in Motivation and Support
I have joined MFP for a while now and just started back up again. I had gained 20 lbs from my absence and I just feel like a loser.

I need fellow friends who are 300 plus pounds and are on their journey to losing it too or if you have been in my shoes to give me motivation and encouragement and some tips!

Thank you all!

    I was close to 400 lbs when I started my Journey in November of 2013. Down a little over 100 lbs now. Always looking for more friends. :)

    I first joined over a year ago and didn't do much with the application. Truth is, I never logged in, kept eating too much and not moving my body. When I started back at this in March I was at 308, my blood sugar was out of control and I had just about given up. But I started logging everyday, walked the little that I could and with support from friends here, I've lost 36 pounds. Not a huge number, but it's 36 pounds less than what I was in March! Every day I get up and try again, stay with the calorie allotment, get some exercise, eat veges and fruit, drink my water. My fasting blood sugar the other morning was 98! Was 118 this morning, but that's still better than the 480 when I was diagnosed with diabetes and the average of 165 earlier this year. Can't say enough for the great support from friends on MFP.

    I am with you! We will do this together.

    Feel free to add me as a friend and we will encourage one another. Anyone else reading this thread, feel free to add me as well.

    Started at 335. Then stopped using MFP for a few months. Lost 35 pounds or so, running.. now I am back with a goal of being more consistent with my nutrition and with being healthy in general.

    I'm here if you need some more support. I've been doing well so far and hoping to leave any weight starting with a 3 behind me really soon.

    My starting weight was 257 a few months ago, now I'm 238-ish. Been over 200 lbs most of my life. I could use some more friends who are bigger like me/have more to lose helps to have people we relate to in that way! :)
