I joined in the hopes that I can help others. I was 318 pounds a little over a year ago and now I am at 196, more healthy than I have been in years. It can be done!0

I have been on yoyo diets most of my adult life, some with temporary success. Iam currently weighing 316 pounds down fro 336.3 when i decided to try MFP so far this is great im losing weight the healthy way without starving myself to loose it. Iam very impressed by the weight loss acheivement by many of the members and want to thank them for sharing it with me.0

What a great group to stumble upon. Just what I needed! My name is Kaitlyn, I'm 21 and have been using MFP for nearly 8 weeks. I started at 315.5 have lost 23 pounds. I have always been the heaviest in my family and I decided that I am ready to change that. A few years ago I lost 60 pounds and weighed 200. A lot of things happened and I slipped up. I gained 115.5. I am hoping to weigh 200 in one year from now for a wedding that I am attending. I have set smaller milestones, and if I don't get to that goal weight, I will be ok with it. But I'm taking this day by day and if anyone wants to add me, then go for it! I love motivating people and having some motivation myself wouldn't be so bad
Good luck to everyone! 0 -
Hi all, I am Lisa. I'm a 36yo wife and a mother to a soon to be 6yo son and soon to be 4yo twin girls. I'm currently hovering around 295 & am miserable. I can't run with my kids, I can't play on the floor with them & I can't play on playgrounds with them. I've started walking to pick my son up from school, so that's a mile of walking every day & I've also started a Zumba class once a week (hoping to get that bumped up to twice a week).
I'm stuck in the land of knowing I need to lose the weight but am still not making the right food choices. I must work on that or I won't get anywhere. It's going to be tough, but if I work hard on it I'm sure I can achieve it.0 -
My Name is Ben. I am about 360. I really started putting on the weight in college. I have been married 4 years and when I moved back in September 2010 I started to put on weight when I left a job where I walked 8 miles a day. Stress and life and poor eating habits. My wife and I want kids so I want to be around to see them. I don't want to gain anymore weight by binge eating. My goal is 250. 2 pounds a week for a year will get me there. I am looking for friends and support on this website.0

Hi all. I'm a 351 lb mother of 2 young girls (3 & 6 years). My highest weight was about 370. I am currently awaiting a call from the insurance caseworker on when I will continue the process of getting weight loss surgery. I have a meeting with a nutritionist, mental health, and with the surgeon left to go (I already went through 12 weeks of classes and tons of labs/tests).
I was in the high 200's before the birth of my 2nd daughter in 2008, but I changed jobs when she was 4 months old from a stand all day/move all day job as a pharmacy technician, to an office job where I sit for 8 hours (then 2 more hours for commute time). So by the time I would get home, I was pretty much exhausted. Thus the weight gain. But, I decided that I needed some help that was more than just diet/exercise. Thankfully my insurance is awesome and the whole process for the weight loss surgery will cost me nothing.0 -
I started out at 385 lbs. My current weight is 342. I'm 5'4" and a female.
My name is Stacy and I'm very happy to find a group with people in it who know what it's like to be over 300 lbs. To be honest we have concerns and issues that people with only 100 lbs or less to lose will never know or understand. It's nice to have a group like this around where people KNOW where you're coming from. lol
Please feel free to add me to your friend list. I could use more friends. 0 -
Hello everyone!
My name is Rivka and I've traveled around the sun 37 times. For the last 11 times I've been obese and over 200 pounds. I've been over 300 for the last 4 years. Before I used to manage pretty well but after my 2nd child I've been struggling.
So now is time to go around the sun with less weight.
Starting weight = 344
Current weight = 327
Goal weight = 150-1450 -

Hello everyone! My name is Cassie, and I am 27 years old...28 in 4 days! I am a mother of 4...My oldest daughter is 10, my only son is 6, and I gave birth to twin girls 9 months ago. I am new to MFP, but NOT to weight loss. I have lost 80lbs, TWICE, and gained it back both times. Very disgusted with that, but it is what it is. I am currently at my highest weight ever, 327.4lbs. I will be calorie counting and cutting down on carbs since I am a PCOS lady. I look forward to getting to know you!0
