    Thank you for all the responses! I can't believe there's others who are on the same boat as I am! I'm glad to have found you.

    I decided to make a group, I've wanted to but didn't think there would be others, now that I know that there's people who have similar goals, I did it:

    Feel free to join, or don't, doesn't matter. I appreciate the responses and those who are interested in mutual support. I will do my best to support each and every one of you that has added me :flowerforyou:

    I'm not brave enough to post my starting and current weights yet, but ultimately, I need to lose about 190 pounds total. So far, I'd lost 75, but gained back about 25, trying to get it back together. So, about 140 left to go! Add me!

    I'm right at the end of my journey, I've lost 166 lbs, I just want to wish you luck and say you really can do it, just take one day at a time and pick yourself up when you fall down, oh and be kind to yourself, firm but kind.

    Hey ya'll...I just moved back to the Washington DC area from Texas where everything and EVERYONE are really bigger! I was at my healthiest before moving down there and came back close the the heaviest I have been. I have ridden this roller coaster my entire life, and as much as there are days, months, years, were I just don't care or want to give up, I always fight. So I am slowly putting forth the energy and time this will take and just pray to God it sticks!

    I would like to gain friends that understand this journey and the challenges, but ultimately for motivation. Feel free to add me.

    I live in the Washington DC area as well. and actually wanted to move to TX. The good thing about the area here is things are a lot faster and I am way more active here than I was when I lived in Georgia

    So, I'm not actually new, I've been using this site for about a year, and as my ticker says I've lost 69 pounds (lulz) so far.

    I would like to find more friends who have goals similar to mine:

    Basically, if you have lots to lose, we can be buds :glasses: :drinker:

    I had a starting weight of 375 07/01/2013 am currently at 222 lbs this week. I have a very similar goal to yours. I am very honest and open with my food and dedicated to workouts. If you want someone to follow would be glad to share. Also will be a good encouragement.

    You!! You are where I want to be next summer! I am getting there :)

    I don't know why but I find this thread so inspiring for me. I think it's because I sometimes get overwhelmed with how much weight I have to lose and forgot there are so many of us out there. Cheers to us supermorbidly obese fatties!! ;P (keeping our drinks within caloric goals of course...)

    Hi!

    I've made great progress so far, with 42 lbs lost through lifestyle change, diet change, and exercise. I been going it alone so far, with encouragement from my boyfriend who's been working out with me and a friend who's working out too, but has a different regime than me. Love to be more accountable and supportive!

    I am not new to MFP but it is the first time I am using it religiously. I feel a little overwhelmed that I have 151lbs to lose and that the scale just tipped over 300 to 301. I vowed never to get to that weight.....and here I am.

    I will literally be half my size when I meet my goal weight. I will be so excited to be there but getting there is going to be a challenge.

    Feel free to add me. I am always looking to more friends!

    Anyone have any tips for losing?

    Hi everyone, So glad to find this little group. So, I'm almost sure I had joined this before but alas, I didn't do much with it.
    I just turned 45 this week and started this journey again. Having lost weight in the past, I know that my problem is nighttime 'snacks', not eating at the right time and a basic sedentary lifestyle.

    I've started walking and watching what I eat again.

    SW: 280
    CW: same
    GW: 160
    Total weight to lose: 120
    Height: 5"7'

    Hopefully I'll figure these tools out & read your success stories to keep myself motivated and in turn, be able to motivate others!

    Forgot to add: Add me please ;)
