    I'm another 5'8 girl! I also want to lose about 70 lbs. Right now, I'm working hard to lose 30 lbs by the end of May, which is when I'm going on vacation to Mexico with my husband for our first anniversary.

    Good luck to everyone!!

    Just checking in to see how everyone is doing this week. After two weeks on the treadmill I saw a quick 4 lbs drop right away but no change lately! I'm starting to get bummed out!! I've decided not to climb on the scale until Friday morning, hoping to see it drop...even if its just one pound!!

    Hi
    I'm 5ft 8" and started on MFP 3 weeks ago and it has certainly opened my eyes to the calories I used to eat, also the water I never used to drink!

    I've lost 7lbs in that time and I'm thrilled! this time I feel determined and I have already received a ton of support from MFP friends, so much so that I actually think this time around I will succeed. I'm turning 40 in Feb and having a girly holiday in may to celebrate, so I have 16 weeks to lose a big chunk of my weight. the rest I'm hoping will go by my summer holiday in August.

    Anyone can feel free to add me, but if you want me to advise you and motivate you etc, please open your food diary. We all need ideas and we all want to help, but can't if we are left in the dark!

    Good luck to everyone. x

    Wow, this is great & I hope private! I'm always so embarrassed about weight issues and do my best to pretend it's not an issue. It's a total disconnect from brain and body, which has just gone too far now!
    I'm also 5' 8" and would like to lose about 70 pounds. What a group we are! I'm 34 yrs old and weighed in at 208 lbs today - the most I've ever weighed in my life. It's hardly conceivable. I'm hoping to get back to 140. I've been gaining about 5 pounds every year since I was 18. It's just been relentless.
    Today I had quite a health scare and need to go see a specialist this week. It feels crazy. If the health issue is really terrible they'll be nothing I can do about, but follow doctor's order. However, I feel like losing weight is something I have some control over.
    So, here it goes!
