    I am over 400lbs (not exactly sure by how much, need to get weighed by a specialist) and just one week into my journey. I would be happy to have someone with a similar journey ahead to support and share with.

I love a great sense of humor! I have a long road ahead of me, and need a good network of friends. :heart:

    I started out at 308lbs in August 2012 and I am currently 293.8. I have thyroid disease so the weight loss is extremely slow. Some days I wonder if it's ever going to happen for me. This thread gives me hope. I do Zumba 5-6 days a week. I would like to weigh 199lbs by the end of the year. I will be 30 early this year so I really want to make some life changes so I can start enjoying my life.

    I started at 330 nearly 7 months ago. I started jogging at 300 lbs. I am down 60 lbs and I'm officially 1/3 the way to my goal of losing 180 lbs.

    GW 150
    current goal: 255
    ambition: to run a 10k

    Anyone who wants to friend me, feel free. But only if you are serious, you log in daily, and you aren't a crybaby. Cuz this weightloss business takes real dedication and it isn't for sissies.

    Based on the number of people who replied to this thread you are not alone here. I never realized so many started out their journey being 300 pounds or more. My highest was 497 and over many years I have gotten down to what I am now 364. I started again this year so my ticker only show the pounds I lost so far this year. It is a long road especially when you have other medical conditions but I know we can all DO IT! I am looking for friends so OP or anyone else please feel free to send me a friends request. I need all the help and support I can get.
