    Hello,
    I'm 5'11, started @ 240 pounds and now I am @ 230 pounds. If you keep up with the calories and walk you too will see results. I have an 8 month old and need to lose this baby weight. STAY STRONG
    :bigsmile:

    I also have an 8 month old! I'm at 244 now...I haven't been walking cause it's so cold, and I've been lazy about my calories the past week. But I've been doing zumba....so here's to restarting my motivation!

    Hey there. I started Jan. 27 @ 238 lbs. I am 6' tall. I am down to 224 as of today, Feb. 29.

    You can do it, eat a bit less, exercise a bit more, drink lots of water! Simple as that.

    for all of the posts I have seen here and no I have not read them all, it seems to me that I might be the heaviest starter to comment, coming in at 313 pounds, from Brisbane, Australia..

    over the years my weight has been pretty high, with a significant drop 2 years ago, and now I am at my largest I have ever been in my life..

    So no, you are not the only one of us starting out at a high level of weight, there are many of us, and it is not that hard to do,
    you must have patience, none of us gained this weight over night and it wont go away overnight,
    remember this is not a diet, this is a correction of lifestyle...
    :-)

    I've wanted to lose weight for a while and I think with the help of MFP, I can actually do it this time :) I've struggled with my weight for a while and I've decided it's time for me to change that.
    I think my starting weight is around 246, which isn't definite because I was last weighed 2-3 weeks ago at the doctor's office and I don't own a scale (but I really should invest in one aha). I'm 5'7" and I'd like to be 160-170.
    I'd love to have some people add me as friends and get some support, and of course, be supportive of all your goals. It would mean so much to me.

    I'm 5'8ish and my highest weight was 246...

    I had been on and off mfp for a couple of years and nothing really stuck. This past september, it was like a light switch was turned on and I actually stuck to a healthier lifestyle. I found some activities I really liked, and found I really didn't need food as much as I thought!

    It's been a LONG process, but since the beginning of October, I've lost 25 lbs....I'm hoping to hit another 25 by the summer, but I've learned that the more pressure I put on myself, the higher chance I give up!

    Let's just say I am definitely in that range and am not proud of it either :-(...But now that I know I'm not alone we can support each other. My weight is always up and down especially when you're over 45 and I'm sick about it. I just take one day at a time and have found this site very helpful with counting calories and that's been very encouraging. Just stick with it as long as you can and keep up with your calorie count....That's most important because it tells everything you put into yourr body. I found that I'm not losing weight because my calorie count is off, and hopefully uising Fitness pal will help get me back on track....By the way, I'm only 5'6" so I feel U LOL
