I notice a lot of people here are just looking to lose 20 lbs. I'm looking to lose much more than that and I'd like to meet people who suffer from obesity and are trying to turn it around like me.

    Well I have to lose 68lbs to be healthy. I am obese. I understand for some people 68lbs might not be a lot, but for others it might be loads. Vi0l33t, would it be rude to ask how much you want to lose?

    I am considered obese. I am only 5'1" and weigh in at 201 lbs. I have a lot to lose to get down to 115 lbs (what I was at age 19) but I would be happy at 128-130 (what I was all through high school)

    Hey! I'm looking to lose about 50-60 pounds, but I've already lost 20. Technically I was in the obese category because I'm only 5'4, but I never felt like it until I saw an awful picture of myself on vacation. Friend me if you like! Good luck!

    How much are you hoping to lose? That will help us know what you are looking for.

    I started at 330lbs and am now at 297. I've been doing this for 17 weeks. I am hoping to reach 147lbs.

    For me 20 pounds won't make much difference I am striving to lose at least 100 pounds. I am in the same situation.

    I need to lose 50lbs at least to get into any kind of a fit sort of zone - it's harder as the years go on and I have issues that make excercise difficult, but I need to do this. My daughter-in-law told me about this site/app, and I have to say, it's already giving me confidence that i can do this, after 3 days (not that I've even looked at a scales) to be part of a group that are all in the same boat, no matter what the whys and wherefores

    Hi! I'm 5'9" and weigh 303. My doctor says I "should" be at 150. Um....the last time I was at 150 was probably in the fourth grade!! If I can get back down to 170....the lowest I got while in college...I'd be happy:).

    I am at 182 lbs at 5'7 and my goal is to get to 160 lbs so I need to lose 22 lbs right now. I am really kicking it into gear lately cause my gynecologist said he wants me to lose weight before I can get pregnant. He told me my motivation should be for the baby I will have in the future. After I get to 160 lbs I want to lose 10 lbs to get to 150 lbs but 160 lbs is what I am focusing on right now. Don't lose Hope in what you want!
