    I was at my lifetime highest weight of 360 lb. Today after 5 months and 1 week I hit the -100 lb mark at 260 lb and still falling. Final goal will be 200 lb.

    I have gotten discouraged lately because I don't seem to be losing my stomach at all? Any ideas anyone?

    Patience. I looked 9 months pregnant until I'd lost over 80lbs, and was close to 200. I started at 291. I still have a ton of lose skin and flab that I fear I will never lose.

    You're doing fantastic!! You ARE a success story!!

    My highest weight was 325 the beginning last year. I got down to 247, but then three months of my birthday and then the holidays, and I'm back up to 280. I start my diet again on Monday. Fingers crossed!

    Yes. Started at 325lbs and I'm at 233lbs. I've been at this for 13months. Still a ways to go but I'm loving the progress I've made. To think how I'll feel months from now... :)

    The highest I stepped on a scale was 290 ~ 295; it's possible I got a bit higher than that. I'm down at 254 now (with still a ways to go, lol).

    Add me to the club. I was 339 at 5'2" and now down to 334, but it's taken me since 11/12. I would love some tips and input to keep me going.

    I was close (275) when I started here a bit over 600 days ago, almost 5' 6" but 20+ years older than you OP. Hang in there, it IS doable. I'm a few lbs from where I "think" I want to be.
  • Hi all~ This is my first day, and I am actually getting teary eyed seeing all the great loss ! Awesome job ! You all rock !

    I've gone from 297lbs to 185lbs and counting :smile:

    Not quite 300, but close. I'm very short too, 5'3.

    I started out at 375 - I consider Feb. 5, 2013 as my starting day as that's the day I began drinking only water (cut out my diet pop completely). I ate good nutritious foods and kept my protein levels high for good muscle strength. I am currently at 217 having lost 158 pounds in less than a year (lost the majority of it in 10 months). I did lots of exercise and began strength training on Aug. 1 and my stomach has shrunk with me for the most part with minimal excess skin. I feel amazing and actually just went downhill skiing a week ago for the first time in 30 years!!! Stick with MFP and be honest in your tracking and intake and miracles can happen. I'm proof of that.
