    Started out at 370 on January 1, 2012. Weighed in today at 271; one pound to go before I get to crow!

    This site will do it for you if you let it!

    I started out at 380 that was June 6 2011. Now I'm at 324 and have about 24 more pounds to meet my first goal of 300.

    I started at 405 on July 18th of last year. I am at 258 now. This site is a life saver. Log everything. If you cheat on logging your just cheating yourself. Plus what I do is take a bite of things I want. If my wife or kids get fries take a few, they get a sundae, take a bite or 2. Don't deprive yourself. Because that's when the bingeing starts. Have good people around you. It's ok to have a bad day, just don't let it turn into a bad couple of days, then a week, then the next thing you know you've gotten completely off the boat and start to sink again. Food tastes great, but once you eat a ton you feel horrible. Food tastes so much better when your hungry. Feel free to add me. Always looking to give and receive support.

    I started in mid-April and am down 28lbs. It has been slow going and that is ok. I have had some bad days where I didn't eat good but I have never been over calories. I also have had several times were it was a couple days when I didn't really get good workouts(some days no workout at all) in. I am not trying to win any race though. I'm down 2 clothes sizes and almost 30lbs...it is coming off. I WILL DO THIS and you can too!! I have three 6yr olds that most days I just pack up and go to the track. It was easier when they were in school but now that they are out they enjoy the time at the park playing and spend some time with me exercising. It is fun seeing their reaction to me losing. Good luck and feel free anyone who wants to add me. I'll take(and give) all the motivation and support I can.

    Started at 316 in Jan 2011, got down to 260, but fell off the wagon last christmas. Pretty sure I am back up there, scared to look. I am trying though. It's actually pretty easy when you stick to the calories :) You can do it!

    At my high point, right before I joined, I was within a few pounds (297). This program, especially the smartphone app, has made tracking easy.

    Yep, started at 324 :blushing: :grumble: and I'm still over 300, but just barely :) I'm so excited to get back in the two hundreds. I always promised myself I would never reach 300 pounds, when I did I got really depressed, ate a lot, gained more weight, and woke up and realized how stupid that was... then kicked my big butt in gear. Feel free to add me :)

    I started about a year ago. 341 lbs.

    It's taken this long for my skin to get "manageable" and for me to feel good with my shirt off around the beach/pool etc. :p

    I still have a bit to fill but it keeps improving. :) Small t shirts look pretty good on me now... ha!
