    Count me in on this. I am have a B'day in May, I saw lot's of us have "May" goals. But my goal in for June 30th - I want to hit 190.

    HSW: 258
    Current SW - 237.8 (15th Jan)
    Challenge SW: 226
    Goals:
    1) getting down - 215 - will want to go clothes shopping (I hope to be down a size)
    2) get below 200, like 190-195 (so on fluctuation day I never see the 2 again)
    3) set new goals. -> another 50 or so to go I guess.

    It's slow and steady right now. I want it to stay that way. I think I can hit my goals by middle of this year - but I am nervous my current progress will slow down.

    I am taking it one day at a time - so thanks for all the inspirational stories, and all the support.

    20/02 - 226.0 lbs (Challenge Start)
    27/02 - 223.8 lbs (Week 1 loss -2.2lbs)
    07/03 - 221.6 lbs (Week 2 loss -2.2lbs)
    13/03 - 221.0 lbs (Week 3 loss - 0.6lbs)
    20/03 - 218.4 lbs (Week 4 loss - 2.6lbs)

    Challenge loss so far (4 weeks) -7.6 lbs :smiley:

    I'm back again. I don't have a scale right now but I was sitting at around 240 last time I checked. If I could get below 200 I'd be thrilled but I should really be somewhere closer to 180 at the most.

    Hi all. Newish would love more support. Started 21 days ago at 275. Currently at 268. Initial goal is 220 then would like to get to 180. Add me if you want! Had a rough day. How do you ladies get through that time of the month and the urge to binge eat

    I am only 5 feet tall and I am pear shaped, I carry all my weight on my lower half.

    So, I started with a 65 lb weight loss goal, now down to 59 lbs! I would love to connect with people looking to lose a similar amount. We can do this!

    Started my lifestyle change 5 weeks ago. Weighed in at 233. My weigh in today was 227. Daily goal is to be true to myself with what I’m putting in my body and to keep track of my activity. .. trying to be better than the person I was yesterday. Weekly goal to stick to the 1 pound weight loss at a minimal. Bottom line weight goal is 150. Set up a countdown with a realistic ticking clock to help me remember that what I’m doing today may not be apparent in the morning or always show on the scale as my body changes, but it’s a long term change. I didn’t get to this point overnight or in a month, I will certainly not reverse it that fast

    What a month March has been for me!

    I've had another amazing week. I lost another 4.4 pounds, to bring me to a total of 75 pounds lost!

    I have to admit, though, that I'm starting to feel the strain of the extended deficits and hard game. I'm giving things one more week, and then will be doing a structured maintenance break for April and the beginning of May.

    I am 39 years old and want to be within a healthy BMI by my 40th bday in January 2019. I would love some friends around my age / weight with similar goals so we can encourage each other. Feel free to add me! :smile:

    That's definitely me. I've lost 30 lbs and just quit. I didn't put it back on but I still have another 40-50 to lose. Just started back with tracking my food and going to the gym 3-4 times a week. I know this works, it's just hard to stay motivated sometimes. I'll send you a friend request

    I made it up to 253 in my last pregnancy. I walked into L&D on Halloween 2016 weighing that much. I dropped to 177 on weight watchers but we moved and I fell off the wagon and gained. I'm 193 as of this morning. I have a goal to hit 169 by my sisters high school graduation at the end of May. My overall goal is 120. I'm 4'11"

    Currently 232 lbs
    Short term Goal 200 by my bday in May
    Final Goal 165 lbs

    Your goals are almost the same as mine! Same starting weight, but I decided I'd be happy to reach 170 :) My first goal is July 1st as I am flying to Nova Scotia with my mom. I want to be down a noticeable amount as I hate squishing into airline seats.

    If I worked VERY hard, I could be at 180lbs by my birthday in late September.

    Hi! It’s been a while since you posted but I hope you’re still active... :) I didn’t weigh myself for a couple of months and I have gained weight... this is the most I’ve ever weighed and I am ready to really work on myself and lose it... I weighed nearly 270 but have lost a couple pounds since I started tracking calories and exercising almost every day! It has been 2 weeks and now I am 260. I will be so happy when I am less than 200 and even happier when I reach my goal weight of 175... hope we can talk and support each other!!

    Would like to hit below 200 and go from there. Right now, I'm down 10.4 pounds and doing small goals of 10 pounds at a time. Got a little sloppy a few days this week and need to get back to doing it right. I love tracking, have learned to drink water (the fizzy, flavored, zero calorie ones) and am so proud of myself for what I have done so far. Could use some support from others that have similar goals and amount of weight to lose! Going to Vegas in June and have plans of wearing a dress at least once! Haven't worn a dress in years and always want to be able to wear the cute summer ones...but I never do because of my weight! Already bought one and am excited to be able to wear it and not feel like a frump!!

    We’re looking at the same goals I just went under 200. I’m hoping to be be 160 by my 50th in September
