My entire life I had given up on myself. i was always the fat kid and I hit a point where I thought i was just destined to live with it. It spiraled out of control after highschool as I hit 300 and kept climbing. I stayed many years between 310 and 315 and i honestly thought that was as good as id ever get. Recently when I hit 334 I knew I had to try something. Im 26 and at that moment I saw my life flash before my eyes. So many thoughts of what could happen to me health wise flashed before my eyes. On top of the fact that I want more than anything to have a baby and I am pretty sure my weight is what has been holding me back the past 7 monthes since I have been off the pill. I knew then In order to achieve my goals I had to get my *kitten* in gear. I tried for a few weeks eating less....not counting calories and went no where. Then I found mfp......and for once.......something started working. I started to lose weight. I made friends with people who understood me. One particularly special. All of them understood me and understood my insecurities because they themselves went through them every day. I finally felt like I belonged somewhere. 30 days ago I weighed in at 304.5. I untimatly want to be around 180- 200 but I was told by my peers to make small goals. So I made my first one.......To be under 300 by nov 1st. This morning I weighed in......299! I know its still just a step in my long road but its a start. I havent been less than 300 since highschool. I have been without a car for the past two weeks and feel I could definatly have been a little lower if I had been able to get to the gym as often as i had been going. however Its still a huge accomplishment and now that my car is finally mine again Im pushing full steam ahead to keep the numbers dropping. I finally feel like I am accomplishing something with my health and for the first time honestly believe that I can achieve my goal even though it will take awhile. I am not doing this for society or my friends or even my husband.....Im doing this to invest something in MY future and MY self image. Every day I get slightly more confident in my appearance and am slightly less ashamed of myself. Thank you to all my dear friends who have supported me through all of this. I truly could not have done it without you. TO all of you....YOU CAN DO THIS. Feel free to add me if you like. I would love to support you on your journey as I have been supported on mine.

Thank you so much for sharing I needed this today!

Keep moving forward and you will be rewarded. I started at 362 and just weighed in at 246 a year later. My goal is 170 and it was hard to imagine to weigh less than 300 a year ago and I am now only 76lbs from my total goal. I have weighed more than 300lbs for over 19 years so I can assure you, you will succeed. One day at a time and one meal at a time. Eat to Live and NOT live to eat is my motto.
