    Believe me, you ARE NOT the big girl, I've lost 82.5 and still have 17 to go, You are starting out weighing less than I do now after my huge loss, In this case, you would be considered one of the small ones, take it from someone who knows!

    My overall goal is to lose 101 pounds. That would let me say I am 199. If I follow the "ideal weight scale" I have to lose 130. I haven't been that small since 6th grade. I have a large frame as well,so I figure I am going to lose until I feel comfortable.

    I am looking to lose about the same amount as you - And although my profile pic ,might not look like it, that is because I don't seem to keep around too many recent fat girl pics! I'm just hoping to one day look close to my profile pic again!! :wink: Feel free to add me!

    From starting weight of 201, I want to lose somewhere between 75 and 85 pounds. Already down 20. I am only 5'1" and am carrying around a lot of extra weight.

    Oh I am originally from Oregon. I miss it and all my family and friends a lot. I have lived in the deep south though for the last 3 years. Feel free to add me for support and encouragement.

    Thanks so much, everyone, for the friendly welcome, advice, and for sharing your story. You guys are fabulous! I really am blown away by how many people posted a nice, friendly reply to my entry.

    So, now that I know about the "fat girl angle"....who knows, maybe I can soon post my pic. :blushing:

    I Love LOVE LOVE Oregon! I live in BC and we go there on road trips as often as we can! I have about 35 lbs to lose to get to the higher end of "normal" according to all the charts, but I'd like to end up with a decent body fat % where i can see a bit of definition. This is a LONG WAYS away for me!
    My current plan is just staying under my calorie goals, hydrating enough and doing Insanity and still being alive at the end of each workout! :-)
    Friend request sent!!

    Welcome to MFP!

    I started out with a goal of about 60 pounds, so you're definitely not the "big girl on the block." All of us are here for the same reasons: to change how we look and feel for better overall well-being (whether that means gaining, losing, or maintaining weight for some).

    I'm about halfway through my journey, but feel free to add me! And good luck, by the way! :flowerforyou:

    re: skinny profile pics - it could also be a picture of who inspires them or the shape they aspire to.
