Not really new, but first time posting...

I've been a member since September and to be honest I haven't managed to lose that much weight, infact the 19lbs or so I have lost have been since January. But anyway, this is my first time posting just because I really need some support and motivation from people who are in the same situation. My heaviest weight was somewhere around 266lbs (19 stone), although it could have been more - I didn't really want to face the scales. Ideally I would like to get down to about 140lbs (10 stone), depending on how I look and feel. At the moment I weigh 248lbs (17 stone 10lbs,) so I am getting there. I was doing really well with my new diet in January (I got down to 242lbs) until I went to see a doctor about an unrelated condition, he was SUCH a complete and utter *kitten* who completely disregarded the 25lbs or so I'd lost at that point and was determined to drill into me that I'll be "dead by the time I'm 30," even though I insisted I was quite obviously losing weight. The appointment with him completely threw me off track and I went back up to 252lbs, which was really de-motivating. I've just got back on track although unfortunately I do have a follow up appointment with him in just under a month and I really want to get back under 242lbs just to rub it in his arrogant face and tell him where to stick it.
Anyway, I would like to lose around 2lbs per week which hopefully means I'll hit my target in a year or so, which sounds like a long time although I joined about 6 months ago (which really doesn't seem that long) so I could already be half way there by now But hopefully it'll come round quickly; it always does.
