    Started at 303. was on a great roll for a bit but have recently stopped going to the gym. Renovating a house was raking a toll on my joints and (yah it is an excuse) i was having a hard time finding time to go. Now that the kids are back in school and renovations are nearly done. I can get back to the task.

    I started at 350 and lost almost 60 lbs down to 293 in about 6 months. That was my low in april. I was 298 in June when I got married, and then unfortunately due to my husband being sick and in the hospital and new atmosphere/routine, I gained back up to 320 basically for lack of effort, but I am back at it and ready to reach my goal of 175 (give or take depending on how comfortable I am when I reach that point). It can be done with hardwork and determination/dedication which I lost there for a while, but today was a new day and the start of a new journey! IT CAN BE DONE!!

    I started my journey January 1st, 2012 @ 370lbs.

    I just weighed myself and I am now 296.8.
    It's not weigh in time yet for me yet so not logging it...so my ticker shows 72lbs lost so far still =)

    Started last June at 340+ now I'm around 307. I wasn't on track because of school in the past spring. I'm trying to get under 300's but my weight seems to fluctuate. :( My ultimate goal is anything under 200 the I'll change.

    I weighed in at 349.4 today; according to MFP, I have lost 16 lb over the past year. I am really frustrated.

    My breaking point was at 315 I could have easily been higher than that but I never weighed myself. I started changing my life in June of 2012 and this morning I weighed in at 261.5 I'm 5'5. I too still have a ways to go but it will breeze by before I know it. :-) Keep up the good fight and know that when you change your mind you change your life!
