I haven't yet met/seen anyone on MFP who is as overweight as I am.
I got weighed on the official scale today and my BMI is 61. It was 64 at the beginning of the year.
Can any MFP member top this?

Mine was at 38.8 last year and is now at 24.4.
But, that is not the reason for my reply. I went to check out your profile and the words "Want My Life Back" and "I need to escape from this prison." really hit home with me! My profile does not speak of it (my blog does), but I kept myself in a self imposed "prison", spanning over the last 5+ years. I only began to break free last June. I describe this as "taking my life back", literally.
I wish you all the luck in the world. I know you can do it. Many people tell me that is is so hard to change and lose weight after 50, I'm almost 56. I do not agree. I think I can do anything that I think I can. And, I think I can't do anything that I think I can't! You can too!0 -
My BMI is 49.7 which makes me morbidly obese on the BMI scale, altogether I need to lose 140lbs well done on losing some weight and getting your BMI down!0

I can't top it but I'm close. Think my last time around I was at 63 or so. I'm 5'1 and weigh 195. Sixty pounds to go!0

My BMI was at 55 a year ago. Now, I have a BMI of 33.0

OMG... I really AM the most overweight person on this site.
I find that rather lonely AND scary!0 -

Only a handful of people out of probably a million or more responded. I highly doubt you are the largest. And really, IT DOESN'T MATTER!!! You are here, trying to change your life. That's what matters.0

I started at 35 and now bounce between 20-21. I lost almost 80lbs over 18 months (July 2011 - January 2013) and if I can do it, anyone really can!
Just reach out to people as this site is full of inspiration, motivation and support Good luck!0 -
Don't let it get you down. and Don't worry about comparing yourself to others. You can do this! Don't worry about the numbers, make small changes that bring you towards being a healthier person and the numbers will take care of themselves!0

I do agree, I think there are a few people out there around or above your BMI on here. I was pretty close. I think I started at 54.5.
Great work that you have got some weight off. Keep up the good work. Add me as a friend if you like.0 -
It's not where you start, it's where you finish.0

I'd instead call it motivation, and you've got an amazing compilation of folks here to help you through it.
Keep your eye on the prize!!!!0 -
Not me but at least it's going in the right direction x0

I started out at a BMI of 64..I KNOW there are others out there who have the same BMI or close to it...but as others have said..it's where you end up that matters most!0

You are definitely not alone. Mine is at 58.1 and three weeks ago it was at 59.5. The only thing I have going for me is a couple of extra inches in height. I am trying to free myself from my self imposed prison that I have been in for 20 years. I don't really know what took me so long, but I am determined now to do it. I want to live long enough to meet my grandchildren. Friend me if you want.0
