Please add me too. I did manage to make my goal last month, so I'm looking forward to a new challenge.

I think I finally "got it" in 2004. I started to exercise as I was tired of always being tired ( I was at 199 lbs with a 4 month old baby). About 20 of that was baby weight.

I started spinning as we have noon classes where I work. I didn't even make it through my first class, but I kept going back. I was so sore and tired when I started but eventually I started to drop some pounds. I also started keeping track of my food, and would lose weight when I journaled. It took me about a year and a half to get to 146 as it was slow and steady - I'd lose, plateau, then get motivated to lose again.

I think I became much more aware of my "health" over just getting thin, and realized the benefits of being active (I have a lot more energy).

Unfortunately I still fall off the wagon at times and become too lazy to journal (the last 2 years or so). I seemed to be able to maintain around 152, but just recently got on the scale and realized I was up to 158. This was a good kick in the butt to get started again, and I am now motivated to get to my original goal of 140.

I want to join!

16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share?I lost 45 pounds a few years ago. I've kept most of it off, except for the 10 pounds I gained back over the last two years. I exercise pretty regularly, so my biggest issue is overeating. So I'm hoping that tracking my calories again, will help take off the pounds.
