hi everyone, im steff, 25 in glasgow (scotland). iam currently 18stones (250lbs) have recently started using MFP to reach my goal of 10st 7lbs by june 2014 as iam bridesmaid at my best friends wedding.
i previously done slimming world in sept 2010 when i weighed 23stone (322lbs) and lost 6 stone by july 2011, however i found out i was preg, put on a few stone and when i went back after having my baby boy i found that slimming world wouldnt work for me that well anymore so decided to try MFP.

Your definitely not alone I have a ton of weight to lose as well. I started my weight loss journey a little over 3 weeks ago hitting the gym, and portion control. Starting weight for me was 346 and my current weight is 328. So I suppose we are on the same journey! Good luck and I have sent a friend request.0

Hi Steff!
I recently found out I'm diabetic and have about 100 pounds to lose, so we're in the same boat! I've used My Fitness Pal for a couple of months now and it's been a great help. I'm sure you'll be well on your way to that gorgeous dress in no time. Keep us posted on your success.0 -

THIS is a big one!!!
Constantly read through the Before/After Section for Motivation when you're doing good and particularly when you're feeling stuck or down. That section is the best for helping one realize it IS possible to get where they are by hard work, dedication and making healthy changes.:happy:
Cheers:drinker: you've come to the right place!!!0 -

If you look at someone's profile (click their name or photo), you should be able to click an "Add as a Friend" button. Also, to look up someone's profile you can click on the Community tab at the top of the browser and then Find Members under that.
As Heart's Desire says, make sure you spend plenty of time on the Success Stories thread. There are many people like you who have been successful.0 -
Hey, yes I still have a lot to lose. Slow and steady and no giving up is my daily thoughts. So far I am down 24 lbs and think that is not much, but my daughter-in-law (thoughtful girl that she is) reminded me that is 1/3 of the way. Keep good thoughts and keep at it. My wonderful husband is doing this along side me and that helps tremendously. So my thoughts are that you too are doing great and we should be proud that we made this life style choice.0

I have quite a lot to lose, and still getting used to MFP! I like to see what other people eat, so I can pick up tips, so any friend requests will be muchos appreciated!!0

For motivation, I frequent this Success Stories boards. When I find a thread that inspires me, I reply to it. When my motivation is lacking, I click up at the top where it says 'recent posts' and it finds what threads I posted on. So it brings up the threads I like.
I also friend request people with great success so I can look at their profile pictures when I am feeling lazy.
Welcome to the boards! When do you have to order your dress? I would find a picture of a dress that I like and post it somewhere that I would see it every day, if I were you.0 -

I do. And I'm in a little bit of the same boat as you (minus the pregnancy and slimming world thing) as, I've lost 50 pounds, but still have about 70 pounds to lose, and thinking about that makes me exhausted.0

Me toooooo! I started at 280 just the start of this week. Just trying to eat better overall and lose! I'm 47 and really am starting to feel the extra pounds (or should I say person!) My issue is portion control. There is no such thing as just one, or just a little. I LOVE food. I am an awsome cook. I know I need to use my special powers for good instead of evil. LOL I need to just take things one day at a time.
Wish me luck!:flowerforyou:0 -
hi! I started at 380 pounds and am now under 200 pounds with 20-40 pounds to go...feel free to add me0

Motivation can always be given and used from/for me. I have 60lbs, maybe more, depending, to lose. You're not alone! Add me if you'd like0

I'm starting at 462.2 pounds (209.7 Kg, 33.0 stone) and am hoping to get south of 300 pounds (136.0 Kg, 21.4 stone).
However you measure it, that's a LOT of weight!
I'm fairly new here, but I've hit the ground running (so to speak, I can barely walk due to my knees). So if you want, feel free to add me!0 -
I have a lot to lose too! I started at 322 and have lost about 12 pounds in my first month. Only 160 pounds more to go. Eeek!
I agree with all the comments about the Success Stories. I read a few every day. They are so motivating and uplifting. And they make me think about where *I* will be in a year.0
