    You can do it...always remember your motivation has to come from within and you have to do it only for you and no one else. I started at 240 in January and was down to 180 by May. I was amazed at how easy it really was once I set my mind to it. Fell free to add me as a friend if you like!

    I'm a protrait photographer and some of my best clients are bigger girls. I was thinking how pretty your picture was too and how I want to "steal" that idea and pose :)

    Hi big girls,

    I just wanted to stop by and show my support. I'm closer to 200 pounds but very short and used to be considered morbidly obese. I'd love to be friends with anyone here and support efforts toward healthy eating. My food log is open to friends. (I'm mostly vegetarian.)

    I also wanted to share my friend's blog. She's not on this site (she belongs to Weight Watchers and uses their app) but her blog and her story are really inspiring. She started at 385 and has lost 125 pounds so far.

    At my heaviest that I know of I was 292 I started MFP at 271 and I'm now down 72 lbs. When I started on here I never thought I would be where I am today. The support here is fantastic and has helped keep me going. I'd love to lose another 50, but would e happy with another 25 to 30.

    I'm all about expanding my support group and encouraging others. Feel free to add me if you'd like :). Good luck!!!

    No matter what your size, weight loss isnt easy. It is just as much, if not more, mental than physical. You have to overcome mental challenges along with physical ones. The mental part of any change is always hard. Dont look at it as a diet, its a life change! I am 228 pounds right now at about five foot eight inches and feel like I have a good figure but could be happier at 200 pounds and even happier at 170 pounds but one goal at a time! We are attracted to people and choose to date whom we chose to date. To say someone isnt beautiful because of their size isnt even close to truth. The pic on the beach is a beautiful pic! Confidence is beautiful!

    Welcome to MFP! I do love the pose in your pic, I want to do the same thing next time I'm on vacation! I'd love to add you, we're the same age and I think we could both motivate each other. It is hard starting on here but it is the first step. :D Good for you for taking it, I know it was hard for me!

    I thought your profile picture was lovely too, shows you have a sense of fun.

    Get yourself a good support network which and you will enjoy using this site.

    It's nice to have friends who are kind and supportive on the good and bad days.

    Mix those friends up with a few pals who will point you in the right direction and be honest but not in a cruel way.
    Having a laugh with your pals about life in general or a moan some days keeps you logging back on each day.

    Good luck, I look forward to seeing your results in the future :flowerforyou:

    I have just a few things to say.
    1) Welcome to MFP!
    2) Add me if you'd like.
    3) Don't listen to the ones that put you down.
    4) You are beautiful and I love the beach as well! =)

    It's sad that a simple "introduction" has turned into this drama fest because someone had to put their inappropriate two cents worth in...

    Is there a way to block people? LOL...

    Click the little down arrow next to someone's name and choose "ignore user" if someone annoys you. It will be as if they don't exist on the site!

    Well, except when someone else responds to stuff they say.

    Hey! Don't be ashamed! At the beginning of the year I weighed 350 pounds, and I'm 24. I'm down to 312 now, with a goal weight of 130 (I'm 5'4). Let's be friends!
