I am starting out at 224--the heaviest I have ever been and I am ready to leave it behind. I began my health changes a couple of months ago and have learned a lot already. I am not terribly concerned solely by the number on the scale, but it is part of an over-all measurement of my health.
My husband and I are doing some weekly challenges, but I thought it would be fun to have another group I "work out" with. I watch the Biggest Loser show pretty regularly and am amazed at the things they are able to do in such a short amount of time. I recognize that I am not working out as much as they are (I have a life outside the gym), but it inspires me that I can do more than I think. That's why I joined this forum, because I get inspired by people doing things they didn't think they could do. As I learn, hopefully I can inspire someone too.

welcome to the forum and good luck, you are going to do great! we are all here to support you!! You should join my Valentines Day Weight Loss Challenge!


I am new to this forum but I am ready to share my weight loss process as I begin it. I am ready to be fit for the summer and enjoy living in my body. A healthier and happier me is most important, losing weight isn't about what others think of me, but more of what I think of myself.

January 7, 2011 - Current weight is 183.6
April 01, 2011 - I hope to be in the 150's
May 17, 2011 - I hope to be in the 130's


Good Luck to all in their weight loss journey, I wish you all success!

People's transformations are so amazing and inspiring to me as well. And this forum is great because it provides that and personal support. I am also not trying to worry too much about numbers and focus on overall health. Good Luck!! You can do it!!
