anybody start at 220 ?

I started at 223. I am at 194 right now..so I'm not quite at "after" yet. I am guessing I was over 200 for over 3 years. I was avoiding scales for a while. So far, my skin has been going right back with the weight. I'm 31.

I started out at 221 and I'm just to 190 today. I've been at it for 76 days. I've went from 44 inches around the waist to 37inches so far. Also, I was at 50 inches around my hips and now I'm down to 45.5 inches. I'm eating 1,200 calories a day and I started the Couch to 5k app. When I started 76 days ago I couldn't run over 1 minute. Last night I ran for 22 minutes straight. I also play roller derby, but my body got used to that work out. Once I started lifting weights though, I really noticed a difference. I want to be strong and healthy. I don't have pictures to post since I'm at work, but I thought I'd at least share my successes at about my halfway point. The key is that if you have an off day, hop right back on the bandwagon the next day. Bad days will happen. What makes the difference is what you do after that bad day! (My profile picture is me at 221, so I dont' look like that anymore)

I did! I was 220 for only a few months. I was diagnosed with hypothyroid and lost about 10 pounds when they started the mediciation. I stayed at that weight for two years, then I finally found the way of eating that worked for me and I lost the last bit in about 6 months (40-45 pounds).

I don't have pics to share on here though. I do have some posted on my website though... http://primalponderings.blogspot.com/

Hello, I started at 221 (I started MFP at 215 though). Last week I came in at 183. I don't have pictures yet but I will soon.
Feel free to send me a friend request if you need support.

I started out at 219.. I only just started June 19th, so it hasn't been that long for me to take progress pictures yet (or post them, rather) but I have lost about 14 lbs. so far... I've been around this weight for over a year so it's time for me to get back to where I belong.

I started at 227, now at 185. Goal is 160. I had been over 200 for about 4 years and had gotten over 220 and had been there about a year... My skin is a little flabby on my lower belly and arms but I can tell it's tightening up little by little. I don't know how to post pics but they are in my profile. I lost the first 20 in 3 months then have lost the last 22 in about 5 months.

I started at about 215; my pics are on my profile I didn’t start using MFP until maintenance though which is why you don’t see weight loss on my tracker.

I started at 220. I was around that for 7 years. It took 3 years total to lose the weight and get in the current shape I am in. I set my calorie goal to lose a pound a week, lifted weights and did just a little cardio. I do have some loose skin (I had two kids), but it tucks into my pants.
