Ideally, I would like to lose 60lbs which would put me around 125lbs. Right now I am 184lbs 5'4." That way if I gained some of it back I could, hopefully, stay under 140. My timeframe would be asap, but realistically speaking, I have no idea because the ways I have tried to lose weight were the quick ways: fasting, diet pills and other unhealthy avenues. I would rather accomplish weight loss the healthy way. Diet and exercise. I've been walking 5 miles almost daily. But there are times when I don't. Support from my family and friends would be ideal. Even a support group if possible. I would love to have a workout buddy or walking partner. Dependable, motivating, and encouraging. My goal is very realistic because I've been that size before. About 4 or 5 years ago. I don't know when I will start. I need a serious push. Don't know what it's going to take. I really want to lose weight so that I can be more active with the kids. I have two boys 11 and 5, who are very active. I would also like to bend over without getting dizzy. I want to run again and not have sore shins afterward. And I want to shop for clothes again. I've said before I will lose weight by Christmas or by my birthday or to be in a wedding. But that's never happened. I feel it has to come from somewhere with in me. A need to change. I think I'm waiting for something to click in me like I've heard them say on the Biggest Loser. Diet Pills: I've tried them all. They literally make me sick. All of them. I've thrown them out. I am not one of those people who can't lose weight. I know I can with diet and exercise. I just need to get to that point to where I can be serious about doing so. I'm lazy and put things off until the very last moment. My family is sick of hearing me say, "I'm going to start tomorrrow." 184 is not a bad place to start. I know people who have that as a goal. I wish I could just start from there. I don't have any existing health problems stopping me from exercising. But at the rate I'm going, I know high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes are a burger away. I know all of this and yet I do nothing. What's it going to take? I certainly I lack a clear plan and dedication.
 
Started school at a university this week. Coming from a small community college, I have to say, "Wow! What a change!" I am walking so much. Good thing I walked in the park daily before this. This will really help to reach my goal, bec even on the days I don't feel like walking, I'm not going to have a choice bec I have to go to class. Now just focus more on the eating habits and gym every other day, I should be good.
 
steady at 180

Still holding steady at 180lbs. My new goal is a more realistic goal of about 135 to 140. Then I'll maybe take it from there. Good thing is I no longer wish to be skinny. I no longer want to look like actresses and singers. I want to look and feel what I consider normal for me. I want the pouch. I should bec I have two kids. I have nice legs, I think. I don't mind the big breast (with a good bra). I just want to be healthy. No more high blood pressure. No feeling dizzy when I get up too fast. I am still walking alot thanks to being enrolled in a university and having to park .3 miles away from class. I leave all of my books for the next class in the car, on purpose, just so that I have to walk to get them. I get in 3.1 miles a day. Not bad. But I'm use to walking 5 or more. I also dont get to eat much during the day with all that walking to get to class, so when I finally do eat, I'm starving and just want to put something, anything, into my mouth. That is my problem. I don't plan ahead. I should take snacks to munch on throughout the day. But I don't. I'll learn. :cuss:
