    I'm 5'7" and at 240. My heaviest ever. I have a 5 year old little girl & I don't want her to 'miss out on life' because I'm too selfish to take care of myself. I also just lost my mom to breast cancer a month ago--and my odds for cancer are higher being overweight.
    I read a great quote recently & it really convicted me: "As a parent it's your responsibility--at the bare minimum--to make every attempt to stay alive." Ouch. I do nothing to care for myself. I have had two days of healthy eating. It seems I have so far to go that it feels hopeless.....hoping the support here will keep me motivated. My weight is holding me back from so much!

    I am not in the 200 pound category any more, but I once was in your same shoes at 267. I am now at 169. I can't believe I have made it this far, although I lost thirty or forty pounds before joining MFP it was alot of several up and down moments. Since I have joined MFP my weight loss has greatly been more consistent and the support here is awesome. So anyone that would like to add me as a friend go ahead and do so. I enjoy the support of others but enjoy supporting others more. : )

    I spent 10 years there. I just want to share support and motivation. We all know that it's not easy, but it is possible. Every pound that I have lost has been earned, but you can do it!

    Just recently crossed over that 200lb line, about 6 months ago. My niece is a fitness trainer and I just can't keep up in her classes. she recommended this site. Hopefully this will help.

    I would love to have some ladies to make this tough journey with. I'm at my all-time high weight of 240. I have a wonderful, funny, smart, beautiful 5-year-old girl (and a 23-year-old son who survived a 100+ mph motorcycle crash last year) who I want to stay alive for. A month ago I lost my mom to breast cancer & I'm so scared of the added risk my extra-weight causes. I always 'do good' for a few days, then look at the huge amount of weight I have to lose & give up hope. If you add me, I will be a good weight-loss friend to you! :flowerforyou:

    You can do it ladies!

    I started off ultimately at 230lbs, joined MFP at 224lbs and now I am 197lbs. I cannot recall a time when I was this light. You can do it!

    I could really use some support from ladies in my same range.
    I joined MFP when I was 250lb and I thought that was "AWFUL"...I then quit using the site after I got married and gained a 30lb slab.

    I've lost some,but my tracker doesn't show because of my original sign up weight was that dreaded/now desired 250lb...I can't wait to get back to a lower weight.

    I'm 5ft 5inches

    Feel free to add me I've been going for some time..weights up and down like a yoyo!

    Today I weighed in and i have finally lost just over 2 stone (since starting mfp). A friend took a photo the other day and I thought to myself thats it! so really stuck to it this week and it paid off as I lost 2.1kg (over 4lbs).

    Todays weight: 205.25lbs (93.1kg)

    I came on today looking for some more friends I lost a lot when I let my goal lapse after an injury and gained everything plus back I was on the horizon of reaching 200 lbs. . I am back at it and already feel better and having success during my first week. No looking back now.
    I'm 30 years old and looking to start a family soon so I want to be able to run after the kids! Not to mention fit in a beautiful wedding dress with no self loathing.

    SW: (second time around) 241.9
    CW: 239
    Goal: 180

    Please add me too!

    Just added several of you...but for anyone I missed, feel free to add me!!! Have used MFP before but am newer to the social/support side of it. Need some accountability buddies, for sure!!

    I'm 25, have successfully lost weight...but always gained it back. I've struggled with eating my whole life...either addicted to it or terrified of it. I've never had a healthy relationship with food and am looking to achieve one through clean eating and realistic, non-obsessive exercise. Would love to be weight loss buddies and cheer one another on!

    Highest Weight: 232
    Lowest Weight: 162
    Starting Weight: 229
    Current Weight: 229
    Goal Weight: 170 (Maybe lower...but trying not to be unrealistic. Also want mega muscle in the poundage!)
