    I started at 233 on July 4th, 2011. It doesn't come off in a day, but it will come off.

    I'm 5'3" and started a little lower than that but definitely in the neighborhood. Started just before the holidays :noway: and 3 1/2 months later I'm down over 25 lbs. My goal is, no matter what I weigh, to wear cut-off jean shorts and a tanktop on my beach vacation in September, and be comfortable doing so...7 1/2 months to go! :smile:

    Best of luck to you. I am one of the laziest people I know, but If I can do it using MFP, anyone can!

    Heaps of us here! I'm 218 at the moment, down 28lb from starting, with another 26 to go to get to my first goal. I'll probably be aiming for another 10-20 after that. I'm 5'8".

    Hi, I'm 5'7"and currently 247 lbs. I was 288 at the end of October 2011. I've only just started using MFP again but it is a great way to track your intake and be inspired. Good Luck!

    my starting weight on 2-10-12 was 258 went to dr today for b12 shot and weigh in and was at 250. i walked out very upset and disappointed that i did not lose more. Just felt i should have seen a bigger lose. But as the day has gone by i know that that it is all good and it did not get put on in two weeks and will not come off in two weeks. but came home and had a great salad for lunch instead of letting my defeat get the best of me

    I started on Ash Wednesay at 246. My goal is to loose at least 100 lbs. Anybody have any tips? For lent I gave up all the "bad" things, fried foods, chocolate, booze....
    Exercise is a BAD word that I wash my mouth out with chocolate. Someone sent this to me I just had to share!

    You're not alone. :) I'm 5'6" and I just started yesterday at 233. I want to lose 100 pounds before I say I'm done. I have quite the road ahead of me, and I'm definitely going to need some motivation to get there...

    Anyone willing to help me or in need of encouragement yourself, feel free to add me!
