    I started my MFP journey at 321 pounds and dropped about 85 pounds in just a little over a year. Then I lost my motivation and fell off the wagon bad. Over the last year and a half I have been spotty on MFP and gained 60 pounds back. I am rejoining and I have cleared the board. My current starting weight is 295. I eventually want to weigh in around 170 but that is a long way off. I believe in mini-goals and my first mini-goal is 285. My year long goal for this year is to get down to 250 or less. Then I will aim for under 200. Anyone on this post please feel free to add me. I need new friends to get remotivated. Like the OP I need people (both male and female) who can inspire me with their own journey and listen as I share mine. I am going to ad OP as requested but please, if anyone else is still reading this post, I could use some friends too!

    I actually started on ww in 2012 at 256lbs. I'm currently at 228, but after losing my motivation and going up and down the same few lbs for far too long I've come here for a fresh start. Feel free to add me :-)

    Hi there. I'm still not comfortable mentioning what I weigh or weighed. But I fit in this category and looking for motivational friends. Anyone can feel free to add me... although I still roller-coaster because I don't really know what I'm doing. Sometimes I think I've figured it out, and then it all goes (uphill) again.

    To be honest I am scared of the scale. I have been on and off MFP for a few years but this time, starting at just the beginning of this month, will be permanent. I had weighed myself last year and logged it so just went from there really, 266. I am hoping to lose 100 lbs, however I have never been lighter than 163 in my adult life so if I hit 180 I will be ecstatic! Good luck on your journey, add me and I look forward to your success!

    Started at 310. 240 as of today. I've been up and down the past year, but I'm really re-focusing my efforts in weight lifting and trying to drop another 50-60 pounds.

    I started at 251 last January and am now down to ~230. I'm working my way to 200. I usually just balance calories in versus calories out and it seems to work wonders! Good luck!

    I love this thread. I read it every day because it is so inspiring. Both to see the people who have lost 40, 60, 80, 100 lbs and more... and to see those who are just starting (I'm at 20lb) ... We have such a challenging, yet wondrous journey ahead.

    For me, a journey home to a self I have never fully known..

    and I am looking forward to meeting her, perhaps like Michaelangelo's words 'Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it'

    I'm scultping my life, and looking forward to discovering what's inside.
