This morning I weighed in at 299.2. I haven't been under 300lbs since I 17 years old. In recent years I had bounced between 340 and 350. Last May at 343 I started a couch to 5k program, ran three 5Ks, and started mountain biking. I got down to about 320 before the weather got cold and I fell off the wagon. Fast forward to 4 weeks ago when I started using MFP religiously and weighed in at 318. Now I 've finally reached the goal I've had for years. I still have a long road ahead, but my ultimate goal is around 225. I'm 6'2" for reference. I just can't wait for the weather up here in Wi to warm up so I can start cardio again!

Excellent job! Best of luck as you go forward - I have an easier time of it in the summer, too - better fruits and veggies and easier to work out outside!0

Good for you...that "under 300" lbs. has to be a major achievement after so many years. I have no doubt that the new motivation that comes with it will carry you all the way. Good luck to you.0

this is so close to my heart.......i am consistently hovering right around 300 lbs.....got under 300 for a couple of weeks, then just hit it again this week.....trying not to freak out about it, though - - i told myself i did not want to ever see a 3 in front of my weight again.
big congrats to you!0 -

Anyone who can run 5 k at a weight in the 300's is pretty amazing in my book. Very awesome. Gives hope to us all.0
