5'9 - 245-250lbs i wear 16 but can wear some 14. I prefer long jeans. So I buy Longs or talls whenever possible.

I am 5`9 and my goal weight currently is to get to 229 (pre-prego weight) and then probably 200 and ultimately 165-175 range (i don't remember EVER being that low, ever). I started my journey in August 2009 at 343lbs. I currently am at 245-250 range. I work my tail off these days just trying to get back to were I was in…

My husband and I met on True.com. We have been together for going on 7 years and married for almost 4 of those 7. We have a beautiful family (he has two kids from a prior marriage and we have one together). I don't think that online relationships are as out of the norm as they used to be. No reason to hide or deny what the…

252 as of 12/14/12 - wanting to lose about 90lbs. Working hard every day :) Some days though, need to be me days. Add me if you want a friend who knows what it is all about.

According to the BMI scale, I would need to be 159-169 but I am aiming for 175 in the end. I haven't been under 200 in about 15 years and would really like just to see 199 on my scale too. Ultimate goal: 175 or less. Current goal: 230 (my pre-prego weight). Current weight: 247-250 (varies on day).

I would like to be a Criminal Investigation Special Agent for the IRS (white collar crimes - fraud, money laundering, etc). I

My hubby and I have been together for six years and married for three. We spilt all the bills 50/50 and keep our regular paychecks separate but do combine our refund from taxes into a savings account. All of our bank accounts are joint, but separate in the same means. We each have two checking accounts and one combined…

Ok, personally these kinds of forums get offensive/defensive. I had a gastric bypass in 2009. Through having the surgery i lost 114lbs. i gained 37 lbs back due to pregnancy in 2011. I now am down 17lbs of those 37lbs and the only thing surgery is helping me with now is eating less than what i used to be able to. I used to…

Plastic Surgery (tummy tuck, arm lift, boob job, etc). New Wardrobe Angel Wings Tattooed on my back. Belly button piercing And other small rewards along the way :)

I work out on my lunch hour during the work week and my gym has a daycare that i could take my 3 kids (9, 6, & 11mns) to when I go on the weekend.

I'm in. I already have 2 miles in from yesterday's gym time :) but im only in for 30 miles.

I use NuvaRing - you put it in and leave it for 3 weeks, take it out for 1 week and repeat. I haven't found the cravings that I would get when i was on the pill. I have heard that a lot of people gain weight with the shot. I gained weight on the pill but haven't had any weight gain with NuvaRing.

I have lost almost 100lbs from my top weight. Yes, there is sagging skin and deflated boobs, however we are young enough that there should still be some elasticity in your skin that it should bounce back. I know some of mine has, especially with weight training and cardio exercising.

So before this posting i didn't know what a moon cup was but like another poster I Googled it. I use NuvaRing and love that I don't have to take a pill everyday -- i take enough pill with the amount of vitamins i have to take since having gastric bypass. I love NuvaRing. I had been on OrthoTriCyclin but it made me hungry…

That is actually a very good idea. I might have to try that once I get back to work.

I completely understand where you are coming from. My hubby complains that I have a gym membership and then when i want to go to the gym (which means he would need to watch the kids -- there is an 8 yr old, a 5 yr old and a 2 month old) he complains about that too. I haven't been able to make it to the gym because of this…

SW as of 10/28: 241.6 lbs Goal for November: 235 lbs (6.6lbs total) Self-Challenge: Walk at least 3 times a week with my baby and step kids after work before it gets dark

What's your secret? Great Job!

I just had my baby on Sept 7, 2011 and I am slowly starting to get this weight off -- still healing from child birth but walking will be my best friend for the next few weeks. Feel free to friend me :)

Well i had my baby girl on 9/7/11 and am currently down to 244 from 265. So I am well on my way to get to 229 (prepregnancy weight) and lower. I am currently just walking a lot with my baby and doing lots of laundry/light house work. I am also semi-nursing/pumping which requires lots of energy.

I will be once I have my baby (Due Thursday -- Sept 1)....

I am due on 9/1/11. This is my first pregnancy. I don't know the sex of the baby yet, but get to find out at my baby shower --- mind you everyone else in my family knows. This was the deal I made with my sisters since I wanted to find out what the sex was and they didn't want me to. I made the deal that I would wait until…

It is something Dr. Phil is pushing. Its a diet that changes every 17 days and there are 4 phases.

Thank you all for answering some of my questions. I will talk it over more with my doctore especially about nutrition. You are all very insightful and I hope that this pregnancy will be a joyful one. Thanks again. Can't wait for my first appt! I am excited.

My husband and I just found out the day after Christmas that we are expecting our first child together - he has two children that i claim as my own from his previous marriage. That would put me at about 5 weeks along. We had it confirmed at the doctor's office that following Monday. My first appt with my obgyn is on the…

Friday weigh-ins are great. My stats are as follows: Starting weight: 343lbs Current weight: 229lbs Goal weight for challenge: 189 Overall goal weight for 2011: 170 Good luck and have fun with challenge. Remember if you don't make the 40lbs goal mark, but you have lost some weight along the way, it is still a loss and that…

I'm In. I am currently 229lbs and if I were to lose 40lbs by June 1st, I would be at 189lbs. My goal for the year 2011 is to be at 170lbs. There for i would be well over half way there with a 40 lbs loss. Now if I can keep my snacking at bay I think it will be do-able. Good luck everyone! When are check in days/weeks? etc?…

I am 5'9. My goal is 170lbs. The reason behind it has nothing to do with my frame size or anything, it is because I will have lost at that point almost exactly 1/2 of what i was at all my time high of 343lbs...YIKES!! I currently am sitting at about 229lbs hoping to reach my goal by the end of next year (**Fingers…

That is the reason why most weight loss surgery patients need to take medication to help reduce that risk of gall stones during increased/rapid weight loss. I had to take the prevention pill 3 times a day for 9 months after my surgery. Ridiculous! Worth it though, I am down 114 lbs and haven't had any gallbladder issues.

I had a gastric bypass in Dec of 2009. It was one of the best decisions I have done for myself. Now I am working on the last 55lbs of my weight (I have lost 110lbs already). The pain might be gas pain since it has only been 3 weeks or it might be something more serious. I would say to follow up with your doctor to see if…
