    Hi :) Tossed you a friend request.

    I started out at 271 lbs, currently 249 lbs. Best advice I can give is not to give up. The first few pounds dropped for me easily too.
    Good luck in your journey!

    HI!

    I started at 268 and am now hovering around 225/227. I've been working at this since November of 2012 and I figure it took me a really long time to get this heavy it will take me the same time to lose it.

    Hello. I started at 266 and I am down 10 pounds. I started my weight loss journey about 6 weeks ago. I will drop you a friend request and we can encourage each other along the way and hopefully have some good advice to share with one another.

    Anyone looking for the same thing feel free to add me.

    Hi, I sent you a friend request. I am starting at 220 with a starting goal of 50lbs, but realistically probably need 70+ to get into the weight range for my height.

    Hi, I started at 298.6 and I am currently 17 lbs. down in three weeks. When I feel like I am not losing anything I workout another 5 minutes.
    I also watch my intake on salt. Just watch what you eat and workout a little more. drink a lot of water. It will come off.

    I'm 5'6 and currently around 275, I've been on MFP for a while. I do good at losing about 10 to 15 lbs and then I put it back on again after a few months. Ive been trying to find some challenges to do but those all seem to fizzle out after a few weeks and i put the weight back on.

    I could use some supportive friends that are gonna stick together through this journey and give me a shove when I start slacking. I will gladly help others in return. Feel free to add me.

    Hi! I am 22 years old, 5'6 and 200 lbs. For my frame, I should realistically be at 150 - 155 lbs. so I have about 50 lbs to lose. I have been on here for a while but consistently lose motivation so have been battling between losing 10lbs and then gaining 10lbs. ...could use some encouragment too!!

    Would love some new friends! I am going to turn 40 years old this year. My highest weight was actually 316 in April of this year. I'm down to 265 lbs. My current goal weight is 179 lbs. We can do this together! My diary is open and comment (positively) whenever I can!
