    Your story is inspiring! Thank you!
  • I started AT 250, if that counts. Anyone who wants more support, feel free to add me. :)
  • I started at 245, that was my breaking point for me as I had promised myself if I hit 250, I didnt want to live anymore. That mentality is gone anyway, and I'm at 226 right now, working hard. I forgot how hard it was to really exercise and I could always use more friends :)

    Congrats to you for making the choice to live healthier! It's a commitment that not everyone is willing to do. So kudos for that!!! I started at the heighest weight of my life. I was 302.6 lbs. Currently I am between 224-229. I have been at this for a year now. I just celebrated my 380th day of logging today!

    Feel free to add me for encouragement and mutual support!
  • I am starting at over 300, add me we can help motivate each other :)

    I was heavier than that when I started in March 2013. Get motivated and get moving. It is possible. I hadn't tried to lose weight in 20 years. Exercise and water is the key. Get on a plan and stick to it. I used Dr Ian Smith's book "Shred : The Revolutinary Diet. If you mess up or cheat , forgive yourself and start all over again . Stick to it. Good luck.

    Lately, I've been more active on the forums than in my own diary, but I'm on here at least twice a day. My highest weight is somewhere between 313 and 315. Right now I'm at 303. The goal is to get to anywhere between 180 and 150. Feel free to add me!

    I currently weigh 268lb even with a bit of a Hiccup of being a bit slack for the last 3 months and gaining a bit I've lost 24lb since the beginning, I'm feeling like this is achievable and I've never felt that way before.:heart:

    Last time I didn't join the community things or make friends I think this will really help, so anyone please feel free to add me as a friend

  • I started at 325.4 on January 1. My current goal is to drop to 200. After that, it will be what it will be, but I want to get back to a weight range I know I've been comfortable at before.
