Has anybody started at 300lbs+ ?

I started at 305 July 1, 2013 and I haven't really taken any pics yet. Waiting till I hit my first 40lbs lost goal. Just logg everything that goes into your mouth, drink water and get that body moving. I also don't deprive myself and pretty much eat what I like within reason. I'm usually under my calorie goals but last week on vacation everyday was a bad day lol. I didn't gain any weight from it n now I'm back on track hopefully I'm 2 weeks I can hit my first goal. Good luck to you and feel free to add me my diary open n I'm on everyday.

I started out at 332 pounds 18 months ago and I am down 102 pounds.



Exercise was really hard for me at first because I had no energy and was grossly out of shape. As the weight started to come off, I found it much easier to work out. After I lost 40 pounds, I started on the Couch to 5k program. I have discovered that I love to run! I am training for my first half marathon next year.

I wish I had done this sooner...I'm turning 34 next month...I spent too much of my younger years fat and unhappy. I'm finally living my life the way I want to.

You can do this!! Best of luck to you!!!

i started on here on 12/12/2011. i weighed 327lbs. i now weigh 175.1lbs. (12/7/2013) thats about 150lbs in 2 years.

^^2008 & 2013

my advice. DONT GIVE UP. EVER. there will be bad days. LOG EVERYTHING. good and bad days. let go of the slip ups. each day is a brand new start. a new 24 hours to do better then the day before. i still eat whatever i want in moderation.. and within calories. restricting too much made me want to make more poor choices. im not really into exercise.. i do try to time from time.. you dont HAVE to exercise to lose weight.. but it is a really good thing to do anyways. measure ALL of your food. if you can get a cheap food scale.. then weigh everything. its so easy to think something is ABOUT a cup.. but its really a cup and then some.. so measure measure measure! and i mean a flat measuring cup. when you heap it.. its more calories.. and over time those calories DO add up. make small goals. i weighed 327 so i was like hmm lets get to 300.. then i said well lets try 275.. 250.. etc. accept that it wont happen fast.. and thats a GOOD thing.. the slow process is more beneficial because then your body has time to adapt and tone up the skin instead of it just hanging. just keep believing. you CAN do it.
