    I've lost 87 so far. Started in March 2010. I took it slow. Made small changes and didn't try to overwhelm myself with all kinds of restrictions all at once. It's the best thing I have ever done for myself :)

    21 Pounds into it! Keep your chin up and work hard... its sooo worth it when someone looks at you and says "Oh my, you've lost weight!" and you know they actually mean it!

    started at 252 in the summer, down 79 pounds, 21 more to go.

    treat yourself now and again. take pictures every 10 or so pounds.

    keep going. and going and going.

    when you want to eat and know you shouldn't, exercise. even if it is just walking. or stairs. or wii games!

    friend me if ya wanna :-)

    I'm pretty close to you with 70 to loose for my overall goal and 80 to be considered "normal" by that pesky BMI (that I don't really believe in) ... Down 9lbs so far.... Keep at it! We can do it!

    My goal when I started last March 2011 was to lost about 80-85 pounds. This number keeps going up as I get closer to the goal. I am up to 63 pounds lost....have about 15-20 to go. It started out great...was losing about 1-2 pounds each week...and then life got in the way...things got busy...but if you do it the right way by working out and eating healthy, you don't gain back weight (when you take a break from it all)...now I am back on it again trying to lose the last bit of pounds. The road is not smooth, but if you use the support on MFP and take it one day at a time, you'll get to your goal. Feel free to add me as a friend :-)
