    I am. And it was a sad day when I finally accepted that I am morbidly obese. I weighed 303lbs. Since starting this I've lost 13lbs and I will NEVER see 300+ again.

    My highest weight was 352 in 2012. I lost 30 lbs. in 2013 and just found MFP a few weeks ago. I am at 309 now so 43 lbs. down from my highest weight. I started tracking my food about 2 weeks ago and am sticking with about 1750 -1800 calories a day. My goal is to lose 70 lbs. in 2014. I will still have plenty to lose - but it is progress. I got serious about nutrition and weight loss in May 2013 when I was diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Since that time my BP is normal with medication, my blood sugar is in the normal range with no medication and my heart disease is somewhat improved with medication. I know that the dietary changes I have made have had an effect too. My biggest challenge is exercise - my joints are shot after so many years of being so overweight and working on my feet on cement floors for 35+ years. Good luck to all who are on the same journey.

    As of today, I am under 300 lbs! That was a big goal for me. I still can't believe I let myself get that big, but I am really happy about the loss.

    I'd love for others who started in the 300s to add me as a friend.

    Hi, I started at 325... and I'm 5'4" too... so I'm 5 pounds wider! Lolz. I got down to 250 about a year ago and I gained every single pound back. I don't have any lofty goals of getting down to 125... as I should be. I just want to be under 200 pounds.

    Hi, I'm 6ft and i'm currently 324lbs which is my highest. I only started my journey a month ago and i have not lost much in terms of weight but I have started at the gym but i've dropped a dress size :)

    I'm doing this for myself but my main motivation is my wedding in August 2015.

    I would like to get down to about 210lbs.

    I started this journey with wls at 367 pounds 5/15/95. I managed to gain most of it back in 6 years time. I tried to get a revision done, but my surgeon didn't want to because I now have MS. I started with diet and exercise (and using my *tool*) October 18, 2009. October 25, 2009 I weighed 352 pounds. Today I weighed in at 232.0. I am continuing to lose and want to get down to 165-180 pounds (I haven't been 180 since the 6th grade. My BMI at 352 was 57. That qualifies as Super Obese. My BMI is now 36.3; Obese II.
