    I started at 315 and am down to 292. Hubs is somewhere above 335 (that's the highest our scale registers), he's also very motivated to get it off.

    Good luck to all of you 300+ pounders. My highest weight was 340 and now I'm 135. I had gastric bypass surgery almost 4 years ago. It saved my life.

    You guys are all so inspirational. The heaviest I ever was was 297. June 2010 I started losing weight again and started at 286. I dropped down to 213.5lbs by August 2011. Since then I had rebounded to 230. I've maintained at 230 for 5 or 6 months.

    I like to focus on the positives. I've been able to maintain and not gain. This allowed me to get ready to lose weight again. When I was motivated. Yeah it sucks that I gained almost 20lbs, but I am still weighing less than I did two years ago. And I need to focus on the positives and move forward. Not look back, unless it's to say "damn, I'm still smaller than I was then".

    Also, I found that after 230, it was much less about the "number" on the scale, and much more about fitness and inches. Just my personal experience :). If I stayed 230, but continued to lose inches, then who am I to argue ? :P
