    Im in.

    Started at 312 5/13/14
    Down to 290.4 today-22lbs

    Headed for 180.

    Long road to shovel, but I am chipping away & thrilled with the results.

    FTW37 can vouch for that :)

    Feel free to add me :). I'm in the same boat. I started off at 325 lbs and I'm currently 279. Hoping to get to 165 lbs.

    Hi Dorian, I started at 342lb on 01.01.14 and still going strong! Had some ups and downs but I'm back on a wagon again! Good luck, Magda

    Hey! I understand needing accountability. I was 453. But now I am 382. I really didn't think I could ever get to where I am. I know it's not close to being where I need to be. But I will get there. I am determined! I am in this for the long haul! I'll send you a friend request. If anyone else wants to add me that's fine too!

    I'm very similar to you in our starting and ending weight! Feel free to add me! I've been doing this about 3 weeks now and so far so good! I am looking to friend people who have 100-200 pounds to lose so we can motivate each other. :)

    The biggest thing for me was seeing what I ate and accounting for all the calories. Once I bad the myfitness app I was just shocked at how much I was eating.
    It doesn't take vigorous exercise I suggest just going for a 30 minute walk each day. Start it off easy.

    The biggest things that helped me were: walking every day, watching calories and cooking all my meals at home. It's very easy to eat your daily allotment of calories in one meal at a restaurant.
    Once you hit that plateau you have to change it up a bit. For me I just increased my workout. I did more walking and tae bo at least twice a week.
    Also remember the scale doesn't always reflect weight lost as you may be losing inches off your waist.
    My scale didn't budge for 3 weeks but I could tell my pants were getting looser.
    There are thousands of people doing this so don't ever feel alone.
    We can give you encouragement to continue on.
