    I could stand to lose 80lbs and way more on top of that. I hope to at least lose 20... lets start there LOL As my screensaver i have this quote "If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse" I see it every day and it makes me mad LOL I want to take it done and quit but then I would be admitting defeat. I am 32 and when I started here I weighed almost 310. I am now down to 300 in less 12 days. That little saying is my best friend on days like today. I am trying to be positive for everyone else in hopes that someone will be positive for me :)

    I'm right there with ya!! I will be 30 this November. My goal is to get under 200 pounds by my birthday. My ultimate goal is to get down to 160-170 pounds. I started this journey on the first of the year weighing 256.4. I am currently down 4 pounds, but it's a start. Nice to meet you and good luck!!

    New member here! Should lose about 80 lbs (to get in "healthy" BMI range). My goal is to get under 200 lbs by my birthday in May just like maof5 :) I started out at 243, and am down to right around 230 after a month of putting in work at the gym and changing eating habits. Glad to find a community of likeminded people here, and looking forward to finding out more about this site and keeping each other motivated! :)

    Hi there,

    My name is Hillary I myself and trying to lose 110 pounds. I am new at this so any advise would be great. As I go I can send you info on things that help me. Right now I am just counting the calories and playing the X-Box Kinect "Black-eyed Peas Edition", it's a fun dance game. I find it fun and it burns tons of calories. Well good luck to you all, and hope to hear back from you all soon.

    YOU CAN DO IT! It seems like such a huge amount when you are starting out, but you can do it! I weighed 230 on Christmas of last year and I'm currently at 149, working to 135. You should cut it down into smaller sections so you aren't so overwhelmed. Good luck!!! Just take it day by day.

    I started on Jan 3 of this year to try & lose 100 lbs. I'm 51 years old , 5'10" and my starting weight was 268 lbs. I've lost 8 lbs so far. I think Kaitee24 is right about cutting it down to smaller sections. I decided I'd set a 10 lb goal each time and keep working from there so it didn't seem so overwhelming.

    I am. I am 5'4" and almost 260 lbs. That hurts soooo much to just to say it. Hopefully with time and motivation I will lose this weight slowly. No fad diets, just exercise and eating right. No Excuses.
