    I was 288 when I started ....down to 260 now ....The one good thing is you will burn a crazy amount of calories by just walking ( or doing anything really) . Start off slow and do what you can and it will happen . I know for myself , that I don't see too much in the mirror yet , but have went down a couple pant sizes and feel much better ......feel free to add me and anyone else that wants to add me is welcome too :)

    I rededicated myself to this site at the end of August weighing in at 294 and I'm 269 as of last Thursday. I only weigh myself every two weeks because seeing 5 lbs is much more motivating that seeing 1 or 2 after working your butt off. The previous guy was right, just walking can burn a ton of calories at our weight. Since I've been doing this for 3 months now I'm able to push myself harder and I use the elliptical at the gym for 45 minutes total and mix strength training in there. My goal weight is 145 because I love my curves and would prefer not to be rail thin. I have great support at home so I'd love to offer support to someone else too! Good luck on your journey!! :bigsmile:
