    I started at 217. I'm 5'6". I lost 15-20 pounds a couple of times in the past but always gained it back.

    Current weight is 181. You can do this!

    I feel ya! I am 225 :( weight keeps creeping upwards and I'm tired all the time, irritable, you name it.....I'm sick and tired and I'm ready for a change. Tired of wearing black clothes cause I don't feel "worthy" enough to wear nicer clothes because of my size and I feel black makes me look slimmer.

    I'm ready to start exercising, i'm a super sedentary person (just like my mom and she's morbid obese, health problems, etc. and if I don't change, I will turn into her)

    Today is my first day on this. I am 250+ and have managed to lose 18lbs so far on my own but the progress has been very slow and I would like to have something more structured as well as some support. I would love some tips on how to get started excercising again. I live in the Midwest and it is so cold out and snowy. Right now, I can't afford a gym membership otherwise I would do that.

    Try workout DVD's they're a great way to start! Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred is great, or you can try Zumba it's fun and a great way to burn major calories

    I need major support! I have some, but mostly from people who are well on their way and almost done. So, I'm looking for people who are battling the same fight as me. I started out at 218 and got down to 198, but gained most back and am back down to 201. Anyone start out similar?

    Started at 278, got down to 185, stayed there a year, then gained and am up to 224. Need to get back in the 180's!!

    Anyone?
    Hey, Feel free to add me too! I have bee yo,yoing as well. I started out almost 2 years ago at 218, took about 6 montsh to get down to 179, then gained nearly all of it back within a matter of months. I started my journey again this September weighing in at 206 and have now got back down to 194. I too need a little motivation as I am batteling a seperation with my fiance who is obsesed with skinny women and says he just can't stand me anymore. We have been together for 4 years now, only been engaged since February(coming up on 1 year).
    I will be here to support you in anyway I can as there are so many MFP friends that have done the same for me :)
