Hello, I'm Jeri. I've been "back on the wagon" for nearly two weeks now and I'm ready to be serious about my weight loss. (again!) Two years ago I went from 415 to 350 and managed to gain it back.
But that's in the past! I'm 11lbs down in the last two weeks. That's a pretty nifty start right? Swimming is going to be my secret weapon. The fact that I'll even get in a swimsuit shows my dedication!
I would absolutely love to make some supportive friends who are active on MFP. Keep up the good work everyone!

Hi . . . I'm Tonya, 31 years old, and from Mississippi. When I started using My Fitness Pal at the beginning of May, I weighed at least 405 pounds. More, really, because my scale couldn't weigh me and I got "Error" every time I stepped on it. I've lost 31.4 pounds so far (I'm at 373.6 now) . . . I have about 200 more to go. I want to be able to have kids some day, and I currently can't because of hormonal issues related to being so obese. I topped 200 pounds in junior high, and I've been on blood pressure medication since I was 18. I want to feel well instead of constantly drug out and tired . . . and being able to buy cute clothes without using mail order will be a fringe benefit, too!0

Hi I'm Becky
SW 450 --- It hurts to say that.
CW 338--- Feels a little better to say that!
GW ??---- I have no idea. I've never been thin so I have no idea where I should be. I want to be healthy and live a long life.
So that's me!0 -
Hey everyone! So glad to have found this group!
My name is Marie and I am a nurse in TN. I am currently working private duty with a contract for a year, and am hoping to be 100 or so pounds lighter by next summer so I can go back to working in a facility.
SW Feb 2012 - 456.8 pounds BMI 76
Current weight - 432 BMI 72.9
Goal for my bday (9/12) 415 BMI 69.1
Goal for Christmas 375 BMI 62.4
Ultimate goal - 130 (total of 326.8 pounds lost when finished) BMI 21.6
I am married with 4 kids: 2 19 year old college freshmen, an autistic high school senior and a 4th grader. Also providing round the clock care in my home for 1 parkinsons/dementia patient.
I started McDougall diet halfway a couple months ago which started my weight loss slowly. August 1 I made a commitment to the diet and am starting to feel better and move more.
I have been doing chair aerobics dvds by Paul Eugene (awesome way to get started) and have recently gotten to the point where I feel like I can start doing regular aerobics and ordered some The Firm workout dvds from ebay.0 -

Hi There!!! Nice to see there is more then just me with a large amount of weight to lose. I really need some encouragement. I am a over eater and lazy. I know how to eat right I just don't because it is easier not to. But, I NEED to. I am tired of feeling like crap all the time and missing out on life because of my weight. I would like some friends in the same boat I am.
Thanks All!!0 -
Hi,
I'm Niki (27) I've been trying to lose weight but never been very serious. So starting today is my new begging, and my quote is new body, mind, and soul. I am surrounded with negative people at work who tease me, who don't like my colorful joking, but I will not let them get me down! If I lose the weight I will look, feel, and begin to play with my daughter the way I should, and I hope these bipolar and mood swings shed with my weight. Sorry about the long intro.0 -

I was fluctuating betwen 310- 320 at my worst in Jan 2012. I carry a lot of fluid
Now I am fluctuating between 294--300.
the Ins tables say I should be 108--147
I will be super ecstatic to be below 170 thats my first long range goal
Short range goal is 10% of my total weight every 3 months. I am almost done with the 1st increment.. I hope to achieve the 2nd increment before New years.Day. Will you pray for me? And I will for all of you.0 -
