haha, that was sad. I would like to find some people here that will help me be accountable and maybe around the same stats. I started at 244 and am now 216 (I got down to 197 but whoops) I am also 5'7". My goal is to be at 144. I am also a fulltime student, a mommy to a 2 yo, and I work pt sitting on my bum while killing time on here :) feel free to ask me any other questions.

    I'm a Jessica too and it sounds like we are about the same height and working towards a similar goal, add me if you want.

    Hi Jessica....I am also 5'7" and my goal is 150. At my heaviest I was 283. I lost 126lbs a few years back and eventually ended up back at 249. Now at 231 I am struggling to get back. I will make it and so will you! Feel free to add me if you like :)

    Ugh, I know I can do it. I have lost 50lbs before and got down to the 150s...then 60 months later I got pregnant and gained it all plus some. It looks like a lot of you are newlyweds or engaged. I'm hoping to be at goal for my wedding next October.

    I'll be your friend and support. I am almost at my goal weight. I have about 20 lbs. to go. I started out at 212 back in April of this year. I am 5ft. 2 1/2 in tall. and those extra 80 lbs. just make me look like the Pillsbury Dough Boy. I have since as of today lost 58 lbs. I was a size 18 - 20 and now am in a size 11/12. Since starting this venture I have educated myself and have fallen in love with health and nutrtion and exercersise.

    I am a mother of 4 . My 3 oldest are adults and on their own, my youngest just turned 13. After years of working I am finally able to be a stay at home mom which i love. I have 4 grandchildren with the 5th due in Feb. 2012.

    Good Luck! You can do it. I'll help you. If you have any questions about anything ask and I'll try and give you the best answer possible. You can also find me on facebook as Carla Curtis located in Herriman,Ut.
