Weight..318
Goal weight...140-160. I'm not firm on this, I'm 5'8.5", and I have been overweight my whole life so I have no idea what my bone structure is like, if I will be muscular or who knows what.
Fitness...I do aqua aerobics when I can get up early enough for them (I work until 11pm at night, they start at 8), I like to walk outside or on the treadmill. My FitBit keeps me accountable. Sometimes ;)
Age... I will be 30 later this year!
Eating plan..I try to eat when I am hungry. I am learning that real hunger doesn't need to be satisfied right away - if I wait 20 minutes and my stomach is actually growling, then I am actually hungry!
I am married, a bisexual woman married to another woman. Together 10 years, married 7.5. Trying for kids in the near future, I need to be as fit as I can be before then!
Music interest...Classic rock, classical, jazz, some current stuff. But mostly classic rock.
Weight ..282
Goal ..200
I am a 58 year old Mother of 2,grandmother of 2..Married to second husband.
Calorie counting and losing weight.
Fitness...dancing to start , walking ,maybe some upper body weight training..My lower body is strong do to years of working on my feet and moving around,
Fitness wise I was doing zumba and taebo. Now honestly, that I am at my biggest its hard to do anything and i am looking for suggestions on good exercises for someone my size to do.
Eating plan...I have been working on smaller portions because i normally eat enough for two people. i am also working on finding new hobbies or interests to keep me busy when I want to eat for no reason or because i am bored or upset. I have also been drinking a glass of water before each meal and using smaller plates to help with my hunger.
I am engaged to my girl friend of five years. We just bought a new house, I just started a new job that i love. Someday i want kids so I want to be healthy as i can be.
I am a wedding singer on the side. I love all kinds of music and artists from Billy Holiday to Adele. Thanx for listening!

I'm counting calories and trying to get in at least 3 miles of walking or the elliptical each day, but currently have only been hitting it every other day. My hip has been hurting which I hope goes away after I get some of this weight off.
I would love to find a fitness twin so we could motivate each other.

I'm a vegetarian. Haven't been doing much for exercise lately. Going to rejoin the Y in March & hopefully get back into my dance class. I miss doing that. (Actually going to the doc on Mon for a pulled muscle/possible pinched nerve.)
I'm a single mom & my son is my world! :) Just wish I wasn't soooooooo big & could keep up with him better than I can now. I want to go skating with him again & help him get better at baseball (this is his first season & he's used to playing soccer). Don't get me wrong, I do all kinds of stuff with him. Just wish my weight weren't quite as much of an obstacle for me. :( We went to a concert this week & I HATED sitting in those tiny seats. (I know, something petty to bitch about but it was still in my mind.)
