    I started at 340, right now I'm down about 20 lbs. Ultimately I'd love to be 130-150, but we'll see how it goes. Congrats on your amazing loss so far, you are amazing!!!

    Congrats on the weight loss you have achieved so far :-). I have 200+ to lose as well. I started at 371 and my goal is 150. I started in June and I am currently at 296. Feel free to add me. I am curious to know how you have lost your 163 lbs. Way to go!

    Wow! you are more than half way there. You only have 100 pounds more to lose! Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment! I have 258 pounds to lose. I started at 392 and have lost 40 pounds. The road is long, but it's ok. I'm just living. The time would pass anyway. I just happen to be eating better. I'm not deprived by any means, just eating a lot more normally now. I'm just grateful to finally be on this road! In the past I was always so all or nothing. If I wasn't being perfect on whatever eating plan, then I was eating out of control. So I was either losing or gaining. No slow progress for me. This is the first time in my life I'm making inch by inch progress. I'm so thankful. I've been on track since August. One day at a time.

    I started at 325 and different sites say that my ideal weight range should be 111-150, so I MAY have over 200 pounds to lose, it depends on how I look and feel the closer I get to my goal weight. Considering my mother and sister's weights when they were thinner (I never was), I think that my goal weight will be closer to 120, so that's 205 pounds to lose. I'm down 83, but I've had to slow down my progress because I've developed kidney problems--I'm really scared about this, too. They've done all sorts of tests and still don't know what it is and now they are thinking that it might be early kidney disease. I can't let it get me down or discourage me --I keep telling myself that it is in its early stages, so I can still live a normal life and get it under control.

    Is anyone else trying to lose weight while dealing with kidney issues? Do you have any advice?
