Looking for people who are morbidly obese and want to lose weight. I have tried before with no success but Covid 19 has motivated me to lose weight.

    Hi there, I'm in the same boat and looking to just have someone to talk to as I try to finally get this weight off. Regular diet and exercise doesn't cut it for a big big person so I'm just starting slow and make careful movements to limit injury. Hope you are well!

    I’m 5’5” and 260 pounds so my BMI is 43.3.

    I know I’m overweight but I really, really, really dislike the term “morbidly obese”. I don’t think you can lump everyone in that category just based on height and weight. There are other factors to consider like muscle mass!

    I don’t identify as “obese” but I would like to lose ~60 pounds. I have also tried with no success to lose weight. :(
