    I'm right there with you... 31, 5'5, 232... I'm hoping to lose btwn 80-90 lbs overall (started arnd 235), but I am measuring by smaller goals so it's not so intimidating. My current goal is lose 10 lbs by Valentine's Day. I'm trying to pick "mile markers" each month, for example Feb has Valentine's day, March is my daughter's bday, April Spring Break, etc... I'm hoping that works for me and keeps me from getting too overwhelmed... Feel free to add me!

    Count me in. I'm 5'10" and was at 272.8 just after New Years and have lost almost 7 and joined a gym this week.

    I've gained so much in the last two years from depression / emotional eating. Very long story. Looking forward to losing with all of you.

    Hi, I also would like to be added to this group. I am 53, 5'2'' and weigh 231. I also think we should break it down. My big goal is 30 lbs. by May 30th. But I am working in 10 lbs. increments. I have been wanting to purchase a Kindle Fire, so I have put that as my 10lb lost gift to myself. I have been using MFP for quite awhile but I just used the phone app. so I did not realize what a community support it has.

    I am on the journey with you! The day I gave birth to my daughter (who is now 3) I weighed 376 lbs. I now weigh 258lbs (at 5'10"). I have been 280 as long as I can remember! I think I finally got this weigh loss thing down.. only took my entire 25 yr life!

    jaks97---I have simply watched my calories and logged every bite I eat. When I started this I couldn't walk for more than 5-10min without having to stop and I wasn't even walking 2mph. I walk on a regular basis and can walk 4+miles at a 3-4mph rate. I dance and sometimes workout to some exercise dvd's I have. Tomorrow I am going to begin a mother/daughter gym membership and will begin with cardio and water aerobics. (and who know's maybe some weights)

    I try not to think about how far I have to go as sometimes I can feel overwhealmed (sp). I look back on how far I've come and focus on my weight left to lose in 10lb increments.

    I do try to make healthier choices on what I eat and don't eat out as much. But still eat out and sometimes eat junk food. I don't want this to be a diet I'll do for awhile and quit. (Been there, done that! And always gained back more than I'd lost) I want this to be a way of life for me...so it has to be something I can see myself doing long term.

    Might not be a perfect plan, but it's mine and is subject to change as the need arises!

    I am 29 almost 30 and I am 6'0 and currently 276. I started my journey back on November 1st at 302. I have lost 26 pounds so far. My goal is to get down to 220. I can't see myself weighing less than 210. I have a large frame and it just wouldn't look right on me. I like to share my successes and learn others.
