I'm roughly 5'8 and I started at 302 lbs. At my heaviest, I'm pretty sure I weighed about 320.

TravisBurns

Started at 354lbs in June. My weight this week has fluctuated from 310-319.
so between 36-45 pounds lost since June.
I always get around pretty well for my size. So the weight tends to come off easy at first.

Yep! I started out 323 in July 2011. I am now 217 and plugging along. I love it! I love my community of friends. I have made some amazing new friendships here, and have a ball! A year seemed like a long time when i started, and now, I look forward to another year! Even if I hit my goal, I am not going anywhere. These folks are my FB!

Hi, I'm Laura. I started at 330 and set out to lose half my body weight. I'm going to lose 165 lbs... 14 down and 151 to go! I did the math... If I can lose 3 lbs a week from now until 8/24/13 I will be my goal weight (165) on my wedding day! I hope to be at goal or as close as possible to it that I can get.

I also joined the 100+ group but I'm new on here so I don't have a lot of friends yet. Feel free to add me! I get on fitness pal every day. Good luck to you!

I started out at 355 in February 2011. My BP was out of control, and my knees and hips were so painful that I couldn't even sit in my desk chair for more than a few minutes at a time without having to get up. The hardest part was starting out at all. I finally did and slowly built momentum.

You can do it but you have to be really focused.

Ouckat2

Awesome, I cant wait to lose that much!!! and more!!!!! Be proud!

I started at 352 in January and I'm down 71 pounds. Always looking for friends to motivate and be motivated by!

My highest recorded weight was 333. I'm sure it was higher I just don't have a number. I started recording my journey at 318. My last weigh-in was 256. Lost 17 using MFP. Goal weight is 195. My weightloss has been slow and steady but I've been able to keep my weight down for about 2 years. I wish you all the best!

bethb03

Started on MFP in March weighing in at 371 although my highest weight was a whopping 395, getting off some medication helped me get down to the 371. Been overweight my entire life and for the first time in my life I'm DETERMINED to change. It can be done as you can see by all the reply's you have received
Feel free to add me!

My highest weight was 350. Not my finest moment, but it's so much fun to see that scale go down. Of course, it's so much hard work. But I can't wait to be under 300. I'm gonna seriously throw a party! HAHA!

Hey guys,
re-starting my fitness journey now. I was always overweight as a child and in the second year of my BA, I decided that I would join the Canadian Armed Forces and turn my fitness-life around. I worked hard to turn things around and I succeeded but unfortunately I ended up seriously injuring my back during basic training. It ended my career before it began and I couldn't really work out like I did before and I did regain every single pound and then some that took me years to lose.

I am now re-starting the journey at 326lbs and looking to go back down to 240lbs where I am much, much more comfortable. The health benefits cannot be overstated, especially with the injured back. The problem I have is that I can't do FUN exercise. I am stuck doing the more mundane, low impact stuff that pales in comparison to my old workouts. MFP will, therefore, have to be the most important element of this process as I cut calories and drop weight.

Good luck to all of those who are getting on this challenge too.

Matt

It's great to know that I'm not starting out alone in the 300's! I know that there are many people around the weight that I am but to see how some of you have succeeded or are in the journey gives me that push and I don't even know anyone!!! Thanks for the friend request and the stories. I was ready before but it's game time now! Yayyy Team PM5!

yep 350 now 310 im pretty happy about this :-)
