Hi There! My name is Dawn and I'm from Milwaukee. I started my journey in April of this year. To date I've lost 92 lbs. My goal weight WAS 199, but I think i might go down to 175. Not sure though. I'm 5'11 and I like having curves, so I will just wait and see what I look like once I get closer onderland.

It's so nice to have others, like myself, that need to lose a large amount of weight. it's NOt easy, and I;ve found support and motivation is really a major key in my success. I'm fairly new to MFP, I migrated from another weight loss site, so I'm still learning the ropes. Good luck everyone!!

Hello Everyone! My name is Catherine and I'm a 23 year old nurse in Clarksville, Tennessee. I actually started the 100+ lbs group because my goal was just 100 lbs (thinking it was an impossible goal), but now that I'm sticking to it and seeing results, I'm realizing my goals have grown a bit!

Hey folks! My name is Kristin and I'm a nursing student and full-time retail store manager in Birmingham, AL. When I moved to Birmingham in 2008 my weight was 340 pounds. I had moved here with my boyfriend (now husband) at the time and when we started talking about getting married I didn't want to look terrible in my wedding pictures so I KILLED myself in the gym and lost down to 275 pounds in 4 1/2 months. Then after being HAPPILY married and not having to worry about photos I gained ALL of it back... We have decided that it's time to start trying to have a baby, but I know that there's no way my back can handle this weight on top of carrying a child sooooo, here I am again. I started watching what I ate a few months before starting MFP so I lost down to 329 and then I joined MFP. Since joining MFP (4 weeks) I am now down to 311, but I have a LONG way to go. Hopefully we can all motivate each other and get this weight off!

Good luck everyone!! I know we can do it if we just stay motivated... It won't be easy, but nothing worth having ever is.

hi, my name is Nicole, I am just getting started in this group as well. currently I weigh around 315 -318 last time I weighed myself, here a couple of weeks ago. I am 5'4 and want to get down to whatever weight I can feel comfortable and healthy. My highest weight was 340, I had got down to 260 and then had another baby, so now I am starting over again. Going to be a long journey, but with God's help and support from friends, I know I can do it. We ALL can!!

Hi, I'm Jonnaliz.

Starting Weight: 350
Current Weight: 289.8

I don't really have a goal as of yet, but I think 150 would be a very healthy weight for me. I've actually never seen myself under 200 pounds since I was very small, so it's kind of weird, like slowly unwrapping a gift. I'm taking some time off of school to devote most of my time to my health, and I think it's one of the best decisions I've made.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Melissa. I started this journey in June of 2011. My starting weight (and all time heaviest) was 371 lbs and I ultimately want to get down to 140-150lbs. My current weight is 296 lbs. I really want to lose another 20 lbs before Christmas which would put me at 100 lbs lost in 7 months but I'm not sure if that will be possible since my weekly losses are starting to slow down a bit. I had a horrible knee surgery a year and a half ago which was my wake-up call to get up and do something. I am very determined and motivated. I workout 6 days a week, used to be 7 until my trainer demanded that I take a day off. I work with a trainer 6 weeks on (3 times a week) and then 6 weeks off. He keeps me focused and motivated.

You CAN lose 100 by then! I started March 7th and I wanted to lose 100 by Oct. 16th - my 30th birthday. I actually hit that goal on October 2nd and that was just shy of 7 months!

BrandyRelaxing

When I started my journey in January 2011, I was 339 (of course, that wasn't my highest weight, which was around 360 back in 2008). My current goal weight is 199, and if I can get there, I'll look to get to my healthy BMI which is 120-150.

Hello, my name is Gary & I joined this site in March, 2011. My starting weight was 665lbs:sad: :blushing: . With the help & support of family & friends(mfp one included) my weight is now down to 448lbs:noway: I hope to reach my goal weight of around 250(with some muscle bulk) by the end of 2012. Good luck to everyone!:drinker:

mamasyd

I guess, by way of introduction, I should really refer you to my profile page. That tells a bit more of my story than I can take the time to elaborate here. Even better, check out this link for a more detailed explanation:

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=237111879641611

My starting weight was 385. I'm now only 16 pounds from my goal. It's almost surreal to say that. My starting BMI was 65.1 and my goal will be within the normal range - 24.5. When I reach goal I will have lost over 62% of my body weight.

Awesome job, mamasyd!:flowerforyou:

Agreed! Very inspirational! My starting BMI was 68.3!

It's going to be a long journey and due to mental health issues I'm taking it slow.

For the most part I'm pretty quiet when it comes to posting and I'm just refocusing after a recent conscious leap off the wagon.

HEY WE ARE ALMOST THE EXACT SAME! just 4 pounds starting weight changes our starting weights! only other difference, is i'm a little farther down towards the goal.....but i'm sure you will be here VERY soon!

gmaanneliese

I can't say for sure what my starting weight was because I was too afraid/ashamed/scared to get on a scale. My best guestimate is 375. For purposes here I use 350 as starting weight. I started my journed on June 6, 2010. I am currently four pounds away from Onderland (almost 150 pounds). No surgery, meds, gymics. Pure hard work and a whole lot of faith. My goal is 205. But looking at my current sagging skin, I'm wondering if I will be carrying extra weight around in the form of skin. Won't know for sure til I get there.

Glad to be a part of this group.
