For anyone 200+

mornin' everyone! so last night i went out to dinner with one of my friends and cheated a bit. :blushing: i weighed myself this morning and my weight has stayed the same, which is good, but back on the wagon i go! i want to lose!

hope everyone is doing good! i'm gonna kick my own butt working out tonight to burn off some extra cals from last night's dinner.

enjoy yourself but just remember moderation! Have fun though!

Hello Everyone!

I'd really like to join this group, you all seem fabulous!! My highest weight has been 285 and I have since lost 10lbs! I have been overweight my whole life and am tired of feeling like I don't fit in with my group of friends too. It's always been so depressing to have to shop with my girlfriends and not be able to try anything on cause I'm not in a plus size store. I'm hoping to get down to under 200 by spring next year, and I know that with a lot of work and some support that I can do it! I'll do weigh-ins on Friday too, maybe with all of the encouragement we can all reach our goals and stay healthy )

Hello everyone! I am new to my fitness pal. I am 205 pounds. Which is the heaviest I have ever been even with 3 pregnancies. I had a ovarian cancer scare in Jan of this year, it turned out NO CANCER. That was one of my reasons for losing weight. I have 3 kids and a wonderful husband. I want to be a good example for my children and I want to be there for them! Also, two years ago, I lost my 33 year old cousin to breast cancer. She left behind two boys and a husband. So with my cancer scare and her death it has really made me step back and see that I am not healthy! So my goal is to see if I can get down to at least 150 pounds. Once I get down to that, 140 is my ultimate goal! Look forward to support and getting to know everyone!

Hi all,
I've been here for almost two months, gaining and losing the same 4lbs the whole time no matter how much I work out or how little I eat so needless to say I need some support because I am oh so close to throwing in the towel...I weighed in at 231 lbs today and would love to join the group and hear anything you all have to say that might be helpful. My main goal is to get to 150lbs but I really just want to get below 200lbs...its been many years. I look forward to working with you all.

Hey!

I'd like to join you all. I have been on MFP a little over two weeks, and lost 5 pounds since starting. 231 is my highest weight. I lost 30 pounds during my senior year in high school, but it was Atkins and...well after that I gained it all back and so much more. It's been six years since then, and my weight has fluctuated a great deal, but not really through any intentional dieting. Basically over this summer I have have just been eating...and eating and eating. I really was getting sick of myself, and just thinking that if I didn't make a change soon that things could start to get really bad. Also, I am currently in a size 18, and I just really don't want to hit size 20.

Oh, and I've never had a guy friend ask me about my weight...I don't think I seem approachable about that issue But I have lived overseas in a place where I understand the language. Sometimes I would overhear someone say something about me "Wow! Look at that obese foreigner!!!" and I would just confront them wherever it was with something like "Hey! I know what you're saying! What you just said was really rude, if a stranger in my country said that I might hit him!" And well, the more curious taxi drivers would occasionally say something like "So, why are you so fat?" with a strange genuine interest, so I would explain to them that I had three deaths in my family and a close friend in a coma within four months of each other, all in my first semester at college that I spent on the other side of the world from my parents in a state I never lived in before. They usually accepted that...hard not to I guess. It's the truth. And it took me a few years to be able to get to this point where I can start taking care of my body, but I am so pumped about all the changes I've been making!

So now my goal is to get back to 140, and perhaps a little more after I get there.

Well, I know Friday is yall's weigh in day. I will weigh in in the morning, but I already weighed in on tuesday, so I don't really expect much to happen for this week's group weigh in.

Good morning friends, my weighin this morning was 213.4 That is a week loss of 2.2 lbs and a total loss of 7 lbs. Not alot but it is a start. Thank you for the support.

I was wondering if everyone who is gonna be in this group could send me a message on here with their name, current weight, and goal weight. please and thank you! I know it's technically thursday but I'm only a half hour off from our first weigh in as a goup so i'll do it now.
CW:258 (bout pissed myself when i saw that lol I havent been that high in over 5 years)

My name is Emma, current weight 220, goal weight 136 (I have a looong road ahead!)

Weigh-in this morning was 222.2 (down .4 pounds from Tuesday). I started at 238.4 and have an overall goal of 130... total weight loss so far is 16.2 and I have a ways to go here as well.

I usually do weigh-ins on Mondays so will probably carry over my weigh-in from then for this group... weighed early today because I am headed out of town and won't be here on Monday!

I am not new to the site, but am new to the posting community. I weighed in this morning at 280 (I saw that you all weigh in on Fridays). I started 8 months ago at 325, but have a long way to go to reach my goal weight of 170. My husband has been pretty supportive, but I decided it certainly couldn't hurt to have some group motivation. I hope you don't mind if I join you all.
