Looking for females in their 20's with 50+ to lose

Looking to make buddies with girls in their 20's with 50 plus lbs. to lose...size 18 to 24ish...   I'm 5'8" size 16/18/20 depending on the garment with 100 lbs. to lose.  My ultimate goal is to fit into a size 8 pant...and not the stretchy kind!    Anybody out there with me?

I'm 21, 5'11" with 75 lbs to lose..........................HEY! :) lol i'm down from a 26 to a 22 now (lost 100 lbs already) but really i don't mind what size i am but it would be nice to be in teens again lol

That's GREAT!!  100 lbs seems like such a big hurtle to me...I try not to think about the number but it's soooo hard!  I just can't wait to be able to wear all those cutesy clothes!

lol i know exactly what u mean............I've been able to get a lot more cute things since i lost the weight but i really really wanta be able to just walk in a story and buy what i want without having to look for their very small plus size section lol ...............that's the dream :P

Yay that's me! I'm 22 yrs old and today I weight 192.5 I wanna get down to 145-135 I'm not really sure yet what my final goal will be. Oh, and I'm 5'4.5". I wear a size 13/14 or 15/16 (barely) and I would like to get down to a size 7/8 - 9/10. I have fallen off the wagon HARD as I normally do but I am determined to keep getting back on and eventually reaching my goal no matter how long it takes!

megegan, I know I may regret saying this but you REALLY do carry your weight well. The pic of you at 356, well you let me just say that you look about 100 pounds less than that and I'm sorry if this offends you because it was not intended to do so at all, you look VERY good, there, point-blank. LOL

lilborykuamami..........i take no offence i take it as a compliment lol..........I think the reason i do look less than i am is because i'm a dance..........danced since i was 4 and so i have alot of muscle from ballet, tap, jazz, and scottish but when i went to college i stopped dancing and started eatting lost worst than before and got all the way from 285 to 356 lbs in two years...............well last summer I was all im not doing that anymore i don't like myself like this..........now i'm 256 lbs..............going for 180 lbs lol...................*crosses fingers*

Cool Beans!!! I'm so happy that there are chicks out there similar to me!  I ABSOLUTELY know what you mean by the tiny plus size section...it really is infuriating when you go shopping and have to go to a zillion stores just to get a couple things.  The very first thing I'm going to buy is a lingerie piece from Victoria's Secret!!!!! The only thing I'm worried about is after I lose the weight all the skin that's not just gonna magically zip back into place...Maybe I can write to Oprah and ask her to hook me up!

I'm in a similar boat though I'm a little further down the river than some of you.  I'm 27, 5'8" and just recently lost some weight and got under 400lbs.  I'd like to weigh between 150-175 but that's a long way off for me.  My goal right now is to lose 50lbs.

I agree with everyone here, I would love to be able to into any store I wanted (not just Lane Bryant & Torrid) to purchase clothes that are cute and fit me well and that I feel comfortable in.  Hey, I'd like to feel comfortable (and not tired or out of breath) walking around the mall for a while.  Right now I do most of my shopping online because then I don't have to go anywhere.

Did you want to set some kind of time goal to lose the weight or what were you thinking?

hey soldiersgirl... That was one of my goals: to get something at VS for me (and the boy), yet 36C is the largest they carry in lingerie, and most of it is around 32A - 34B. 

I'm 5'7, currently 175, but started at 250 and have 25 more pounds to lose until I hit my goal.  100 is a big number all at once, so I've had lots of 10 pound mini-goals. 

I was so happy though when i was bigger (even now though im in the lower half of the sizes than the upper) to find Torrid...........it's the stuff my friends were wearing but in bigger sizes...............I use to wear a 4 shirt now i wear a lose 2...........yay lol...........I'm planning to go to vegas with some of my girlfriends once everyone has turned 21...............and I would so love to have my new body by then so that's kind of my goal date for the big (or small lol) 180 lbs

I am 27 and have 100+ to lose. I am just taking my goals 20 lbs by 20 lbs... but i would like to be at 200lbs by feb. Its possible. I am 17lbs down from when i started a month ago. just eating right and exercising. its been great thus far.

Bethystan- I would like to reach my goal within the next year,  Which I think is totally attainable.  And I get what you mean by just being comfortable...like I said in my profile, I want to sit down and the top of my pants not disappear!!! I can't imagine what it must feel like to be able to sit down and have no belly rolls...just smoothness.       

So do you girls want to "weigh-in"?  I don't know if you would want to do it weekly or monthly?  I think pictures would be fun too.  I like the idea of sharing success with people who aren't going to be judgemental and instead offer support and encouragement and praise! If you have any other ideas let's have 'em!  I just want to make this as fun as possible.

I'm all for weigh in weekly because i weigh every sat morning.............and once i get back to school (mid august) i'm all for pics...............might be more pressure to lose the weight lol :P

Great, and I know about the pictures...but I just think it will be neat to see everyone's progress, and be motivational.  Why don't we do our first weigh in on July 30th, and then every monday there after.  And the pics can be posted monthly...that way we will actually be able to see progress...I think a weekly photo wouldn't show us much.

okay July 30............I'm gonna still weigh on sat but i'll just wait til mon to post it...........it's just a better day i have more time to do it lol.............but ya once a month on the pictures sounds really good but someone should remind us so i don't forget lol...........other than that i think this will be great motivation YAY!!:)

Then it's set.  I do hope the other girls join in...the more the merrier!!  I'm hoping that when I come to work in the morning and check the forum that there will be lots of new entries...I get SO excited when there has been a post...lol...Such a Geek!

Well, soldiersgirl24 maybe you should add us all as friends and then you can send a post on Monday of your first weigh in and we can all add our weight an a new picture at that time. 

This is how all those weight loss places like LA Weightloss really have success stories - they support their people and make them accountable for their progress.  And it's free :-)

Hello there,

I would love to join this group. I have been on here since May counting calories but I really didn't want to join the chats. I think because then i would be held accountable. Now I don't care you guys are all so helpful and nice. I will hopefully get a picture up soon and I would love to weigh in on mondays with you guys. So officially this is the first post. =)

im very excited bout this...............people who've got the same amount to lose as me yay .............ya definately add us as friends so u can make sure we all post..............bout to get off work i'll check in with u ladies later peace!
