I'm the one who got me to where I am and I take full responsibility for it.

I lost 18 lbs since June and the only thing I have been doing is walking, well eating better too! I found walking to be a good stress reliever! :) I was like you and used to run but all the extra weight just won't let me without being in to much pain. We well get there again some day :)

Feel free to add me!! :)

thats awesome!! I'm 4 lbs away from reaching that same milestone! :) and yes MFP definitely helps!! As well as all the wonderful people :

you look awesome!! I've been where you are...with each lb lost I can feel my confidence coming back more and more! :) Great job and keep it up!! :)

Its very good! With a diet change and walking only I have lost 14 lbs since June 3rd. Its easy on the joints and can get your heart pumping :)

I'm in...is there a group for this?

I'm 5'5" and my goal weight is 165. I was comfortable at that weight before but will see how I feel once I get there. Might recalc and go to 150. :) good luck with your goals everyone!

I lost a bald eagle too! :)

who cares what they think? Its your body and you can set your goal at whatever you feel may make you feel most comfortable. If you get to your goal and still don't feel comfortable in your own skin then try for a little lower. I'm also 5'5, started at 247 and my goal weight is 165 simply because I was there once and I…

After my 1 month mark and losing 12 lbs. I could feel it in my clothes but didn't think anybody noticed until they start telling me they could. :)

WAY TO GO!!! That is awesome to hear!!!

That is great! I snore and I'm so embarrassed by it :( I know mine is caused by weight gain over the years and I hope to be where you are someday! :) awesome job!

feel free to add me!! the more friends and support the better! :)

Thanks every!! Just realized a typo in the heading that I can't change. It's supposed to be 12 lbs...but I'll take care of that 1 lb this week! :)

I'm 5'5 and currently weight 239. My goal weight is between 160-170. I also found the same ideal weights as you did but they don't really seem to realistic for me and I guess they won't unless I get there and decide for myself. I weighed 165 when I was in high school and was extremely comfortable at that weight.(of course…

thats awesome!! I also want to be in shape by my 30th which isn't til January of next year!! I didn't get really serious until June 1st but have since lost 8 pounds...can't wait to get to onederland!! :) again great job!!

that is AWESOME!!! How tall are you?? I had the exact starting weight as you did...great job. I know what how you feel about sweet tea also, that was my weakness :) What type of exercises are you doing if I may ask?

Awesome job!!! hope to be where you are someday!! :)

That's awesome!! Great job!! I can't wait for that day! :)

I'm totally an emotional eater :( It is what go me to where I am sadly. I also have issues with depression so that just adds to it :/ lately though I have been finding that the more I workout the better I feel and the less I eat because I don't feel like I have to eat all the time. I would love to join the support group on…

I'm in!!!!

Thats it awesome!!! Congrats!

I'm on day 11 of the crunch challenge and I can definitely feel it...can't see much tho because I have some weight to lose. Good luck!!

Thats awesome!! Do you mind me asking your height and starting weight? I just started my journey on Mothers day after I had somewhat of a breakdown :( You truly are an inspiration to me as well as many others!! Keep up the great work!!

I will start on the 1st of next month! A little excited to see the results :)

so needed to hear this!! Thanks!!

Ok thanks everyone! I don't have any health issues so thats a good thing. :)

GREAT JOB!! :) My weight and goals are the same as yours...although I'm a bit shorter at 5'5" :/ keep up the good work!! a lil longer and you'll be there!!!

Awesome!! That's good news!! I know what you mean! My fiancé has dealt with it the past six years but in that time I have gained weight and it has gotten much worse :( it's very embarrassing and I'm always hoping I don't fall asleep anywhere else :/ I can't wait to get to where you are! I've also had my nose broken more…
