Hey everyone! I've been lurking for a while and posted for the first time in a long time yesterday.
I wanted to reach out again because I need to lose 70 lbs and wanted to see if anyone else has this much to lose :smiley:
It's been hard for me for a long time and I have done many diets along with binging in between. I am an avid skier and hiker in a body that is too big. I exercise (running and lifting right now) along with my outdoor activities, but I know everything I love to do will be easier if I'm not dragging an extra 50+lbs up and down mountains.

Just thought I'd reach out! Good work to everyone here working on their health!

    Good luck! I started losing in January at 73 pounds above normal BMI. I didn’t really start off with my goal to lose all of that, though - I figured I’d aim for ten percent of my body weight and see what happened. I’ve lost 33 lbs since then, just taking it slow and steady. Plenty of people here have lost that much or more, and many lose faster, but ultimately this is up to you. My current goals are to hit overweight BMI at the end of this year (10 lbs to go!) and make it to normal BMI by the end of next year. We’ll see how those last ten or twenty pounds go, though - I hear they can be a bear!

    I have 77.7lbs to go to my goal which feels so crap to say as I had lost loads and only had 39lbs to go until my thyroid messed up.
    On meds for that now though and the weight is slowly coming off again instead of going on and on and on lol
