Ht. 5'7", Start: 230 lb, Today: 230 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 170 lb - I'm new to this whole thing but I just needed a group like me. My mom is always telling me to get on a diet but I think to start a diet you need to start with support. I want to lose 60 pounds in 60 months and, I kinda believe in myself. This is a new year and a new me. :] Jes <3

60 months is 5 years! While that definitely sounds like a safe plan, did you by any chance mean 60 weeks? That's a little over a year and a bit more gratifying result-wise, I think. Either way, good luck!
