    Hi!
    I started out at 297, wobbling currently around 245/246. My ultimate goal is 155, but I will re-evaluate how I feel and look when I get to 175.. I still have a LONG way to go (since I am currently STUCK) and would love any new friends who can relate :)

    Hi- after my first baby, I was at 246... I lost some, had another baby, and am currently at 207, hoping to see 199 very soon!! I'm a taller girl, and have hovered around 200-210 most of my adult life. You've got this! I take it five pounds at a time- every five is a victory for me!

    I was 315
    now 263

    Looking to reach 175-180, then I will re-evaluate how I feel about a final number
    I'm in need of friends as well
  • I started MFP at 298 in July. I am down to 261. I fell off the wagon in October and am still trying to get back on track. I still have a long way to go to my goal of 165.

    I am just starting as of today. I am needing lots of support. Mom of four and they are about grown. I am over 300 pounds and need to also have conversation and encouragement from those that understand. I have got to get in better shape and so many times I have started but never quite get it right. So feel free to add me not quite sure how all this works but willing to learn.

    Hello all. I just joined a few days ago (I did over 4 months ago but never used the app). I am currently 210.2 lbs would like to join the "one"der club someday. Here's the deal. I don't mind giving motivation but I need people to hold me accountable to log on and be inspiring at times. Sadly most of my friends are skinny. I only know 2 ppl on here. Please add me. Jenjen2015

    I started MFP at 218 (I was probably heavier than that at some point, I refused to weigh myself for quite some time). I am now at 203. Would love to connect with all of y'all--the more support, the better. Feel free to add me :)

    I started at 206.6 March 6th and last week's weigh in I was 172.6. I have BAD knees and two herniated discs in my back so whatever weight I've lost so far has been solely diet alone. I hope to start moving more soon!

    I started in early October at 229. I'm down to 218.5 as of this morning. I started working out about two years ago, but I've never seemed to get lower than 220. So this year I've decided I need to get serious about my calories. My first goal was 10 lbs lost, and I've made that, so my next goal is to be 199. After that, I'm looking at 180, and then I'll reevalutate.

    I got my mother-in-law to join me on MFP, but she never logs in, so I could use some friends.

    My start weight was 101kg (222lbs), and my ultimate goal is to get to 70kg (154lbs) where I will re-evaulate, and perhaps even try for 65kg (143lbs).

    Mini goals:
    Lose another 5kg (11lbs) before Xmas/New Year
    Get down to 80kg (176lbs) by Easter 2013
  • I started out at 268 and I'm at 248 currently..started in June getting more serious about this journey. I've fallen off a little over the last few months due to medical issues and a busy schedule, but I'm in it for the long haul. Feel free to add me!

    I started at 265lbs almost 3 years ago. I got down to 194lbs within 6 months and then with all the stresses going on in my life, my exhusband having cancer and then passing the funeral and helping the kids deal with it, I for some reason stopped trying to eat right and stopped exercising regularly. I gained back up to 225lbs and since then have been yoyoing. I'll lose down to about 200 and then bounce right back up to 225. I'm so frustrated. I am tired of starting over. I want to stop quitting. I want this to be a lifestyle for me. I've managed to stay active I just can't get and keep my food right. I so need more support now. My workout buddy has found out she is pregnant so now I'm going it alone...well not without her support but she isn't allowed to do the things we were doing.

    Anyways enough complaining. Add me as a friend. I could use the support and am willing to give it right back.
