    I'm almost out of the 300's! My highest weight ever was 360lbs back in the summer of 2011, and boy did I ever do a 360! I was using livestrong's app for tracking, but i find i like fitpal better after a recommendation from a friend to join in April.
    A group of us do a 12 week biggest loser style competition to keep us accountable, and now in my 3rd round of competition I'm at 302 pounds. I do cardio workouts (treadmill mostly) 6-7 days a week and am starting weight /resistance training this week.
    I'll redo my goal once i hit 250, but eventually I'd like to be under 200lbs.

    Anyone can add me!

    Started here at 354lbs and currently just a little below 308lbs. My goal is 180 which is big for my height still ( 5'2" ) but it's a lot more realistic to me right now than, say, 130 or something. Plus who knows what I'll look like then? I may look just fine. Right now I'll just be happy for the day I see a 2 in front of the other numbers again. Baby steps.

    I was at 322 in December and kind of malingered into this effort slowly, but soon gained some speed as I saw things beginning to work for me and am finding it easier to eat better and exercise more as I see the results. I would love to have more pals on MFP. Although I am now easing out of the range you requested, I started there recently and can really relate after carrying that weight for 15-20 years (not even sure, this was not something I ever wanted to think about as I felt I had no control having been heavy all my life - I was a husky jeans kid - :wink: ).

    I was 335 in November and now am 274. After being turned down by two life insurance companies I thought it is time to do something about this. It is hard work but good work, good feeling work. Keep it up everyone, I would totally be open to you guys adding me. Honestly this journey has been 3 big helps to it. 1. Myfitness pal (moderation in what I eat), 2. Zumba 3x's a week, 3. Body Pump 3x's a week. Keep up the good work everyone!

    Started at 352 with my fitness pal and am now at 322 and working hard toward my goal of 250.My high was 372 and that was motivation enough to start to do something! first Weight watchers, but I stalled at 350 and didn't like the new point system. Then found this great app. now I feel i can do it.
