    I doubt you're the only one on here over 300lbs! I started at 248 and am currently down to 193. It is a tough road, but the support on this site (from what I can tell so far as I just joined!) is phenominal! Good luck to you and I'll be cheering you on!

    hello! it is never too late to get into shape. I was no 300 pounds but I was 250 pounds on new years. I lost 25 pounds so far. you can add me and I can help you get on track. the first month never over due it, dont even work out just take away soda and sugars like candy or cookies. you will lose 10 pounds in a month or 2 weeks just but taking away that. See your body as a car, the better fuel you put into it the better performance you will be in. So first you got to start eating healthy before you start working out, because if you rush it you just get tired grumpy and you wont have fun working out and will probably give up. I use to sleep all day and game all night now I have a lot more energy, I still struggle im the biggest one out of all of my friends, that doesnt bother me but i still have a very hard time keeping up with them in hikes. Hope this helped you out~!

    You are not the only one.

    I started my journey over a year ago, at 400lbs. I am now under 300 (just under!). It takes a lot of work and dedication, but the rewards are well worth it!!

    No, you aren't the only one. When I look at how much I need to lose to become "normal" I find it discouraging. So I don't think about it much, but take it one day at a time.

    If all goes according to my plans...I won't be a 300 pounder after this week...maybe a 299er...but not a 300. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Be patient, don't get too discouraged, and remember, you didn't gain all that in 60 days, so there is no way it's coming off in 60 days. I'm trying to stay consistent with a 1.5 to 2 lbs per week loss. It's not always the easy thing to do.

    Wow, that's fantastic. You're really dedicated, and it's also good to hear about long-term success. I've kept off 34 lbs over 3 years and have 70-95 to go. But when I read stories like yours, I realize, it can be done. So thanks.
