Hey, everyone. I keep gaining and gaining weight and have promised myself I wouldn't allow 200 to show on the scale. I have gotten dangerously close to that number and have decided to stop the weight-gain dead in its' tracks. Anyone who thinks they would like to help me or has a similar goal that would like to work toward success together, feel free to add me. :)

    I started here at 232.8 and as of today I'm 113 pounds...it can be done....you just have to really want it!!
    I figured out if I don't eat processed food I can eat alot for 1200 calories.

    I know what it's like to have a lot of wt. to lose. I really screwed up and got over 300 lbs. before deciding to take control of my life. I lost my wt. in a yr. but have another 50 lbs. to lose. Feel free to add me.

    I just sent you a friend request. I just re-committed myself to being healthy. I never wanted to hit the 200 mark either, but here I am at 240. So we can do this together. I need to lose about 110-115 lbs now. My step son marries in March, my daughter graduates high school this June and my 20 year anniversary is Feb 2014, so I have some big momentus occasions coming up and I DON"T want to be this heavy in pictures.

    Good Luck to you!!

    i know how you feel. i started off as 210lbs but now im 196lbs after about a month! its an amazing feeling to have realised you have lost weight and even better when you can actually see the difference.

    think about changing your life rather than just losing weight. you will feel and great physically and mentally when you see the difference. good luck!
