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 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!
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!
Thanks guys. I will def go to the 100 club Im so glad to see people just like me. I have a feeling this is gonna be a GREAT support group for me. I will try to add some of u as buddies if I figure out how lol.
