    Feel free to add me my starting weight was 412 I am currently at 323. :) I log religiously for the most part. I have fell of the wagon a time or two but have not experienced a major gain just incredibly slow loss at times.

    I am considered "obese", but I think when I first started MFP, it was more like MORBIDLY obese...I have lost sixteen pounds and just FEEL so much better...I got a scare from my doctor saying I was at risk for a heart attack, so that really jolted me into doing something NOW and not when it is convenient for me...Good Luck in your journey...Feel free to add me as a friend...

    I used to not care about my sodium intake. Then 2 years ago on Christmas Eve after having eaten lots and lots of sodium, I had a major heart problem that left me unable to work and on disability because of it. So, to me, the most important thing I could preach is "cut your sodium to very low levels." You need far less than what you think. A sedentary person only needs 500 mg/day. Do not drink excessively. I see people drinking 12-15 glasses of fluids a day and eating 3000 mg of sodium. They wonder why they don't lose weight. Duhhh 15 x 8 oz is 3,600 milliliters. First off, you are not going to urinate that much fluid in a days time. The average urine output is 2000 ml/day. Second, sodium causes you to retain fluids. Drop your sodium and drink less. Don't dehydrate yourself, drink about the level of fluids that you void.

    Hello! I would love to help and support you through your journey as I am starting mine as well. At my all time highest was 300lb. This was after I put on nearly 60lbs from being diagnosed with a rare blood disorder. I am back down to a fluctuating 277-282, but I am getting married in September and want to lose a few sizes before then.
