i recently came out of a relationship with the man i thought i was supposed to spend the rest of my life with, and initially, all i wanted to do was disappear. however, one day it occurred to me that i lived a good portion of my life without him, and that if i wanted to have a great relationship again, i should probably get back in touch with myself, and love me as much as (and hopefully more than) i loved him. long story short, as of this past week, i've been kinda reclaiming my life, i weigh 210 and want to weigh about 130 so i have about 80 lbs to lose, and i'd love to talk to other people that are also trying to lose a fairly large amount of weight, or hear from people that have already accomplished this goal and how they've done it. i've posted my plan in the "diary" section of the board if you're curious about what i'm up to.

Wow,
We could not be any more similar. Just coming out of a 5 year relationship and decided to instead of feeling like its the end of the world, get back in touch with myself and work some things out that seem to get lost when you have someone else to worry about
I'm 211 lbs and just fresh starting out, want to get to around 140-135ish.
We should keep in touch = D I'm in need of a weight loss buddy for sure.
I'm in the midst of intensive research tonight and feel awesome about stumbling onto this amazing forum.

Hey there

So i'm currently 225 pounds and would like to get to about 140. I've lost 15 pounds so far. I joined a gym and changed what I've been eating. I was told i'm not eating enough. Ha how can a woman my size not eat enough? but I guess by not eating enough my metabolism isn't working the way it should so it's not burning anything I do eat. I find breakfast to be my hardest meal to eat. Just give me my coffee lol. But since I decided to get in shape and loose weight I have managed to eat breakfast most mornings even if it's just a piece of fruit. I've also been trying to keep track of my calories which I must admit can be difficult when cooking for a family of 5. But I decided to do this cause I stepped on the scale and found out that I had hit my heaviest weight. I even weigh more now than I did when I had my kids. And it's time to start taking care of me. I'm also thinking about starting a food journal. I hear it's a good thing to do. So i'm going to start that tomorrow. Anyway i just want to say good luck with your goal and remember as long as your loosing and not gaining anything then your on your way of reaching it. Even if it's only a pound. Just think of it as a pound of butter. And what ever you do. Dont give up, no matter what! Look forward to hearing from you and anytips you have will be great. GOOD LUCK!!!
