It seems like most of the ladies doing the postings had enough sense to start dieting at 20 or 30 lbs overweight. Congrats to you all, because I SO wish I had done the same.

Unfortunately, I waited until I need to lose 78 lbs before I was finally motivated to start 01/01/04.

Is anyone else out there starting this far from the finish line? Or, has anyone started this far and is now close?

Also, instead of pounds, I'm going to try to put more emphasis on body fat percentage. Anyone else doing this?

Inquiring minds want to know. :)

I have just started and I have about 50-60 pounds I would like to get rid of, that amount would put me at a very health BMI. This group has really helped me get that boost of motivation to do it!

Maggie:

I would love to have a support group to chat with about the struggles in losing weight. I was going to start SBD on January 2nd...but after reading the book started it almost a week earlier. I haven't weighed in again since starting - but I feel GREAT!

Thanks for all the support you give!!! I have been reading your posts.

I have a total of 1401bs to lose but I'm dividing it into 2 goals. The first goal is to lose 701bs. And the next will be to lose the last 701bs. I wish I only had the first 701bs to lose. But I'm not discouraged because I know that when I focus on my goals, and execute the fitness plan then I can and will achieve my goals.
