    Hi
    I am Paula.
    I am 5ft 2 and 240lbs. I started the same day as you did.
    It would be great to buddy up. At the moment I am really motivated but I feel I will need lots of motivation over the next year or so.
    I am in the UK

    Hi, I'm 5'2 and started at 290lbs in July 2012 (highest weight ever). Got to 249lbs in October of 2014 without really changing my eating but because of cycling to work every day. In October something clicked, I changed my eating and started the gym next to the biking. 2 weeks ago I saw 202lbs on the scale. It's not going fast but it's going! Hope to be under 200 by the end of October 2015. I'm in the Netherlands. Let's be buddies!

    Hey Kendra! Look, just take the total from the new scale and use it as a loss, for one thing it is a motivator and for the other it has been a few days and you probably did lose if you are keeping under your numbers. You can do this girl! It is hard work, but so worth it, not only for health but for self esteem!

    A great motivator for me has been to weigh once a week. For a visual I use a jar of glass marbles marked pounds to lose. It has 100 marbles in it. I have another jar marked pounds destroyed. Each week if I lose I take my marbles and put them into the Pounds Destroyed jar. It is a nice visual for me to see that I am succeeding. Let me tell you, the first time I had to take a marble from the destroyed jar and put it back into the lose jar was a wake up call! I stay on track now!

    I love the Marble jar Idea!!!!!

    Hi all and Sassyk,
    I am 42 years and 110 kg wich is my heaviest weight ever. I am a mother of 4 kids (11 b, 9 g, 4 b, 3 b). We migrated to canada in 2013 and i have been stressed out ever since. Now i am having health problems like panic attacks which are quite severe. My last ambulance trip was last monday which they ct scanned me for a blood clot in the lungs. Thank God that was false, but i think ot was a wale up call for me.
    I must get my weight under 80 kg. Since last Monday i stopped rice and bread and found my self dieting without relizing it, now i realy want to continue and change my life style. Sassyk, we need all the support and motivation to stay on track, hope i find it here with you.

    Hi! My name is Anna. I would be happy to give some motivation as long as you send some motivation my way. I am 40, standing 5'4 and weighing 359 pounds. I started a at 416 pounds about a year ago after a long drawn out divorce and many years of unhappiness prior to it. Now that the divorce is behind me I am taking care of me. I also have a thyroid issue that causes my weight loss be slightly difficult but I am trying not to discourage me. I am working on a low carb diet. My fitness plan has me eat 253 grams a day. I cut that down 125-150 a day and I have seen great success. So send me a friend request and we can be each other motivation. Good Luck!

    I am a lot older than all of you so not revealing my age, but I started my journey 3years ago at 370 lbs. And now am at 225. I also am 5' 2". It is slow going for me as exercise is hard with fibromyalgia and a bad back. However, you can do this if you are patient and stay focused. Best wishes for you and your husband.
