    At first I clicked on your post and saw that your starting weight was only 268 and then I clicked out, because the jealous person inside of me was saying she's not that big, she'll be fine. Then I told myself WAIT click on her post again and read it. And i realized that I want to be under 200 pounds also. I have lost 37 pounds since I have been on this weight loss journey and boy has it been hard. Now that I'm out of the 300's I still have that fat girl inside of me pulling me down telling me that I can't do this, and I believe that we can all do this with a little support, in my case I need a lot of support because I've been a basket case lately. Good luck to you girlfriend because we all need it!!! :smile:

    You can ALL do it! I started at 280 and am now at 171. It took me approximately 8 months to get under 200. I have been struggling a bit lately...not gaining but not losing either. And that's my fault as I am having trouble staying on track. But I keep reminding myself that this is a journey..it will take time, have it's ups and downs. I will get to my goal eventually. Good luck all!

    Hi!! My name is Laura. I currently weight 301.0. Can I still join this group? My goal is to get under 200 pounds and then my final goal is to be 115 pounds. I am very short. Standing at only 5' 1 1/2" tall so this goal weight would put me at a healthy BMI,

    I would love to do this!! My CW is 214.5 but I started MFP at 251 and at the new year I was 246. It seemed so far away at first but now I am so close!! I just want to hurry up and get there!

    Let me share my tips so far. I get the Clean Eating Magazine and use that for reciepe ideas. It is all fresh and unprocessed foods which helps not only with calories but overall health and in keeping sodium low. If I really want a treat I still have one, but in a very small portion- individual hageen dazs cups at the store are my best friends. I exercise 6 days a week for 45 minutes and I use a HRM to make sure I am accurately catching my cals burned. I eat at least 1200 cals a day, and most of the time I do eat my exercise cals back, but not just in crap in good healthy things like the delicious watermelon I am enjoying now.

    I also look towards NSVs so I measure myself once a month- typically on the 1st of the month and I care just as much about my fitness as I do my weight loss. I hope these are some good starting tips and I can't wait to hear how you all do it!!
