Hi! Im new here too, I know what you mean about needing to loose a lot of wieght. I was at 244 now Im at 234, and I need to go down to at least 160.... at the very least. So I have 74 lbs to go, but right now my most immediate goal is to be under 200 lbs which I have not been in over 10 years now. Good luck!
