Anyone morbidly obese?

Thr33N1N3

I'm in that category. I'm over 300 lbs, so yeah.. Looking for others in my situation. Add me so we can support and give advice to each other. I am also open to other invites.

I'm about 235 & 5 ft tall. Not a good combo. I've started this process too many times to mention. I've done an awful lot of thinking of losing weight this past week. How about you?

SW is 310.6. I'm 5'8'', 40 years old and going all in. I started 3 days ago. Like you I have been down this road many times. I'm going to lose and keep it off this time.

Hi, I think I'm about 250, weighing in on Tuesday. Just signed up today to get teh account set up and look around for a bit. I don't know how to connect to people yet but if you do please find me.

I’m 5’8 and weigh 315. All of my daughters school parents are floored when they learn what I weigh. I can tell it’s creeping up as I’ve noticed I’ve become mouth breather at night. I’m tired of leaving my pants undone so I can tie my shoes as I sit at the top of the stairs and use my sock to pull my ankle towards me to put on my shoes. It has to stop. I’m 45 this year and can’t continue this way.

I was morbidly obese (5'4" and 275, BMI 47) 18 months ago. I'm within normal BMI range now. You can do this.

estherdragonbat

Me too! 14 months ago (5'3", 254, BMI 45). I'm now overweight. Slow and steady. You've got this.

JeromeBarry1

I used to be. I'm not any more. I quit eating so much, so often. Less often now. Less of me, too.

ColinIsTheName

Started as morbidly obese in March. Now I'm just overweight if you go by BMI, but that really isn't the best measure. I'm pretty damn thin. SW-375. CW-251. My goal is 235. Also I'm 6'7". If you're sitting at morbidly obese, just know this place works if you keep at it and rely on those who have good advice.

Did you go to the gym or have videos at home for exercise?

hooter_2007

I tried to get to my goal weight by the time I got 30. Well that was in Sept. 2017. The past week I've been more conscious about my eating and started cize today. I'm determined this year is the year to make life changing decisions. I'm 30, 5'1 and 240lbs.
Any and all support welcomed

I just started walking and hiking in the beginning. Then joined a gym and did just cardio but also kept walking and hiking. Then I Bought a home gym and exercise bike. I spent the better part of a year working out at home, then I got work out of town so now I am back in a gym both at home and away at work.

you are not alone. Persistence and time is all it takes. I believe in you. You can do it. Put in the hours, but in the work, and you can get to a healthy BMI.

ashleyg960

Me too! I’m starting again!! I’m hoping to lose 100lbs this year

apullum

I used to be. I was 215 pounds and 4' 11.75". I lost 100 pounds using MFP and am now maintaining within the optimal weight range for my height.

Praying for you all, don't ever give up, take it one moment at a time and build momentum with each pound!

One of my favorite quotes from a Led Zeppelin song

Yes there are 2 paths you can go down, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road your on

Merrysailor5

I started at 215lbs at 5' tall. It's taken 3 years of ups and downs. But, I'm finally at a good BMI.

You can do this. Don't give up. It'll take patience and time.... Just keep going.

I can relate, I am 5' 3 212 I am 2 points from morbidly obese. About 4 years ago I lost 100 lbs I have gained half of that weight back. I am back on track trying to make some changes, I think a good portion of my weight gain has been from drinking and anxiety. I am a nervous eater. I have been focused for the last month enough to go to the gym. This month I am going to add changing my food habits and changing the way I deal with anxiety I wont fix it with food or alcohol. I find having people that are in the same situation helps. You got this, one minute at a time, one day at a time, small changes then add to it. It took a while for us to get here its gonna take a while to get us back to a healthy BMI. Some days will be harder than others but get right back up and continue on and don't beat your self up... Feel free to add me if you would like

Myself as well. I'm under the obese category at 250 and 5'9". I started this lifestyle (again) back in September. Dropped 40 by Christmas and after Christmas and New Years festivities, I had a small set back. Got back on it today. We can do this! Everyone send me a friend request if you like!
