    Hi people :smiley: Feel free to add me! I am 40, 320 lbs, have 3 kids (18, 6, almost 4), and am forever engaged to my BFF since 2013.

    I had lost 100+ lbs with MFP in 2012-2013, my final weight before leaving at 250. I fell madly in love, had 2 kids, and let myself go unfortunately... well, we both did lol. But after a recent 5 lb loss (over 2 mos lol) I am feeling confident that I have it in me to fight through this again and do even better.

    Goals are:
    299 by the end of the year
    220 by this time next year

    Let's take one day at a time. Let's make the best choices for today. All these todays are gonna add up to a healthier tomorrow.

    Yes, I like that - one day at a time. I am very good at self sabotage, so I shall focus on the positive as much as I can and allow myself to have off days if thats what happens.

    Me too! Similar story to everyone here. My highest weight was 292. Lost 70 at WW and lost my focus. Slowly put it back on and then COVID hit. While others stocked up on toilet paper, I stocked up on potato chips! My husband and I both ate a LOT of junk food and I didn’t even care. It was rather freeing to just eat what I want with no guilt. I have not felt that since before my teenage years!
    But as things are slowly getting back to normal here in Ontario, I finally realized that enough is enough. So I’m back.
    Restart weight was 277. I was sure I was over 300 pounds so already I felt like a loser!!
    Now- I’m excited to become a big loser once again.
    Anyone can add me as a friend. I’m never sure how to do that.💪👏🎉

    I can COMPLETELY relate to your post right now! This month I re-started my weightloss journey at 298, this is the highest I've ever been. My CW is 295 and I have set a goal to lose at least 10lbs per month. I hope you don't mind me adding you as a friend here.

    Hi there! I'm just starting out at 320 pounds too! I just started this week, so no loss yet. Trying to take it one day at a time! 🤗

    Just wanted to say although it may seem impossible at times, every one of you can reach your goals! Just gotta take it a day at a time and be consistent. There may be a few bumps on the journey but when that happens remember the reason you started and remember your life and your health are worth fighting for.
    I don't have 100+ lbs I have to lose anymore but when I started I needed to lose 165 which felt impossible, started at 350 lbs an currently 212 lbs so I've got less than 30 to go now
    Something I recommend is to not only weigh in weekly or biweekly but to take measurements and also progress pictures. It's a great way to see your progress and keep you motivated.
    Hope everyone has a great day!

    So my battle today - which I know is daft but........ I have lost 2.6 lbs this week and I am a little bit pleased, but as it means I am still heavier than when I started here last time it doesnt feel like an achievement. What a pressure the mind is huh.

    I'm in a similar place. I lost over 100lbs a few years ago and then took "a break" and put it all back on! I restarted here in March at about 327lbs, currently I am 292lbs. I feel in a good mindset to carry on. Although the time it takes is off putting, I need to learn moderation and better eating habits anyway. Good luck to us all! Feel free to add me as a friend.

    2.6 lbs off is good Sara, better than the other direction like we have been doing! :wink:

    Today I am a bit emotional. Sad. I got a bad news from a colleague over phone. I don't want my sadness to trigger my emotional eating. Last 10 days have been great. I want to continue being happy and positive.

    My goal today = track my walking through the day. I normally only track it when I go for a walk, but I'd like to see how far I get just walking round the flat etc in life. I tracked it in June - a work day, where I sit for most of the time, and it didnt even reach 1000! So lets see how today goes.

    Its an overcast day here in UK, hope the sun in shining where you are :)

    My highest, from what I know of, was 264. Which was January of this year. My ultimate goal is 140/130, but I'd be happy to get to 200, and then 170. I've lost a total of 15 lbs so far, and have really been changing my life style around since the beginning of July. So excited to continue my journey and goodluck on yours!
