    I'm 2 pounds shy of my total loss of 70 pounds. It's taken me about 18 months to lose. I still have 30 pounds to go. It's hard work, but it's worth it for your health!! You add me for support.

    I have almost the same goals!! Im around 5'3, and my highest was 188 recently. Now I am at 177, with a goal weight of 120. Sounds like we both have a long way to go, but we can do it :)

    I too am 5'3" and in order to have a healthy BMI according to standards I needed to lose 108 lbs. I would be happy with 78 lbs! I have currently lost 23 lbs and I started Aug. 25th, 2011! Get lot's of supportive and motivated friends it really helps! I also have my diary open to friends and log everything...even bad days, it is a real eye opener!

So I am not similar but if you want support I am totally cool with more friends :) btw my goal was 80lbs in 1year. I will totally hit it before as I have almost lost 70 and I am on month 9.

    5'4" weigh 256lbs I have lost 13lbs since June!! My goal is to be 175lbs in 40 weeks! tracking my food keeps me going never realized how many calories are in some food I enjoy eating. I can try to be support for you. My dietician says 2lbs a week is a healthy weight loss otherwise it is possible to put the weight back on quickly.

    wow, thanks for the fantastic response! we can all do this together... maybe it is worth making a closed group for those with about 70 lbs to lose, if anyone knows how to do fancy technical things like that?

    I started healthy eating after my holiday in August as I was 252lbs. My set my goal weight at 170lbs so I had 82 lbs to lose and now I have 47lb to go. It get easier over time. I found the first few weeks the hardest as it was a change of eating habits. But once I was over that hurdle, its been easier to choose which foods that are better for me. This site is briliant for keeping you focused and with lots of encouragement from others, it will help you alot.

    We have similar goals :) I want to lose 80 pounds by next July. I'm currently 252 pounds (and 5'11"), I would love to be 170 by July, which would make me about a size 12 and very very happy!

    Friend me if you like!
