    Hi, I am in this group also. I am 49 yrs old, 5"7" and have not weighed under 200lbs in over 19 years. I weighed 240 when I started in May and now I am down to 217. I have to lose weight per doctors orders to control some health issues including type 2 diabetes. That has made things really challenging since I have to balance protein and carbs differently than the average person. My goal is to reach 140lbs. I hope this will be possible by next June, my daughter is getting married. I struggle every day to do the right things with eating and exercise but I am finally encouraged to keep going since some of my health stuff is greatly improved. Hang in there, It just takes time to find what works for your body. Don't be afraid to try different combinations to get the weight loss moving.
    Just thought that I would mention that I bought a fitbit through a connection on MFP. It is totally worth it. It makes me more aware of every step I take and it seems to be working. I find myself going the longest way possible to accomplish what I need to at work. I am a senior accountant at the same company for 21years. A desk job does not help with the activity level but by using the fitbit to track your steps and motivate you to do better I am making progress.

    I started at 305...I am now 281.5. I am 6f1

    My goal is 190-200 and stay there. I am frustrated because I have been working hard and I have not seen a loss in the last 2 weeks.

    Maybe you should switch up your routine that will jump your metabolism. If you are doing the same things you may want to go hard on cardio or strength, go lean on carbs also. Hopes this help.

    Hi - I am over 300lbs and slowly dropping. I am doing it slowly and healthily - it is a lifelong change for me but am always looking for people to support and to support me. Love to keep in touch and be a support crew.

    you can add me if you want. I'm doing calorie counting and working out like crazy. And it's working pretty good for me so far. I am around 301 lbs and hope to be 299 by Sunday! I can't wait to be out of the 300's and into the 200's. I'm on here everyday faithfully and I will be for a good long while because my goal weight is 160. My Sept challenge is to complete 25% of my total goal by the end of Sept. I can do it! (That means I need to reach 287 lbs)

    Hi, I'm 6'4 (189cm) and I was 276 (125kg) lbs when I began to change (this June). Currently I'm 251 (114kg) lbs and counting. My goal is 209 lbs (95kg) at first then will see what should I do after reaching that.
    I set the 1300 calories border and try to stop there (I'm not too rigorous). I walk a lot (8-16km per day on 5 days per week and sometimes I ride my bike for 10-20km.
    So, I just enjoy the process and the achievements.

    What diet are you doing to lose the weight? I want to form a group and see if anyone over 200lbs or whatever weight wants to do the Advocare 24 day challenge? I've been thinking about doing it but scared I will quit. I find that when I have support, I'm able to stick with the plan. I've seen reviews from people on here about Advocare and it loooks like their having great results. Any suggestions?

    Yes I am also someone that is over 200.............232 to be exact. This is the heaviest that I have been, and I am not happy or proud about this. I can feel this weight bring my energy level and my self esteem down. It is hard because I have a herniated disk in my neck from a work injury and I cannot life with my right arm. I am a member of a gym in Vacaville and started doing the lowest impact class that I can think of and that is water aerobics. I also started doing Yoga Core Fit at Vacaville and this is an excellent place to go for yoga and pilates. Cindy, the instructor shows everyone how to modify the moves to tailor the work our for you. For those that do not think that this is a workout. I did the Vinyasa beginner class, and I was dripping sweat half way through. I am thankful for whomever started this blog, I am glad that there are others out there and I feel like I have more support. Thank you all for sharing you stories online.
