So I'm looking to add folks that actually have a lot of weight to lose. If you look at my profile you'll see I'm a big girl trying to lose A LOT of weight. I know I said my goal weight is 150lbs, but according to BMI Index thats still too fat for someone my height.

I don't discount anyone's weight loss, don't get me wrong. That last 30lbs seems to be just as hard as the first from what I read. But I kinda need people that are going to stick around. I won't see the "home stretch" till probably 2-3 yrs from now. I would like people who are going to stick it out with me.

I don't think anyone here has 1.5 whole persons to lose, but I do so any encouragement to not throw my hands up in defeat is welcome lol.

I'm pretty pumped now, I just want to keep it going =D

    I've lost 47 and have 53 left to go, so I'll be here a while. And I imagine I'll stay on even after I hit goal. I love this site!

    I have about 30ush pounds to lose but I will be here for a WHILE so feel free to add me as well! I've got a wedding coming up in about 6 months, then we hope to try for another baby within the next year. Gaining 60 pounds during my first pregnancy is why I'm here in the first place so I want to make sure it doesn't happen again so I'll be here maintaining after I get to goal!

    Been here since July 2010, lost 76 pounds, and am about half way to my goal. I have been on a plateau for 5 months, so I will be here a while yet. Add me if you like.

    Just started in May and have lost a small 5th grade child (45 lbs) already but my goal is to lose about 3 to 4 more of them (at the very least). Friend me and we will get through this together.
