    I started in June of 2014 but didn't get motivated until Sept. I was up to 218 and the biggest I have ever been in my life. I started using an elliptical machine and doing some light strength training and finally got into a routine. I am down to about 180 now but still have a long way to go. I would love to be in your group and will do my best to encourage and help keep you motivated. Good luck!!

    Anyone else having trouble adding friends? I can't seem to send friend requests to anyone.

    Me! I am currently about 205, and looking to get to 150 (and probably a little more after that, but 150 is my first major goal!). I would love new friends for motivation and support! I plan to log daily, and my dairy is open :) Please feel free to add me!!

    Peaked at 209, now at 188, aiming for below 150. First time I've shared those numbers (at least the first two!) with anyone, but this feels like a safe place since so many of us are in the same boat. Together, we can do this!

    I am at about 245 and shooting for 185. I am 5'10" and 60 years old. I would love to find a friend who is also tall, "mature," and in the same weight zone. It would be fun. Best wishes to all of you! Our bodies will forgive us very quickly if we start treating them right.

    I am as well! The biggest thing for me is motivation. I always start, but then I get busy with school or I am too tired to do anything. Last year I did a workout for a good two months but then I stopped

    BUMP! I am 25 years old, 180 and would like to get down to about 120-130 (I am 5'4). The best shape of my life I was at 118 with a rock hard body. Since turning 21 I discovered my love of booze, I am also a huge foodie so the weight has really crept on. Some pretty intense hardships made me comfort eat my way up to where I am now. I've been on MFP for years and never stuck to it. This is going to be the year! add me = )

    I am in the same boat. I started at 340 last november. By Jan. I was 300 but I was using the Omnitrition drops, which are a scam btw. I lost all that because they have you eating 500 calories a day. My brother showed me this app this Thanksgiving and I have lost 18 lbs. My tricks are exercise everyday, marking down a lesser number in the calories burned exercise calculator, and marking down EVERY BITE thats goes in your mouth. I couldn't believe how much I was eating until I actually saw it. My goal is 220 so I have about 60 lbs left.
    Keep up the good work, it's is one of the hardest things to do but if it were easy, it wouldn't be worth it.
