    I started off at 202 pounds in April of 2011. I hit my original goal weight in February 2012 (152 lbs). After that, I decide to keep losing and eventually ended up at 135. I've weighed around 135 for seven months now. :smile:

    I took it slow and easy. I planned to lose just a 1/2 pound a week and only cut 250 calories a day from my TDEE. That allowed me to keep enjoying food like pizza, cupcakes and wine.

    When I first started MFP, I was 216. I got down to 198, then gained weight. Now it's almost 2 years later, and I am more serious about losing weight this time. I am now 224, and don't ever plan to see that big of a number again. Feel free to add me.

    I started at about 220lbs. Maybe more. And I've always been overweight (well, since I was about 8). I'm now about 175lbs and no longer a couch potato.

    Hi Ladies - I started at 220 about a year & a half ago. I am now down to 129-130. Omg!! I've never been this thin! Now I'm maintaining but I struggle everyday. Moderation has been the key for me.

    Feel free to add me - say you saw my post on this board...

    I started out this time last year at 223 pounds. I'm down to 193 pounds right now. Could have been a lower number but I wasn't as committed as I should have been. I have 58 pounds to go until I'm at goal!

    Hey! I actually semi started trying to eat healthier and lose weight at the beginning of this summer, but I wasn't using any kind of system to track anything so I probably only lost about 5 or 10 pounds the entire summer. It was a step in the right direction though. I discovered MFP at the end of October, bought a scale, and decided to take full control of my weight loss. When I started on MFP I weighed 228 lbs (I have no real idea what I weighed before the summer/fall but I'm going to guess around 235-240ish). After 2 months of using the site I have lost 15 pounds and am down to 213 lbs. My ultimate goal as of now is 130 lbs (I'm 5'7"). It's been a slow and steady process thus far, but I know that I still have a LONG way to go. Feel free to add me though. I enjoy having friends with similar goals to mine and it always helps to have people who are in the same general place in their weight loss journey as you are.
