Hi, I'm new to this and I have finally decided it is time to lose weight, and keep it off.
About a year ago I went from 280 to 215 in about 2 months. I was working 2 jobs one of them being a waitress. It doesnt suprise me that my weight loss was that fast because i rarely ate, i was either in a hurry to get to my other job or sleeping. Since then I have quit one job and I now work in an accounting office with no excercise required.
I'm joing the gym and starting to watch what I eat now. My only concern is what my goal weight should be. Im 5'6" and with my past weight loss i went from a size 20 at 280 and down to a 15 at 215 comfortably. I am currently at 270 at an 18.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Pick a size goal, achieve it and then see if you want to set a new size goal. that makes more sense than a weight goal. I used to think that I would never wear anything smaller than a size 9-11 at 145lbs, but eventually i was wearing a size 6 at 145 lbs, crazy difference in body composition...

I"m going to assume you are female
I think 150 would be a great goal if not lower
depends on what it is that you want - 150 would be heathly for your height - I'm 5'5" my goal is 115 - I'm at 130

I am 150 pounds and wear a size 7, my goal is a size 5 comfortably.....not far to go. I started out at a size 18 11 months ago, and 220 pounds. It takes a lot of work and dedication, and a vision of what you want to look like.

Oh yeah, I am 5'3....weight on the scale does not matter, it is the size clothing, and the mirror, and pictures of yourself are a great thing to use....I thought I was still looking heavy until I compared a picture of myself 11 months ago, and todays picture..WOW!
