    Highest Weight: 380*
    Current Weight: 346
    Goal: To be 240 by my 30th birthday next year. To wake up and not hate myself when I look in the mirror.
    Location: North Carolina

    Back in 2013 I reached a good place around summer, but due to a lot of circumstances I shot right back to a bad weight and fell off the wagon and had it run over me. Now I'm back to not only get back to that good place but to stay there permanently. I seek to live by the saying "A sound soul, dwells within a sound mind, and a sound body."

    Nice to meet you all!

    Highest Weight: 200 Lbs
    Current Weight: 190 Lbs
    Goal: To get to 150, honestly as quickly as I can manage, as unrealistic as that seems. I know there'll be setbacks, but honestly if I can get at least some of the weight from my chest and stomach off, it'll be progress.
    Location: Florida

    As a genderqueer, mostly masculine person, I don't like the way I look. My curves are undeniably feminine, and while sometimes I like that, those days are few and far between.

    Nice to meet everyone, and I hope some of us can become friends.

    Age: 55
    Height: 5'10"
    Highest weight: 250+ (I know my weight got to be higher than that, but I refused to weigh myself after I'd hit 250)
    Current Weight: 231 lbs
    Goal weight: 155 lbs
    Location: Just north of Albuquerque, NM

    Lifelong compulsive eater & food addict. I was always overweight as a child, first lost weight with amphetamines in my adolescence, became anorexic at college in my 20s, exercise bulimic in my 30s, more of a binge eater since my mid-40s. My weight has yoyoed from as low as 140 to 250+ several times throughout adulthood. Finally am finding sanity with my food thanks to a 12 step program and a good therapist, who's helped me work through many of the effects of childhood & adult traumas.

    I'm a late blooming transwoman, one year into my transition after living my entire previous adult life as an out, loud & proud gay man. Glad to be here & am grateful for MFP's food tracker and community!

    Age: 25 (in one week)
    Height: 5'2"
    Highest Weight: 155+
    Lowest Weight: 118lbs
    Current Weight: 140lbs
    Goal Weight: 125lbs
    Location: Baltimore, Maryland, USA

    I listed my lowest weight because I know that's not where I want to be any more than my highest weight. At 125lbs I was my strongest and healthiest. I gained about 25 pounds after starting on Lexapro (an antidepressant with a side effect of weight gain) and now that my brain is more balanced, I want the rest of my life to be balanced too. I'm looking for friends and supporters to cheer each other on through this process! Add me if you'd like the same :)

    Goal Weight: 160 lb


    Location: Orlando Florida

    My name is Dillon. I've been very slowly losing weight. Which I guess is a good thing for keeping it off. I haven't had any major back tracking on my progress just haven't been losing very much. I am determined to stay focused the rest of the year though to see how much I can accomplish. Weight lost is from June of last year to present.

    Age: 28
    Height: 5'4
    Location: Michigan
    Highest Weight: 200 lbs [~91kg]
    Current Weight: 174 lbs (26 lost) [~79 kg]
    Goal Weight: 135? lbs (39 left?) [~61 kg] I'm not exactly sure where I want to be, I am more focused on feeling better when trying on clothing.

    When I was in High School, I weighed 125, so I feel like 135 is a decent goal. We will see as time progresses if that is possible.

    I am the most excited than I have ever been about my health. I would love friends to help be accountable and cheer our successes and support our struggles. Feel free to add me!

    Highest Weight: 285
    Lowest Weight: 145

    Goal: 165- this number represents strong ‘n’ healthy no matter the number. Have daydreams of beginning training for a spartan challenge in a year.
    Location: Rockville, Maryland, USA

    Had been losing a steady 10 lbs a year for ten years. Choosing to quit smoking, starting T, and two hysterectomies (yes two) in the last 18 months made choosing food and lethargy easier than choosing movement and intentional eating.

    Restarting, albeit slowly, cardio and strength in our home gym. Tracking the intake and output.

    Transguy married to active duty Air Force. Daddy to three kittens. Karaoke enthusiast. Fan of mirror gloss shine on boots. Coming up to another surgery and wanting to get rid of the softness.

    Big fan of celebrating success big or small. Feel free to friend me.

    I should be planning since hopefully by the end of the first quarter I should be at goal weight. After I hit that, I'll probably look into recomp.
