    Yep! Started off at 233.4 lbs, the heaviest I have ever been! No more! Going to tackle this once and for all! Good luck everybody! INGRID X
  • I started at 254lbs. but I'm only 5'4 so it shows big time. Anyways , I started this weight loss journey a month ago today and so far I've lost 15lbs. I'm a good motivator so friend me if you'd like.

    Hello everyone! I started at 298 lbs. I realized after many attempts over the years that it is simple math.......IT TRULY IS. The idea is to be in a calorie defecit and you will loose weight no choice about it. I do not have time to make super healthy lunches or dinner. Just to give you an idea, I basically live off Tim Hortons menu but ensure a caloric defecit (with exercise of course). Here I am 40 lbs. later! Feels good, be sure not to over complicate things.

    This is my first week at mfp. I started at 251.8. Tomorrow is my first official weigh in. I have been weighing every morning, though just to see how I am doing. As of this morning, I was down 6.6 pounds. I am thrilled to see everyone's great results. It gives me hope that I can do it too.When you are as big as I am (my heaviest ever) it seems overwhelming. But my husband works with a guy that lost 50 pounds in a year on mfp. So I am trying NOT to think about how far I have to go and just taking it one meal, one day at a time. I look forward to getting to know you all.

    Feel free to friend me as well.

    I started at 251 in January and am currently 218 working towards a goal weight of 190 (or lower). You are definitely not alone, and the are success stories of people who have started much higher as well.

    I started at 260 and if i don't get back on track and fast i am gonna be back there. Haven't been on scale in a minute i guessing i am back up to about 230. I am lacking motivation right now and need all the help and support i can get.
