I'd never comment on a woman's weight no matter how much she had lost unless I knew her really well.

It is a mixture of habit and cravings. I used to crave the fry up at breakfast break at work and takeaway straight after work and I used to call into service stations just for a handful of bars and packets of sweets after work when the blood sugars would be low. I think it takes some will power but also, eating more…

I'm trying to lose 157 lbs in total from my highest weight of 339 lbs in sept to 182 lbs hopefully by the end of next year. I'm down 20 lbs currently. My plan is to set minigoals. My current goal is to be 297lbs by Christmas eve losing 3 lbs a week, which I think is well do able without keeping to a crazy strict diet and 3…

Height 6' 0'' Age 34 Highest weight - 339 lbs (Mid Sept 2017) Current weight - 319 lbs Interim goal - 297 lbs by 24th Dec Long term goal - 182 lbs

I want to lose 3 lbs a week between now and Christmas eve. I lost 20 lbs in the last 7 weeks so just 1 lb behind target. I'm aiming for 297 lbs by Dec 24th!

Hey there, yeah I guess so. You probably develop an eye for it after a while.

I know, it's crazy how your mind can trick you! I normally estimate everything by eye but I'm going to get the scales out from now on! Big learning curve!

Hey, I'm more or less in the same boat! I have 150 odd lbs to lose from current 329. Add me if you want!

Thanks very much!

I'm newish to the community forum. I'm 34, from Ireland, 6ft 0in, 329 lbs hoping to get to 182lbs. Feel free to add me!

This is an absolutely amazing success story! Well done! All your hard work has paid off. Your story motivates me to do the same thing!

Well done and thanks for sharing your amazing success story. I am in similar shape to you when you started and I find it very difficult to get motivated. Your story has really helped though.

Thanks a million for telling your story. I find it really inspirational as I can really identify with where you started out. I am almost 22 stone (304 lbs) and I also live on junk food and am incredibly lazy! I'm going to do my best to change though!

Hey all, I'm 75% Irish, 25% Scottish.

I also have about 100 lbs to lose. I lost 70 lbs a few years ago and felt absolutely great but unfortunately I have put most of it on again. I think this idea of having a group of us supporting each other is a great idea. Everyone, feel free to add me as a friend! :smile:

Can't believe it's been 9 months since I posted this. I've been using the app on and off over the last nine months but unfortunately haven't used it consistantly so as a result, there isn't much change from back then. I'm going to give it a real go now though so hopefully I'll shart shedding a few pounds in the new year.…

Thanks for the reply japruzze, I am coming around to your way of thinking. It's just a matter of removing the idea that this is temporary and trying to think of it as a permanent lifestyle change. Easier said than done but I am determined to change. Thanks again and best of luck with your goal!

I'm new to this too, just started yesterday. Anyone who wishes, feel free to add me.
