    So, during the summer I was the heaviest I've ever been.  I was running 4-5 miles every week, but I was definitely making up for it with my overeating and err.. drinking.

    Since September I started running more and eating healthier and as of today I've lost 15 pounds!  Still, I'm 10-15 pounds away from where I would like to be..

    I'd like to lose 15lbs, but I also know that muscle weighs more than fat.  If I can tone up some and lose the belly pooch, I'd be happy.

    I have a lot left to lose, like 40ish. I am starting at the gym next semester, hoping to get another 20 down before the summer.

    I'm a waiting bee but I think the proposal isn't too far off. I'd love to have lost 100lbs by the wedding... I was doing well, I had lost 40lbs over the spring and into the summer and then I broke a toe and fell off the wagon and I've gained back half of that. So I have 80lbs to go.

    I'm petite (5'2").  I'd like to lose about 10lbs... but then I'd actually have to start doing something to acheive this!  My wedding is 1.5 years away, so I have some time!  After the holidays, I'm going to rededicate myself to healthy eating!  And, hopefully, at least a bit of exercise!  Mostly I just want to tone up my arms!

    At least 100 lb. I'm shooting for 120-140, but I'd be happy with 100 :)  So far I've lost 32 lb. and my overall goal has been 177.

    Hitting the gym tonight to keep up my progress :D

    I've lost 17.5lbs since I ordered my dress and would like to lose another 20.  That would put me at highschool-weight, which I haven't seen since... uhhh... high school.  I feel like I look best in the 160s but I'm aiming for 150s anyway.  :)

    I'd love to lose 20 pounds to get down to the weight I was in the summer of 2007 (and even then I wanted to lose weight. Sigh...) I know I can do it by September, it's just a matter of buckling down and doing it!

    I lost a lot of weight before my wedding, but some of it was unintentional. I weigh myself every day, and the day we got engaged I was at 106, which was a new low and milestone for me since I had started at over 130 a year before. On our wedding day I was 95, but that was from not being able to eat in the days leading up to the wedding and I gained most of it back during the honeymoon. We took a picture on the first day of our honeymoon and our last, and there is definitely a difference, lol!! My 'real' weight loss was about 4 or 5 lbs from diet and excersize.

    I think ideally I'd like to lose 20... I've gained some weight back over this past year and I'd like to get back down to 140.  Though I think I could lose more weight than that, I like how my body looks at 140.

    Congrats to all those who have lost weight!!  I lost 30 lbs, and my goal was to lose the bulk of my weight before we got engaged (damn you college with  your drinking, fast food and late night munchies), which I achieved!  I am now 5 lbs less than I was when I graduated highschool, and we're not engaged yet!  Yay me! Happy dance!

     

    My next goal is to lose 10-15 more lbs before our engagement pictures this spring, and then keep it off and toned up from there on out.  I'd really love to just be toned and lean and keep all that mess off of me until I get knocked up one of these days.

     

    I've decided to start my diet again December 26th or 27th, so that I can eat what I want for the next 10 days (I'm a sucker for Christmas food).  If any of you bees want a diet buddy, I'm here for you!

    Woowza!  I'm amazed and inspired by all of you who have lost significant amounts of weight.  These last few months were the first time that I've ever really tried to lose more than 5 pounds.. and it was definitly a lifestyle adjustment.

    @LaviniaRose2013: I may have to take you up on that offer!

    Keep up the healthy weight loss everyone!  I wish you all the best of luck!

    My goal is to lose 90 pounds.  My goal weight seems sooooo far away :(.  I have started WeightWatchers and I have lost 9.4 pounds since the middle of November.  Good luck to everyone!  And good job so far!  We CAN do it!!

    I have those stubborn 5-6 pounds that I would love to get rid of, but if I don't... no biggie... they're there now and I am sure they would return after the wedding! I just want everything to fit!
