    Never reached 400 but was pretty close

    Height - 6'2
    Start weight - 350+ (lost a bit before I first recorded it)
    Current - 237
    TShirt size before 4XL
    After/during - XL
    Jean before - 50
    After/during - 42 (although I think I will need a 40 in a few weeks)

    Goal is 200, although I would be happy with 210. Would like to get in to the 30's in terms of waist and as long as I can shop at regular shops I don't mind what the T-Shirt size is, L would be fine.

    I should say I'm in the UK and sizes are a little smaller here. So an XL here would roughly be the same as an L in the US.

    Height - 6'3

    Start weight - 480's I never got an exact measurement. Doctor had to use counter weights. I was close to 500 lbs.
    Current - 313 goal is for 200-220 range. lowest I ever got down to was during my junior year in high school, I was 237.

    TShirt size before 5/6 xlt
    After/during - at the moment 2XLT. I have found some brands that fit that are 2XL. I still mostly stick to big & tall since I hate lifting my arms over my head and flashing the ol' belly button :laugh:

    Jean before - 56-30
    After/during - 44/42-32 It's werid for me. 44's are getting too loose I need a belt. 42 are just a wee bit tight. I can squeeze into them but it's tight. It just depends on the brand. I defintely can't fit into slim. I have tree trunks for legs.

    my weight loss has slowed down alot. I used to average 10-15 lbs a month but now I average 5-6 lbs. I am in no rush. I'll get there when I get there.

    I just started on here i am 6'3" and i am around 400 pounds so all these stories are of great help and inspiration to me.

    Shirt size is 3/4xlt
    Pants size is 52/32

    current goal weight is to be under 300 and then from there decide where i need to go from there.

    Yikes!

    Don't change your body...just change the label. That's pretty much where we are at right now in this country.

    Age: 35
    Height: 6'2"
    Starting Weight: 5/6/12 - 436 lbs.
    This morning: 8/4/12 - 375 lbs.
    41 pounds lost so far.

    I picked the "Lose 2 pounds per week" plan. Lately, I have been losing 4 or 5 per week.

    MFP starting calories around 2700 per day
    Have weened myself down to 1900 per day

    Surprisingly, I can be satisfied with only eating 1900 calories per day. It's all a matter of picking the right foods. I have been making allot of homemade soups. They really fill me up, which is good, because I still have a big appetite. I have even had days where I came in a hundred calories under.

    I have started taking Sunday as sort of a cheat day. It's typically when I get together with family and end up having a big meal. I don't go crazy, but I do let myself go over a bit. I hasn't hurt me yet.

    If you are interested, feel free to add me. Thanks!

    Height 6'0"
    SW: 335
    CW: 283
    GW: 225
    Shirts before: Some 3XL, but starting to need 4XL to be comfortable
    Shirts now: Still some 3XL because I am cheap, but new shirts are 2XL
    Pants before: 48/30 (stretchy waist of course)
    Pants now: 42/30 with a belt

    I don't see the results in the mirror, but the clothes situation is making it the most obvious. I love being able to shop for clothes that I like as opposed to settling on clothes that fit. My goal weight will be the lowest I've been since high school, but I will definitely reevaluate and plan new goals. I think ultimately I'd like to be in the 190 to 200lb range (which seemed impossible 4 months ago).
