    Hi everyone! I'm 29 and started my journey in June at 241 pounds. I'm proud to say that earlier this week, I broke into ONEderland :) I currently weigh 199.2. It's been tough to say the least, but well worth it! We can do this ladies :):):)

    Hi everyone,

    I'm 26 and I currently weigh 231 - down from 238 in November 2012. I'm getting married this in November and could use all the support I can get! :) This is a nice idea and I too hope it grows :)
  • Hey Ladies,
    I am recently 25 and on the higher end of the 200+ category. I lost 70 pounds in high school but gained it back so i know i can do it. Right now my goal is just to get to 'onederland' (less than 200) and then i'll go from there. :-)

    please feel free to add me.
  • Hey there!

    .. Ok so after using the KG - LBS converter I discovered that I am 246 pounds (112kg.)

    I'm with all of you on this incredibly challenging journey, but hey we all have the power to do it! We just need to tell ourselves to STAY FOCUSED!

    Anyways, nice to meet you all, and a big hello from Aus. Can't wait to read all your success stories in the future (including mine too! Lol)

    xx

    Hey all :) I'm 23 and weigh about 205 lbs. I lost 22 lbs last Autumn but put too many back on during Christmas :I I've been mostly alone during the holidays and when I'm alone and bored I eat, eat, eat. But I'll be going back to school on Monday so hopefully things will start to get easier again :) I hope to lose about 40 lbs by the end of summer. We can do this! :)

    My name is Sharon I'm 23 years old and will into the 200+pounds category. I've been on MFP for 2 years now! I started out at 245 when I started, I lost 70 pounds and then found out I was pregnant again. Through that and the months following I've gained some of the weight back and want to get it back off. If you want feel free to add me as a friend! I know we all can reach our goals!

    You can add me too. I'm 27 years old & I'm currently at 274lbs :/ I wasn't always over weight, it all started adding up from my 1st pregnancy, I gained 80lbs and then I had 2 more babies..& never got the weight off. So I'm looking to lose at least 80lbs to get back to my very 1st original pre pregnancy weight. I'm very serious this time & determined to get this weight off. A smaller goal of mine is to get back to 240lbs by June so that's alittle over a 30lbs loss, which I think is do able. My son will be 1 on June 10th & I'd like to be back to my pre pregnancy weight of his pregnancy by then.. Anyone...feel free to add me as a friend :)

    Anyone can add me if you'd like, I'm 22 years old, my current weight is 214 lbs. My starting weight was 228 lbs, and my dream is to lose 100 pounds in total. In the short term I'd like to lose 40 lbs by the first day of spring.

    Hey! I'm Bethany. I'm 22, 5ft 5 and my starting weight was 310. My day 1 was September 17th, 2011. My husband had gone from 300 to 180 half on his own terms, and then ended up joining the navy, and needed to get down to the 180's. He really inspired me, and coached me..... still does.

    I got p90x and for months, I couldn't get past the third or fourth week..... a year later, the weekend after he graduated from bootcamp, I decided to jump in. The first round was pretty terrible. Sore all the time, and I could barely do anything. It didn't stop me.
    The two of us are eating low carb (keto,) and I'm JUST today on the second day of round 5 of p90x.

    current weight: 205! I seriously don't think I've seen 190's since I was in middle school :X ***always been big****

    Soooooooooo.....Here I am. 205, just plugging away and seeing where I can go! I don't have a goal weight- I just want to try my hardest and be as healthy/active as possible.

    Hi all! I just turned 28 and have no desire to turn 29 overweight! Im currently 220 and shooting for 140-150. Im addicted to this site so if anyone needs daily support im always on here! I just recently got a personal trainer which im really excited about and cant wait to see how much my body changes with all the weight lifting i do and cardio. I hope everyone has a wonderful day and anyone can add me if they would like just leave in the comment box your adding me from this forum so i know!!!
  • HI everyone! I'm 23 (24 in March!) and about 210lbs. My highest is 213 and I just started really working at losing weight about a month ago. I've gradually gained about 70lbs over the past 5 years and now it needs to take a hike! This time last year I was on my way to losing about 15lbs (although my highest then was 209) and after I lost the 15 I got cocky and gained it all back. My goal for the end of the year is losing 40lbs although I'd love to lose it all! Feel free to add me!

    Hey everyone!

    I'm 20 and currently I have no idea what I weigh! I just enjoyed the last of my "Fat-cember," as I was lovingly calling it. My fiance from the Army came home on holiday leave, so I allowed myself to splurge and enjoy my holiday and time with him. I'm waiting to weigh myself again after a few weeks of really working hard. I estimate that I'm back to about 240lbs. I'm 5'9"ish and am a 3rd year college student.

    Feel free to add me! ^_^ Definitely could use the swift kick in the butt everyone once in a while to go work out!

    24 and 207 pounds. Just joined the site today. It's great to finally find somewhere with a great support group I don't have to pay for. My goal is 140 and I'm planning on being 52 closer by the end of 2013.

    Hi! I just turned 29 and am back in the 200+ again after suffering a back injury and spinal surgery. I have recovered for the most part but am really struggling with th psychological side of working out, I am terrified that I will re injure myself. Feel free to add me, the more support the better! : )
