How much do you want to lose, and in what amount of time...

My ideal goal is to lose 40 lbs...but this could take me years LOL

I've got another 55 lbs to go by my wedding, and I hope to keep it up for the rest of my life...

I've lost a total of about 95 lbs in the last 2 years, so another 55 would just be icing on my cake...literally and figuartively!

That is so amazing!! You are an inspiration. Maybe one day I can say that, too! Congratulations.

I want to lose about 5lb by the summer, and another five within the next year. But I am within normal range, so this may be very hard or impossible

I am trying to lose about 50-60 pounds all together, hopefully I will be close by the end of the year.

Good luck to everyone

Short term: 30-35 lbs...hopefully by the summertime

Long term: 60-65 lbs....but, I'm hoping for another pregnancy between now and then....

Re: For those who want to lose weight...

Well it wasn't easy...and it's been a slow process...

It started when my girlfriend asked me to be her bridesmaid two years ago...i knew i would be mortified by the pictures if I didn't lose weight...so from that day i went on a crash diet eating salad and just not being healthy at all...I lost 60 lbs in 3 months but then it just stopped because i was literally starving myself.

After that I started eating better and I joined the gym and I lost another 10 lbs or so. But then I joined weight watchers and the lbs seem to be coming off and I'm eating healthier than ever!

Now I have my own wedding to look forward to and I want to look like I dream I will...I want feel wonderful both inside and out, so I guess envisioning how that day will be keeps me going!

Here are some pics...

Re: For those who want to lose weight...

I'd really love to lose at least 30 lbs by my wedding (July 25). When I put my mind to it, I think I can do it.. I have 6 months .. but I've just been SO uninspired this past month. I blame it on staying indoor a lot and just being uninspired to hit the gym..

Everytime I look at pics of my gown, though, I get a little more determined!

Wow! That is EXCELLENT! I would love to lose a total of about 100, maybe more. So far I'm down 41.6. You look great! (In both the before and after pictures, you must be so proud!!) May I ask how tall you are?

I dunno, I'm obsessed with seeing how people lose weight, and compare them to me. You know, some people have the weight distributed over a taller frame than others. It's just a silly habit of mine. My mom is 5'2, and just as overweight as I am, and it seems like you notice a smaller loss on her faster than you'll notice a big loss on me. I'm 5'7, and I hope I look as good as you when I lose more!
