Who else has 80+ pounds to goal?

I do

I want to lose another 50 lbs.  I already lost 39 lbs.  Should we create a challenge?  Lila

I kind of do too...

I started at 83 kg, while my *upper ideal weight on the medical check-up chart* is 50 kg.

Theorically that makes 33 kg (= 72 pounds) to lose. It's very likely I will find myself slim enough before reaching 50kg, so my mirror will decide when I stop.

I have already lost 19 kg (=42 pounds). That takes time, but I don't find it difficult.

(Most of the time), I eat regularly, healthy and balanced, it's not a real diet. I avoid the junk binging that made me fat. To get a calorie deficit, I do lots of walking/eliptical, sometimes walking. I do yoga and some DVD aerobic for shaping up.

That was tough to start... to get from chaos eating and spreading myself on the couch to more regular habits. But no, it's OK, I can go on like that forever.

I set intermediate a 5 kg goal on Dailyburn, then another 5 kg. I find it more motivating.

So everybody, let's go !

I do!

My lifetime goal is to lose 132 lbs.  I realize it's going to take me a long while, but I'm OK with that.  I just have to have patience.  I am so comforted to see that there are other people in the same situation as me to relate to.  In my day to day life, I am surrounded by people that have never had problems with their weight, or have weight loss goals of 15lbs that are very challenging for them.  I cannot relate to these people very well.  On Dailyburn there are a few people at my size and there are also a few people who USED to be my size.  I have one person as my motivator who used to be my size and now looks amazing.  It is such an inspiration and so exciting to have this person as a motivator, because I feel that one day, I can be just like him.  I feel that if at least one other person has done it, that I can do it too.

Yes, 80+

I have been struggling to lose...This month I have actually really pushed to get some exercise in.  The motiviation to exercise is hard.  The diet is there...now it is just a matter of moving.  I work at a desk job 8 hours a day:(

I have a little one...so I try to spend as much time with her.  Fitting in exercise is challenging.  I am hoping to find the support to keep me motivitated to keep moving.
