    Yes indeed i started off at 335 and that was the last time i checked the scale, so i probably even gained more, but started trying to change my life in 2010, since then ive been up and down, but im at 281.0, just so ready to really start loosing some weight here!

    I was close: 295.4

    I wrote it down and have it on my mirror and my phone as a daily reminder of what I never want to see again. Today, I weighed in at 224.8. It hasn't been easy at times, but I just keep telling myself at the gym when things get tough:

    "Remember why you're here!"

    Works every single time. When I want to stop running, I say those words and push myself for another 2 minutes or so. When I want a burger, I get almonds instead. It's a lifestyle change for me as I know it never was how much I was eating, but what I was eating (without exercising).

    I'm content with where I am now, but not 100% satisfied. I figured 205 lbs is where I'd like to be. Many believe I'd be too skinny and they might be right with my frame, but it's worth a shot.

    I started at 337. The highest I have ever been. I'm now at 297.4 (slight gain this past week). This is the longest I have stuck with anything so I am feeling confident that this is the time for me to get it off for good! Feel free to add me as I always love having the support of people on here and love being able to give support in return!

    Its great reading so many positive stories. I am hoping small goals will keep me going I am tipping the scales at 301lbs as of yesterday.

    Short Term Target - drop below 20 stone (280lbs) this was the wall I was bouncing off for many years going up the way but have sailed through it recently so if I can get below that I am on my way.....hopefully.

    Long Term Target - 12 stone (168lbs) hopefully get there one day anything south of 200lbs and I will be delighted.

    Started at 390 and thats a guess. I couldn't get a reading on my scale after I hit 385 it errored out.
    Anyway this has to be a lifestyle change..little by little make small manageable changes to your life. Don't think of things as cheat, but keep things in moderation, smaller portions more color, and do more activity..that doesn't mean join a gym..it means walk around the block, park further away and then every day build on that. Its so possible! Go for it!

    I am just getting started on my weight loss journey, and also starting above the 300lb mark. It's so encouraging to see so many others who are doing it and having success that it's spurred me on to join in. :bigsmile:

    I started at 320.4 on April 30th 2012 - and I just weighed in at 289.4. My heaviest was 341 in April of 2011. I have been keeping track of my calories and going to the gym/doing Zumba. I have lost 30lbs in 3 months as of today. I'm hoping to get down to at least 250 for my first goal, and then go from there. :)
