    I am just getting started on MFP but am working hard at it and log in every day. I'd like to drop around 70lbs. I am always open to new friends.

    I am 25 and 5ft even. I have a two year old little boy, and I started (again!) at 260lbs. So far I have lost about 10lbs, looking to lose 90+ more. Add me! :) On nearly everyday.

    I will add a pic soon... I am probably sitting around 326 right now and hope to get to 175. I have always been heavy but it is time for this to change. If you want a friend for the long haul, I'm it. About a month ago I had a "warning stroke" which is basically a small, temporary stroke and a big old shot of reality that I have a real stroke headed my way. I am 37 and that is NOT going to happen. I haven't been weighing myself because the weight isn't all that important to me. I expect to lose weight but right now, I am playing for my life. I have a lot of living to do and would love some friends for along the way.

    I would love to have some friends (support) from those that are in the same boat as I am. I have been heavy for as long as I can remember. At my heaviest I was 280lbs but several years ago I was able to drop 80lbs. Well as often happens I started turning to food for comfort and here I am creeping back up the scale. I am now back up to 238 and need to stop the climb!!

    I started out at 330+, I'm not really sure what I was but the wiifit did not let me work out with it because I exceeded the weight limit. Looking on losing probably around 100+ when it's all said and done.

    Hiya, I started at around 220 want to get down to about 150 (ish ) but its all aobut being fit and healthy rather thna being a certain size for me - Im hoping when I get there I will know it. I try and track every day and Im trying really hard to cycle swim or walk everyday but as you can see from this weeks diary - I do keep slipping.

    Take Care all

    I tipped the scale at just over 400lbs recently and need to lose 200lbs. Having lost a lot of weight and regaining it all back plus more again and again, it's time to get serious and make a lifestyle change before the onset of serious medical issues prevent me from achieving my goals. MyFitnessPal has been a big help so far by tracking my meals and exercise and am looking for people in a similar situation for added support.

    I am just restarting again. I lost a bunch of weight because of this site but then had to have surgery and gained it back and a little more. Definitely feel free to add me as a friend so we can all stay motivated.

    I weigh close to 230 and would like to get down to 150. I want to fit into decent clothes again and be able to get up from a sitting position without my legs protesting! I am feeling a little bit better and I have only been doing this for four days. It has helped me keep myself in check!

    Anyone can feel free to add me. I need all the support I can get. I also like to give others support and try to motivate them as well!

    Hi! I started at 332 and I am now down to 190lbs. 58 to go until I am in the normal BMI range. That would put me at exactly 200 pounds lost. I really don't know if my body will get there without having plastic surgery to remove some excess skin. By the way, getting older sucks butt because your skin doesn't exactly bounce back as well. Oh well, would rather have some excess skin than carry around an extra person or 2.

    Enjoy the journey! It has been life altering,
