    I started at 260 (I'm only 5'2). I got down to 188. But gained back up and to 218 due to slacking and stress and being a work-a-Holic. The good news is that I got a grip before I gained it all back so I'm back at it. I'll I've lost almost 4 lbs this week and I'm pumped to finally reach my goal one day soon.

    I'm 5'9" and started at 278-comprable weight factored in for height. Lost about 25 or so lbs this summer and am at about 249. I have about another 95 to go, then I'll re-evalutate. I'm trying to do this in 25 lb chuncks to make it doable. My Christmas gift to myself will be another 25 gone.

    Hi everyone, My name is Karen and I live in Australia with my daughter. I'm starting this today and wanting to get in touch with people on a similar journey to me. I'm 5'7" and my first weight in is 293 pounds. Will update everyone on my progress. Good luck!

    I'm at 255 at 5'6 and 35 years old. I'll be curious to see how my skin looks after losing. I wonder if I'll have tons of loose flapping skin or if it will tighten back up ok.
    Has anyone lost say 50-70lbs and had their tummy skin be ok?
    If anyone wants to add me as a friend that'd be great as I could use some support.

    I started 2 days ago at 264. I am 5-10 and 44. lost quite a bit of weight a few years ago with myfitnesspal, thought I would give it another shot. Friends welcome for co-motivation.
