Hi Tammy, and welcome! Our stats sound very similar. I'm 5'3" and currently am at 235 pounds. I started at 246 so we're not that far apart! I think that you'll find a lot of support and inspiration on this board. The people here are fantastic. I've been here almost 2 months and I've really enjoyed coming here and getting to know everyone.

Good luck!

Hi Tammy ~ I'm new to the board but have found these women wonderful support. I'm in the same boat, actually more so. 5' tall and started at 265lbs on Feb10th. My goal is to get to 140 as well. I have since lost 15lbs and it's a struggle every day but I just keep chugging along with the other great gals here. I am on Atkins and you will find that the rest of pretty much cover a ton of other plans from WW, BFL to their own plan. Sometimes we fall off and sometimes we don't. A very wise friend on this board gave me a great little tip...don't think about the big weightloss goal or all the weight you have to lose. Set little 5-10 lbs goals for yourself and reach them and then move on, it makes life so much easier. Good luck to you and let us know if you need anything.

Welcome!
