    Yep, me. :-) I'm breaking my goals down to 20 and 25 lbs at a time so I have short term goals too which is why my ticker reflects what it does. I am around 236 but I want to get to 145. My approach is weight lifting and cardio because even though I want to burn fat, I also want my resting metabolic rate to be higher and to improve insulin sensitivity within my body. While people are still debating how many calories, a pound of muscle takes up less space, but burns more calories per day, than a pound of fat. I know that the scale has moved only a few lbs for me, but I've lost at least 3 inches off of my waist. Unfortunately, that is the measurement that stuck in my head but I'm sure I've lost inches all over. LOL. Anyway, everyone on this post can add me if you like. :-)

    I was well over 300 when I first joined and 311 when I started getting serious about weight loss. I am currently 265 pounds, my goal is between 180 and 190, not sure how small I can get on account of I am 6 feet tall!

    I'm 6'1" and I weigh 265. I've lost 5 pounds... and haven't lost anything in the past month... NOT A FAN... I go to the gym everyday and I eat the calorie intake set by mfp... No fun indeed...

    Sweet, I found my twin...lol... just one inch taller but we weigh the same!

    Sending you a request. And anyone else, feel free to add. I am 5'4, and between 250-265 (my weigh in isn't til wed...yikes!) I did this last year, and it worked great, and now I am back and motivated more than ever.

    I do weekend challenges, and mon-fri challenges. I post them on my feed, and they are meant for me at my weight, so should work for you too, if your interested :)

    Good luck!

    That's definitely me... 5'5 and 260 lbs. Goal is to get between 160-170 and be more active. I am definitely an emotional and boredom eater, so tracking calories has helped me be more accountable (most days, we are all human after all). Anyone can feel free to add me, the more support, the better.

  • I'm over 200 lbs. and I have tryed everything to loose weight and I just keep gaining it....I don't know if there is something wrong with me or what but I'm to the point of giving up and say oh forget it but then I see my niece's who both have had the surgery one had the Lap-Band and the other one had the Sleeve done I see their pictures and I say I have to keep trying I want to join them in that Journey to loose it if they can do it so can I but then I see the weight gain and I'm ready to give up.....Is that normal to feel that way ....
  • Hi-I joined Saturday at 220 lb-highest weight ever was 248, lowest in adulthood was 160. I am petite-5'2" and BMI scales all say I should weigh 110, but I felt - and was told I looked - great at 160, so I'm aiming for that for now.

    Hi there everyone, I was looking at topics and stuff and there's a lot of motivational groups out there but I was wondering if anyone weighs over 200lbs and wants to loose weight with me. There's a lot who's under and I'm very proud they have got below or already was but I feel to self conscious joining as I'm much heavier than a lot of people and I don't need to get toning as much as some people are I need to loose the fat first. The lighter you are the more harder you need to work to loose more and tone so I can't really relate so I was wondering if anyone who weighs over 200lbs would like to help me build a motivational group and help us get under that 200lbs mark!

    I'm 5"4 and currently weigh 242.8lbs and my goal weight is 145lbs so I've got just under 100lbs to loose!

    I am 5'4, and started out at 258. I'm currently 243. My goal is 160, and then I'll see how I feel about that when I get there! Feel free to add me!

    5'4" and when I got pregnant last year I weighed 250. I'm down to 224.4 now, and my goal is to hit 150 and then reassess where I need to be from there. Your comment about how you feel kind of "alone" because many people here are under 200 and are working on toning, etc., resonates with me because that's how I feel about going to the gym! I feel like I'm the only one starting - that everyone else has been at this much longer than I and I'm the only fat person there. So I get it. And you're not alone here! :)

    5 ft 6 inch, starting weight 233. Looking to make it to 180, then we will see from there. Feel free to add me. I need all the support I can get!
  • I'm 5'10, was 315lbs in 2008, weigh 235 as of this morning. I lost 60lbs between 2008-2009 but then had a mental block until july of this year and started counting calories. I already ate rather well and biked everywhere but I just wasn't ready to finish things off until now.

    Goal is 170lbs. I seem to have a medium frame so that sounds like it'd be right.
  • I am 5'`10" and weigh 250 as of today. I originally joined myfitnesspal.com about a month ago an0d forgot about it. My weight has been bouncing between 247 and 251 for a while now and I have half-heartedly made efforts to lose weight with no success at all. Today I pledged to track and find a way to be held accountable so that I can make some serious progress toward my first goal of 210. The ultimate goal is to be under the 200 mark.

    It is fast approaching my favorite season of all - Fall - and I am hoping that shedding a few of these excess pounds will make it easier to enjoy the outdoors with my two active grandaughters.

    I have one friend at work who is supportive of my efforts to lose weight but other than that have an enormous amount of detractors. I am looking for someone to share in my journey to a smaller me who will encourage me when I am struggling and I can do the same.
