    My starting weight was 336 pounds so I was bigger than you when I started! :tongue:

    I looked at my starting weight as a new beginning.....a new chapter to becoming a fitter, healthier me! Now at 259.75 (into the 250s was a lovely feeling) and still losing!

    You can do this! :flowerforyou:

    I must admit, when I started I thought I was the biggest girl on here too!

    So nice to hear there are others who understand where you are coming from!

    When I first started thinking about losing weight (and started doing it the first time), the highest weight I saw on the scale was 365. I got down (over about 2-3 years, including one pregnancy) to 199. Then life interfered and I lost focus, ultimately regaining to 275, got pregnant with twins that took me to 325 at the highest point (I was 318 when I gave birth), and then finally, just before the girls turned 2 this year, I got serious about weight loss. My weight at that point was around 295.

    Feel free to add me. :)

    My highest weight (that I actually measured) was 282 lbs. I started MFP at 266 lbs. I'm down around 218 lbs. now. But no, I have friends on MFP that weigh a lot more than you. A few are/were well over 400 lbs. Big girls just tend to be quieter on the forums than most people.... but they are here, lurking in their own quiet way. I honestly wish more of them would chat it up.

    Come on, big girls. I know you're here. Say hi :flowerforyou:

    Three months ago today I was 345 am now 299 so I was heavier then
    You. There is nothing to be ashamed of atleast you are trying
    to make a start to becoming a healthier person. We can do this together
    just focus on your goal and you will slowly but surely meet that magic number.
    Of course we all know by now that there is no magic bullet to weight loss besides hard work and determination. Along
    With lots of encouragement. But you has to make the first step
    towards your goal. Go for it girl I know you can do it!

    I started at 302 about 14 months ago- now down to 201- but I know how it is so hard when you have lots to lose! Also, I know there is at least one member here for sure who is over 600 lbs.

    I'm 5'5", and started at 294 on April 8th. Down to 280 right now. Just took my "before" pictures the other night and was shocked at how big I must look to other people.

    I am 305 right now. I started at 327. You are not the only one. Sometimes I feel a little intimidated here because people are further along in health and push activity levels that I cannot sustain at this weight. It will be a while before I can really exercise like I want. I am just concerned about losing weight at this point. I gained so much weight last year very quickly, like in 6-8 months. It really freaked me out when I reached 300. I knew I would not be buying any bigger clothes so I knew I needed to lose weight. I do not want to live a life confined to my house and I want to be able to move. I want a life.

    Well I may not be 300 but I am 220 and that is plenty bad for me. I have just started back with mfp, and hope I can stick with it. It is hard when you are on your own. So often people with any size always feel bad in front of slimmer people. It is a shame because we all have feelings. But no matter. You want a friend to talk to I am here. I will check every day to see if you have posted anything and I will write back and tell you how I am doing and you can tell me how you are doing . I live out here in Meridian Idaho. Just out side of Boise Idaho. My husband and I have been here for 18 years this coming Sept. We are both from Oregon and Washington, but we live here because this is where my husband's job brought us. Any how I have had a hard time with weight loss also. mainly because I have no one to work with or talk to about what I am doing. I like to have some one to, in a sense, work with and talk with about what I am doing and how someone else is doing with their goals. So add me as friend if you want. And if it is okay with this web site you can contact me on Facebook. If it isn't we can talk here. Just let me know. And Best of luck to you and your goals.:happy: sbrown 7323@aol.com

    I started at 300 ,lost 20 lbs then found MFP.I am now in the 240's.

    The first time I started I was over the 300 mark, but I lost, put it back on, lost again,.... well we all know the roller coaster. I am now in the 270's, and was stuck here for a few months, but I'm not giving up.

    So to answer your question, you are not the biggest one, and coming in at that weight, you are not the heaviest to ever start. If you need a friend, pm me or send me a request. I know how it is to be in the 300s, but I also know how it is to leave it behind and promise never to return.

    I am also tired of being the weight I am 220 and that is bad for me. I am a CNA and I have R,A. ( I am not going to try to spell it out). But I have trouble with my feet and so I really need to lose this weight, just like every one else. I just started back up after being off here almost a year and never knew these post were her to help to encourage me to keep going. And in the winter I have a lot of pain so if I get some of this weight off it will help with the pain big time and I know I will feel like doing a lot more of the things I love to do when I can.
