    Hi! I am 5'10 and currently 253...with my highest being 267. More than anything...I would like to make it back to "onederland". I would love some support, accountability and encouragement as I attempt the long hard journey l back in that direction! It is so hard to have the conversations with all the women I know that need to lose 10 pounds so they can fit back in their size 4 jeans!

    When I do break 199, that sound you all hear will not be a sonic boom, it will be me celebrating

    ^^
    This is just what I was going to say - the day I see a number under 200, I will be a shrieking maniac. It'll be a few more months, but I'm preparing my vocal chords already because I'm going to get there!!!

    I have been in the 300s for a short time and in the 200s for over twenty years...now back in the 100s...you guys can do it, if I can!!

    As someone who's been 280+ and got down to 190, regained and is now back up to 250 this made my day. It's never over unless you quit.

    Started at 248.5, just hit 189 (last time I was down here, Carter was President). You can do it--you just have to want it.

    You'll get there. I started at 239 and just hit 199.8 today. I have never been more excited to see a number on the scale. Perseverance and never give up will get you to where you want to be. Good luck. You can add me if you're looking for more friends.

    Congratulations!!

    I am at 209.7 as of today. I started just a few weeks ago at 216. The last time I was under 200 was last year, shortly after I had my baby, but then I gained a whole lot because I was so sedentary with the newborn. Having a baby is so exhausting, but it doesn't burn enough calories for how tired it makes you!

    My parents and sister are coming for a visit at the end of May and I am hoping to have seen a 1 in the hundreds place by then.

    i'm in this camp. at my heaviest i was over 250. about two years ago i changed my eating habits tremendously and dropped about 30 pounds. of course it was around this time i found out my scale was faulty--see, i thought i was starting at 230, and the scale was finally showing me 199, and i was so stoked! ...and then i weighed myself on two separate scales in friends' homes and discovered that my scale at home was 20 pounds off. i was so dejected that i had to tack 20 more pounds onto my end goal that i literally beat my scale with a bat out in the driveway and went into diet-stasis for awhile. i gained back 10, which is actually kind of a testament to how dramatically i changed my eating habits during the initial weight loss.

    so here i am again! at 230, still 20 pounds down from that initial 250, shooting for 150. 150 is the ~REACH FOR THE STARS~ goal; i will probably relentlessly leak joy-fluids all over friends and family when i hit 170. i haven't been under 200 since high school, and i have never been anything but overweight pretty much since i was born. i am pumped to get to the "slightly above average" category.

    My highest weight was 218lbs while pregnant (so it totally doesn't count), now I am 204.6. Desperate to be in the 100's. I'll be so happy when I get to the 190's, then my next goal is the 170's (last time I lost weight I quit at 180). My ultimate goal is the 140's. All my fellow 200 pounders can add me and we can go to Onederland together :)

    I started at 285 well that's the weight I'm admitting to but more than likely it was higher than that. But after about 15 months of learning about nutrition, what my body is capable of doing and lots of other fun things, I'm down to 179 as of today.

    So you can do it!


    Saw you on another thread. Just wanted to say.... You. Are. Awesome.

    Started at 265lbs after baby #2 .247 when she was 3 mon old and I started MFP. Got to 202lbs and kept stalling 15lbs up and down over and over again!! First goal was 199lbs and ultimate was 165lbs at 5'6. Now I am 8 wks pregnant and 220lbs......still logging at maintenance. I don't want to gain 45lbs like last 2 pregnancies! I am constantly up and down....I was 215 last week!! if you log on everyday and are serious about this add me. I am a great supporter and motivator as long as I get it in return!

    I started my journey at 200 pounds, lost about 25 pounds, then put it back on and MORE!
    I would love to have some friends on here with similar goals as me! Back to the 100s! Feel free to add me!

    I started my journey at 238 lbs, lost about 30 through WW, came to MFP and stopped after I got down to 189- now am back. Once I saw 2** on the scale again I knew I had to come back, so here I am at 196.8 lbs. Feel free to add me as well!

    You may add me if you would like. I started losing weight (unsupported) last June when I weighed in at 236. I joined MFP the beginning of February (after losing 16 pounds) when I weighed 220. I have lost another 16 since then. So, current weight= 204. But I can see that line to get past the 200 mark. I would love to help you stay motivated!

    Not sure if its been mentioned already... and I don't have the time right now to read all the current comments... BUT if you don't already. Go on instagram and follow some people who are currently or already finished their weight loss journeys! THEY motivate my a lot!!

    I started over again after having a bad year last year.. Last year around this time I was 270ish.. I was having a hard time with depression and stress and just went off the wagon with food intake.. In March I had to step on a scale for the first time in almost a year.. It was shocking and made me realize I had to stop the stress eating. I came in at 306. I've been taking things day by day now for about 6 weeks and I'm down 22lbs. I'm still huge and I can hardly tell I've lost anything. But the weekly loss has slowed down now and I'm now in the long road of eating better and playing the waiting game.

    I just try and keep around a 1500cal diet and do meal replacements when I'm feeling blue and don't want to cook. A lot of people don't like things like slimfast but for me it's helpful when I'm feeling depressed and cooking is the last thing I want to do

    I look at other successes stories for a boost, it helps me feel like someday I can get their too. :)

    To get to Onederland throw away hope and try and replace it with will and now. Good luck folks it is a pretty cool land, allows your muscles to recover quicker after a run or swim, your joints will not sound like a Cuban Band or Rice Krispies, and best of all, you sleep better.

    I started at about 210 (I managed to keep at that weight for about 3 years). After 1 month on MFP (and 1 month before of mostly clean eating) I've lost a little over 12 lbs and I'm finally under the 200 mark. I jumped off my scale and did a little dance :)
