I am curious what everyones goals are to losing weight? Not your weight goal.. but like why you are losing weight and what size you want to be in clothing wise. Ya know you could want to be 155lbs and be 4'11" or 155lbs and 6'.
Also curious what area everyone is in?
I want to lose weight for health, to look good in clothes again.. etc. I want to be like size 16/18. I loved that size. Honestly because I know the weight won't come off the way it went on I figure I'll drop some extra weight/sizes and then let myself gain a little after.
I like extra meat on my things/butt.. I don't mind a little extra on my belly .. just not the HANGING down fat! I don't mind the little "kangaroo pouch" I use to have.
I live in the Seattle, WA area. I am from Orlando, Fl. Move here at 16.

I want to be 170ish at 5'8
I dream of being back into a size 12,but for now I am reaching to get go down to a comfy 16 and then size 14.I'm feeling more active now then when I was in a size 22,so thinking I may actually be able to keep up with the kids even more at a size 14 :o)
Yeah,I know that hanging down fat....I hate it with a passion!I have faith that I can at least make it now hang,the lil pouch isn't bad,but hanging over is driving me nuts.
I'm in NW Indiana(hubby's home town)...moved here from the south suburbs of Chicago about 7 years ago.

271/254/ 199 for now and hopefully 150...
I want to lose weight to be healthy, have more energy, and to set a good example for my kids. I'd also like to be able to shop for clothes I actually LIKE and look good on me. I'm sure I'll never have a flat stomach, but I'd like to get rid of the "hanging down fat", cuz I have LOTS of that! Even a large pooch would be a huge improvement over what I have now. I'd like to be around 140-150 lbs, now sure what size that would put me at, I don't remember when I was ever smaller than a 20, it had to be like middle school or something like that. So I don't know exactly what size I'd like to be, maybe a 12/14.
I live in Southern California, currently in San Diego, but a week from now we'll be in south Orange County.

It is so great to have a board like this where we are all in the same boat. I have friends that want to lose 20 pounds...they have no idea what it is to feel "heavy" or to just feel like a blob or for it to take effort to get up and moving. So it is just nice to communicate with others who share my day to day struggles, just like someone mentioning, it would be nice to sit in public chairs and not feel tight and like Sylvester in Tweety's cage, ha ha.
Okay, well i would be happy at 195 pounds (i am 5' 10"), i was at that weight about 2 years ago and slowly gained all 100 that i lost, back again. BUMMER. My ultimate goal is 145 pounds. WHen i was 195 i was a size 16/18 and i felt comfortable in my skin. I felt in control of my body and like i was aware of my body's size. At this weight, i dont even feel like i am aware of my body's size. I bump into stuff more often, loose my balance more often, just weird stuff like that. When i was smaller, it felt good and tight to hop up stairs...now it would feel like a earth quake if i hopped up stairs. But oh well.
I want to lose the weight because i have a strong family history of heart disease and diabetes. ANd just uncomfortable in this skin.
I have been dieting for about a month and i have lost 18 pounds, 5.8 of it just this past week. I dont know what happened for me to lose that much in one week. Usually its just 2-3 per week. All the planets must have been in alignment this week, ha ha.
Anyway, so good to have you all here.

I'm in Germantown, MD. I want to lose weight mainly for my health. I had gestational diabetes with my 2 sons, so I know I have a great chance of getting it when I get older if I don't take care of myself now. (I think that was Gods way of putting me in check) I want to get to a size 6-8. I was a size 8 once upon a time.
Hope I can get there again.

I thought it was the twins that caused that overhang thing and here it is the c-section.
Ok, my doctor told me that I am border line diabetic. Apparently there is no such thing. You are either diabetic or you are not. So health is the first consideration.
Size 16-18 will put me in the 200 lb range, so I could still go lower, but I doubt the size would go lower because of the overhang.
I live in BC, Canada.
Wow.. ok I had to stop while reading about your 3 tummies and recount mine.. ok so i have the one that divets at my belly button and then the 2nd one is the hanging one. I love being to talk open here with everyone about our multi bellies.. maybe one day we should discuss our multi chins. : p nah!!!
Before I was pregnant my belly was one with a small divet at the belly button.. after i had my son i all of sudden had this REALLY low hanging part.. i am pregnant again and VERY scared what will happen after this kid!!
