    I started at 349 just over a year ago, and joined MFP a few weeks later. Now I'm slowly approaching the 199 mark and beyond. It's totally possible, and you feel so much better!

    I started at 330 and am now at 272. Living in the most healthy part of Canada I really felt like I was the only one over 300+!

    You can do this! :flowerforyou:

    like most of the others posting on here i will also say that you are not alone. i started here close to a year ago, i have no clue what my starting weight was when i started here, but i was at 535 when i decided to start losing weight back january of last year, so at this moment i am over 400 pounds still, and hopefully starting to lose again.

    I just wanted to respond to your intro. I think it is awesome that you want to lose weight and be healthier. But I'm sure you are already a great person. Don't ever let your weight influence how you feel you are as a human being....everyone deserves love and respect.

    Wow, I just joined this site today and yes I was over 300 lbs too when I started, getting very close to be under that mark.
    I must say there is a lot of encouragment from people on this site, and its great to hear that people have lost the weight. It helps keep me motivated.

    Definitely you are not alone-- my highest weight was over 300. I'm at 100 total pounds lost currently, going for at least 20 more before I reassess and decide if I am happy there or if I want to go for any more! It really is possible! There are many success stories here! Take heart! :heart:

    I started on this site last January weighing 375lbs, now I'm 275lbs and hoping to be less on weigh day tomorrow.

    Do have a read through some of the success stories, it's amazing how much weight people have lost using this site.



    Good luck!

    Nope, I"m currently hovering at 440, and was at 485 before I started working at bringing it down. Lots of times it feels like I"m all alone on here except for a couple men. Feel free to add me :)

    I started out at 290 a couple just over 2 months ago, definitely not alone! add me if you like :)

    I was at 280 when I decided to finally halt and check the triple chins out. Had I continued the path of eating 6000 calories a day, I would definitely have been close to 400 within a couple of months.

    So no, you're not alone and we're all here to support and encourage you!

    No you are not. I don't think the actual numbers are that important anyway. I think that we all share a common bond of wanting to get in better shape and that's why we are all here. For those of you with ugly attittudes, please stop it. That's just awful...and this is not the place to be bullying other people who are vulnerable.
