Got a ton of weight to lose and I don't actually know how much I weigh! I know it's a hell of a lot though. Measurments/weigh in to come soon (when boots opens!) as my home scale won't weigh me! 
That said does anyone know of a place to get decent heavy duty scales for the home that don't cost the earth?

Currently 72kg and aiming for 65kg by the end of the year.
Will mainly be down to diet and some more intense cycle training. Cycled 7500 miles this year and I'm aiming for about the same but will be adding a race training session and regular hill repeats. I also want to get back into running again doing regular 15km+ on a Sunday.

I have Weight Watchers 8948U scales, they aren't too expensive and weigh up to 28 and a half stone, so should be okay for you.

Currently weighing in at 95kg, at 5"6 (short 'n tubby

). Hoping to trim the Christmas look and improve strength.
Started dieting in June 2011, I hit 19 stone 7, I was binge drinking and eating heavily. I was very low.
First thing I did was move out of my student house. I already played football and walked/cycled to work/uni so was fairly active (as active as you can be on a football pitch at 273lb anyway!).
Used myfitnesspal.com to religiously track my intake of both food and drink. The first 2 months was eating around 1950 calories a day. This initial period imediatly highlighted the problems with my diet, and attitude towards food and drink in general.
Got into a routine now where I know how much I should be eating and the stats of the majority of foods I eat. I can plan my meals as I go.
Before christmas I weighed in at 214lb so a loss of around 4 stone. I expect I have added a few pound since then.
Now in 2012, having the festive period out of the way, I intend to really press on, not only with just weight loss, but fitness and stamina. I have always wanted to be the fittest player on the football pitch, I intend to work towards that this year, having got the rest of my life back on track.
Good luck to everybody!

since i now have a desk job i really need to get into shape and loose some fat
cycling is the key for my exercise as i love it before so hoping after a few painful rides i can get back into doing miles and miles again, this and halving my work food intake as i eat far to much and suffer for it through the day.
Plus i need to get a turbo trainer as there is days where the weather isn't good for the biking and i have space for it

I'm currently 80 kilos (about 12.5 stone) and aiming to be a minimum of 70 kilos (11 stone) by the summer. Planning to make a really good go of this for once, and lost this weight once and for all. I'm quite small, around 5' 4", and it's all fat Back to the gym on Tuesday when it's open again!
I used to swim a lot before I came to uni, so I want to get my fitness levels back.

Had a bad last few months and put on about a stone again so I'm up to almost 15stone (I'm 6'). I'm just going for the lifestyle change to be honest, cut out all the crap like crisps and biscuits, eat healthily and get regular exercise. Hope to get down under 13stone by April.

Work out the calories you're consuming per day as you'll need to keep adjusting your diet as you progress and it makes it easier.
You might want to put a rest day in the middle of the week, 5 days straight will make you tired/sore, especially as the first few weeks are the worst until your body adjusts.

Thanks for your feedback.
I've just worked out it all on caloriecount & it only comes back as 1385 calories. I'm guessing I should really be increasing my food intake? Or should I just eat more of what I'm already eating? It's probably why I sometimes feel like I have no energy. After working out my BMR (from one of the stickys), I don't think I'm eating enough. What are your thoughts? My BMR is 2330 & when I take away the 10-15% I'll need around 2000 calories a day.

Ill be joining this thread this year.
On 27th December I was around 15st 8/9. However, I have been on a Keto diet since then which I have used before and its very effective. As of today I am currently down to 14st 13 this morning with a target of 12st 7/8 to 13st by April.
I am going to starting back down the gym as well, as I have not been since November. I am going to look off doing resistance training followed by CV work.

Started some time ago too. Put on 3LBS last week due to christmas! Lots of wine drinking didnt help.
Hate trainig though as at 47 too many aches and pains etc. So, all i do is cut down on my portions etc. I know i should be more energetic but health issues stop that. Maybe long walks might help.

Same here dude. Been training 5 years with the good old weights but never really been concerned with keeping calories low / cardio. I do cardio just not much.
