    I would love to be added to this group too. Currently at 210 and have been as high as 230...lost the same 15 pounds twice in the last 2 years..this time I'm NOT going to gain it back....its gone and staying gone...but need all the help I can get to keep me motivated. I, too, will be taking a picture of the scale when it gets to 199.9 then I will set my long term goal (I have one in mind but getting below 200 is my first goal).

    I am just starting. I am at 260 pounds! I want to lose a total of 110 pounds! I have been using the tracker since last Friday and love it. I am definitely looking for support. I do have a cheat day per the program I am doing through my Doctor's office so I am not recording on Saturday. :)

    I'm in! My story is the same as many of you. I've lost the weight and gained so many times but when I gain I seem to go above 200 and have a hard time getting below and keeping it off. My first goal is 180 and I'm 1/3 of the way there but getting below 200 is my challenge! My second goal will be another 30 pounds to be around 150 or so. We can do this! Friend me if you want too!

    I'm stuck at just above 200 right now and it drives me crazy. I just want to get into the 90's to feel like I'm progressing. I've lost 11 as of my last weigh. My highest has been 217 a little over a year ago but I started at 212.6 on January 3rd on MFP. So I just keep at it and know it will eventually drop... I seem to lose pounds in clumps rather than steadily like other people. Or it goes ounce by ounce!

    I too am trying to break the 200 mark, currently 212 - no motivation - no will power, so hopefully seeing other people with positive results will spur me on....:happy:
