    Hi Group I am Sarah

    My SW was somewhere between 200 and 220...I don't really honestly want to know
    My CW is 148 to 151
    My GW is 124 to 134

    I am 5'4" if I have stretched out well and recently been to the chiropractor otherwise I am 5'3 and 3/4.

    I spent my teen years as an anorexic. My 20s hit and my system did a horrible shut down. I gained from 115 to 210 in less than 6 mos. I gave up on me. Over the next 9 years I yo yoed and would get down to 160 and then go back up most consistently staying at 185. At 29 I learned I have a genetic condition and I need to be in good health to have a normal life span (save freak accidents and such) Since I want to be there for my son and maybe meet a grand kid I decided I really needed to get my butt in gear so here I am somewhere between 50 and 70 pounds down. Hoping to keep it off.

    Latest set back is I thought I had gotten down to 143 and I had like 10 lbs to go just to learn my ****ty scale has been broken for a long time. New digital scale with body fat measure and h20 measure and base caloric needs based off all that way better. This just means my starting weight was also wrong....SO SCARY to think I may have truly been closer to that 220 mark.

    Hi everybody.
    My name is Sabine and I am 40 years old.
    Starting weight 222 lbs
    Current weight 150 lbs
    Target weight 150 lbs
    In the past 12 years my weight has been from 150 all the way to 222 lbs at my heaviest.
    I lost the weight 11 years ago, was at 160. Was left with 30 extra pounds after getting pregnant. Tried to quit smoking which gave me another 20 lbs increase. Started smoking again. Quit smoking 2 years ago and gained the rest. Had to loose weight due to starting hip and joint problems. Right now I am fighting with maintaining. I just lost 2 lbs again that I gained due to my loving of peanut butter.

    hI- I'm Pam and am just now registering as being overweight which is new and very frustrating to me. at 146 and 5'4" nothing fits and I really dont want to buy new clothes! Per BMI, I need to weigh closer to 120-my goal- 125
    I am a stress eater and have been able to keep my weight down previously with exercise, but find it harder to find time to exercise.
    I am also 50+ and menopause has changed everything! :grumble:
