lose weight I have not stuck with it.

    I'm more than ever to get into a healthy weight range and be able to do things that mentally and physically I'm unable to do.
