Hi I am new here, I am looking for support to help keep me motivated. Weight has been a battle most of my life, I started gaining at 12 and now I am 30. I Started at 365, I weighed in this morning at 315. I am so happy about 50lbs so far! I still have 175 to go though, so its gonna be a long journey, but I think I can do it. I am calorie counting and trying to exercise and hour 5 times week. My Short term goal is to be out of the 300's. My long term goal for this year, I want to loose 10pounds a month. Which would put me at 195 This time next year.

  • Hi,

    I'm Dee and I just joined. I weigh 301 today and would like to get down to 145. I have 2 close friends that are going to try to support me and keep me focused. However, they are both thin already. I would really welcome comments and suggestions from people who are either starting their weight loss or have begun their journey to help keep me going! Thanks so much!

    You should be thrilled with your work so far. I'm 322 myself, and I know how long this journey is going to be. I'm going to be glad to be friends with you!

    Hello all,
    I am Trish and I am currently at 322. I also lost a little over 50# since last August with the help of the lap band. My goal is to be at 299 by Valentines Day. Ultimately I want to be between 160-175. I would be very healthy at that weight.
  • YOU CAN DO IT!

    And if I can help in any way, let me know! Yep the journey is long, but you are so worth it and so is what you will discover about yourself along the journey. Here's to what you will accomplish in 2012!
