I have dieted before did atkins once lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks then found out I was pregnant with my third then that was out the window after having her I stopped drinking soda and did a lowfat diet lost 40 pounds well then I got stuck for a few months and couldnt lose more went to doctors and found out I have Hypothyriodism they put me on medicinie and foolish me thought well I can eat what I want and the medcinie will make me lose weight HA HA I gained 35 pounds back and kicked myself in the butt went into depression and ate ate ate then I realized enough is enough I see my oldest Son getting chunky my husband is overweight and I see I am taking my family down the same road I am heading so I decided its time for a change. I started my diet saturday Im doing low fat diet, 1500 calories a day, and walking every evening till I get my excerise bike then I will do that also I already weighed myself this morning and lost 3 pounds I was trying to wait a week and then weigh but I got impatient. Im hopeing to lose 150 pounds in a year to a year and half I really wanna stick to it and work hard at it this time. Anyone wanna be weight loss buddies who have to lose as much as me or around it send me a message.

So glad you found this site
My starting weight was 270 and am currently tittering between 230 and 233. I also am trying to get back to the 130 range. I am not sure you can message yet (think you have to be a member for 20 days and make 20 posts) but would be happy to be one of your weight loss buddies
Hugs and support on your weight loss journey

Hi! id also be happy to be your buddy. Im just starting after having my second baby. Im also 30 and I would love to be 199. Your plan sounds alot like mine as well

There are lots of folks in the 100 pound club on this site who are in the same situation as you! I'd encourage to have a look in that forum and jump right in. It is the most supportive group of people I have ever met.

Hi and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

Our stats seem very similar. I would be glad to be your buddy.

I am doing the same as you! Need to lose 100+. So happy to find a place where I can find people who can relate!

Hi Im new also, I am 6 ft tall and started at 295! Size 22/24. On 2 blood pressure meds at 27 years old. I am now 235, I was 228 about 2 weeks ago and then i had a mini melt down but I have got myself together again and am feeling great. My goal is 180. I am kinda confused on using this site still but hope to make sum friends once I figure it out lol

Hi there! I'd love to be your weight loss buddy. My hw was 306, and my goal weight is 153 (half of me). I'm also 5'3-5'4 , and sick of living life this way. I'd already started eating healthier when my husband was dx with diabetes. That just kicked us in high gear. There are so many medical problems that run in our family, I'm just a walking time bomb. And I'm putting my children at a disadvantage. I want them to grow with the ability to FIGHT those hereditary diseases (high blood pressure, stroke, heart problems, kidney problems, high cholesterol, cancer, just to name a few.. and that's just my parents and grandparents... in fact.. they all can be just my parents, but their parents and siblings deal with many of them too).

So far I've lost ALMOST 30 lbs. Still a long way to go, but I'm in this for a lifetime.. not jsut a "quick fix".

Yep, definitely head on over to the 100 lb club subforum. There are some great ladies there who are or have been where you are. My starting weight was only 1 lb higher than you, just over a year ago - and I've almost lost 100 lbs! - so I know exactly where you're coming from (and where you can get to!) The members here have been great sources of inspiration, support, and information to me and I'm sure they will be to you too

Welcome

As someone said, take a look at the 100lb Club forum! Lots of us over there in various states of losing

Welcome!
I am also new and have much to lose, I started the Ideal Protein diet at 237lbs and have been on it 7 weeks, 26 lbs gone so far, with my ultimate goal of 135, I would love to be one of your weight loss buddies too! and I am totally looking forward to the 199 mark too! Good luck on your journey, you can do it!
