Welcome and congrats on making the decision to use My Fitness Pal.
I started my journey of becoming more healthy at the end of March 2012. At that time, I weighed 273 pounds. Now 22 months later, I am down to my goal weight of 155 pounds. I use My Fitness Pal daily and added exercise in along the journey.

Add me. started between 260 and 270 (my scale broke for a while and I had no interest in buying a new one at the time), trying my damnedest to get to 180. 5-10, muscular hourglass build, large frame.0

I started a week ago at 248. Feel free to add me. :happy:0

I started this month at 253, I have lost 2 pounds so far and would love to be friends who have similar goals. Mine is to lose 80 pounds. I hope it will strengthen the motivation in all of us!0

I started at 260 and down 30 lbs and then since holiday put a couple back on but lost a few, now only have 3 to lose to get back to 30 lost - but have a long way to go - goal weight is about 140. Please feel free to add me - I like to have friends that are close to my own size and/or age too - so that I feel like our journey and struggles may be comparable and understood better.0

I started out at 290 January of 2013. I joined weight watchers and got down to 274. I stopped going because I couldn't afford it anymore. gained back 9 pounds. my doctor then referred me to a nutritionist. That was last september. I am now 257. My first mini goal is 250 pounds. My ultimate weight goal is to weigh 126. I don't care if it takes me 2 years to do it. I log in everyday and love new friends. feel free to add me.0

At my highest I was 286 . . . I did a small bit and brought it down to 268 which is where I started last March.
I PROMISED myself that I would dedicate 30 days to SOMETHING that got me moving. By the time the 30 days were over I had established a good habit. My first goal was to lose 10 lbs. I am now down 48 lbs and moving in the right direction. It hasn't been fast but it has been steady. I've averaged about 4.8 lbs a month. I'll get where I'm going. For a mental picture I started out in my favorite jeans (Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans) but they were a 24W. I've gone from that 24w down through 22w, 20w, 18w, 16w, 16 and am now in 14's!!! I am shooting for a 10 and if an 8 shows up I'll be delighted.
Anyone who wants to add me I'll be delighted.
BTW I've started a blog today that will be documenting how I am keeping moving and what my menus are as well as keeping focused and a positive mental attitude.
Please join me - we can do it!

I started @ 315 a couple of years ago. I lose some weight and then maintain for a while and then realize that I know I need to lose more. So, this last time (August 2013) I decided that I needed to make some real lifestyle changes and do it for myself. I was at 283 and now I am down to 249. My goal weight is 175 but I know that I have to take it one step at a time. You can do it!0

Started at 265, around 240 now (haven't weighed in 2 weeks). I started off strong, got super busy at work so stopped working out which led to stop counting calories. Getting back on track but have been sick with one thing or another for just over a month. ALMOST back to healthy enough to get some exercise started again. Going to try this weekend and see how it goes. Anyone feel free to add me. My diary is open to friends.0

This is the beginning of my journey. I currently weigh 280.4 - the largest I have ever been, and I refuse to continue my life this way!
I want to do an Aerial Adventure course
I want to be able to zip line
I want to be able to do rock climbing (indoor)
I want to race my 5 year old
I want to participate in one of the silly obstacle races (like the ROC race, not a tough mudder or spartan dash)
I will make this happen! So, I'm with you Tiffany!! :-)0 -

Just an update to recognize to myself that I've been making progress. It doesn't always feel like it but this post was January 30th. I am now 223, so almost another 20 pounds gone. :drinker:0 -

Well arent you a peach? Maybe when you lived a little longer than 18 years, you'll learn some manners and compassion. Or maybe not..0
