Never reached 400 but was pretty close

Height - 6'2
Start weight - 350+ (lost a bit before I first recorded it)
Current - 237
TShirt size before 4XL
After/during - XL
Jean before - 50
After/during - 42 (although I think I will need a 40 in a few weeks)

Goal is 200, although I would be happy with 210. Would like to get in to the 30's in terms of waist and as long as I can shop at regular shops I don't mind what the T-Shirt size is, L would be fine.

I should say I'm in the UK and sizes are a little smaller here. So an XL here would roughly be the same as an L in the US.

CyberEd312

Height - 6'1
Start weight - 560
Current - 257
TShirt size before 7/8 X
After/during - 2 X but still wear 3X to workout in..
Jean before - 78 inch waist
After/during - 36-38 inch waist

Goal is another 20 lbs. off then skin surgery will take another 20-25 lbs. off so I should be around 210 lbs. ish at my goal weight...

carpp107

Height - 6' 6"
Start Weight- 321 lbs.
Current Weight- 234 lbs.

Start Shirt SIze- XXXLT
Current Size- LT

Start Jean Size- 44 waist
Current Jean Size- 34 waist

Goal now is to put on muscle....10-12 pounds, then shred back down to 235-240.....

lacroyx

Height - 6'3

Start weight - 480's I never got an exact measurement. Doctor had to use counter weights. I was close to 500 lbs.
Current - 313 goal is for 200-220 range. lowest I ever got down to was during my junior year in high school, I was 237.

TShirt size before 5/6 xlt
After/during - at the moment 2XLT. I have found some brands that fit that are 2XL. I still mostly stick to big & tall since I hate lifting my arms over my head and flashing the ol' belly button :laugh:

Jean before - 56-30
After/during - 44/42-32 It's werid for me. 44's are getting too loose I need a belt. 42 are just a wee bit tight. I can squeeze into them but it's tight. It just depends on the brand. I defintely can't fit into slim. I have tree trunks for legs.

my weight loss has slowed down alot. I used to average 10-15 lbs a month but now I average 5-6 lbs. I am in no rush. I'll get there when I get there.

I just started on here i am 6'3" and i am around 400 pounds so all these stories are of great help and inspiration to me.

Shirt size is 3/4xlt
Pants size is 52/32

current goal weight is to be under 300 and then from there decide where i need to go from there.

Yikes!

Don't change your body...just change the label. That's pretty much where we are at right now in this country.

Age: 35
Height: 6'2"
Starting Weight: 5/6/12 - 436 lbs.
This morning: 8/4/12 - 375 lbs.
41 pounds lost so far.

I picked the "Lose 2 pounds per week" plan. Lately, I have been losing 4 or 5 per week.

MFP starting calories around 2700 per day
Have weened myself down to 1900 per day

Surprisingly, I can be satisfied with only eating 1900 calories per day. It's all a matter of picking the right foods. I have been making allot of homemade soups. They really fill me up, which is good, because I still have a big appetite. I have even had days where I came in a hundred calories under.

I have started taking Sunday as sort of a cheat day. It's typically when I get together with family and end up having a big meal. I don't go crazy, but I do let myself go over a bit. I hasn't hurt me yet.

If you are interested, feel free to add me. Thanks!

I'm currently on a 3,000 calorie diet but I find it hard to meet that since cutting soda out of my life. I stay away from sweets, soda ( regular and diet ) and Items that contain aspartame or artificial sweeteners.

Thanks for sharing.

vadid37

Height 6'0"
SW: 335
CW: 283
GW: 225
Shirts before: Some 3XL, but starting to need 4XL to be comfortable
Shirts now: Still some 3XL because I am cheap, but new shirts are 2XL
Pants before: 48/30 (stretchy waist of course)
Pants now: 42/30 with a belt

I don't see the results in the mirror, but the clothes situation is making it the most obvious. I love being able to shop for clothes that I like as opposed to settling on clothes that fit. My goal weight will be the lowest I've been since high school, but I will definitely reevaluate and plan new goals. I think ultimately I'd like to be in the 190 to 200lb range (which seemed impossible 4 months ago).
