Post I'm new
Hi, I just found the forums here. I am 42 and I currently weigh 309.6. My first goal is to weigh 260 by the end of the year. My eventual goal is somewhere around 150. I'm happy to have found this community!

Hi Gina and welcome.

Finding these forums is a good start to get you motivated.
How are you thinking of approaching the weight loss?

I just had to reply. I'm new, 40, and 302 at 5"2". I have spent the last few years feeling hopeless but after reading a few of the posts here I am thinking that it might be nice to chat with other people who are having similar weight issues. You are not alone!
Good luck to everyone!

Welcome. Since Chicks can be overwhelming at first, I suggest you look for a support group or challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated. Find one you like that fits your needs, or inspires you, and just post to join.

Well, this time I am not following a commercial diet plan, nor am I following my self-imposed diet plan of the past, which consisted of frozen low calorie meals. I've tried Jenny Craig (gained 10 lbs and never cheated once) and Weight Watchers with no success.

This time I am thinking of it as a change in the way I approach food for the rest of my life, not a temporary fix so I can go back to my old eating habits when I'm "done".

This time I am including exercise, in a real gym with a real trainer, which I never did before (I even tried to get out of PE as a kid).

That's my basic formula this time (hopefully the LAST time!)

Gina (who has lost 5 lbs in the last week!)
