    I didn't quite tip the 300lb mark. I hit 297 and decided that I needed to do something. I was doing very well, then got injured, then summer rolled around and I'm back at it. Currently 255. Anyone can add me, if you'd like :flowerforyou:

    I weighted 405 pounds on 2/17/2012. One year later, I'm at 244 pounds. My goal is to reach 200 pounds. My secret: diet, exercise, and hard work

    461.2 when I started 3/22/12...270.0 as of today's weigh-in :) It's a lifestyle change that has SOOOOO been worth all the hard work!

    I started at 405 on July 18th of last year. I am at 258 now. This site is a life saver. Log everything. If you cheat on logging your just cheating yourself. Plus what I do is take a bite of things I want. If my wife or kids get fries take a few, they get a sundae, take a bite or 2. Don't deprive yourself. Because that's when the bingeing starts. Have good people around you. It's ok to have a bad day, just don't let it turn into a bad couple of days, then a week, then the next thing you know you've gotten completely off the boat and start to sink again. Food tastes great, but once you eat a ton you feel horrible. Food tastes so much better when your hungry. Feel free to add me. Always looking to give and receive support.

    VERY GOOD ADVICE........You are soooooooo right!

    This is some of the best advice I've seen yet and couldn't agree more!

    I started second week of January 2013 @ 385. Now am at 347. Just keep on keeping on :) Seriously, I've approached it with the same mentality as above and for the first time in my life it's working...and dare I say...it's been pretty easy too. Hopefully it stays that way!

    Hi, I started at 368 now I am 306. Still have a long way to go. I love this site and it is so helpful to me. I have started and quit so many time. It feels good to wear smaller size clothes. So excited cant wait to get out of the 300. Keep up the good work and stay positive.

    I started at 425 lbs. I am currently around 350 lbs. I haven't been on a working scale in a couple of months. Not worried, doing the work and training for a Spartan Race. Clothes are getting looser and I am seeing the difference. Will probably get on a scale again in a week or so.
