I'm at 322 from a high of 328. Knees were starting to hurt. I want to be at a weight where if I fell and couldn't get up, I wouldn't have to worry about how many firemen it would take to get me up. That's been taking up space in my head for a while now.0

I am so pleased to be under 300lb I lost 9lb in my first week feels so good
I am 51 years old
10 years ago I lost about 138lb but put it all back on and more I was down to 140lb ( I lost half of me )
I did not lose the weight for me ( a friend said there was no point me trying as I could not do it ) and I think that was the problem i was never happy all I saw in the mirror was me not happy missing out on chocolate and think I never really saw I was small.
instead of seeing a person that could go in any shop and get clothes, could do anything I liked and not have to sit down every five minutes, and I could have chocolate but only small amounts.
So I just ate and ate and my health has got real bad I now have very high blood pressure and diabetes type2 and my asthma is very bad.
This time I am doing this for ME , for my health , to come off some of the tablets I have to take.
I want to play/run with my grand children not just sit there and watch them play
I want to walk my dogs ( I can't at the moment so I just sit here while my husband goes out with them)
So this time I will lose it and keep it off this time it's for ME
So happy for you. Being out of 300 is a big deal and it will only get better.0 -
I started at 310 this year and now am at 304. I feel a bit silly saying this, but is this a "real" loss of 6 lbs or just "water weight"? My problem is that I am chained to my desk all week and have been very inactive up until now. The first week on holiday break I struggled to get over 150 pts on my misfit flash that I got for christmas. I also struggle with eating as I'm never hungry and often skip meals. As I don't eat in the morning and am not active, my metabolism is never jumpstarted and seems to cling to everything! I've always been self confident, and have't had a lot of what I considered to be consequences of my weight, however I am getting older (34) and don't want to push my luck! So far I'm logging everything, and mainly trying to teach myself to eat and drink water. I have a lot to learn!0

This has actually happened to me. It is beyond humiliating...I hope it never happens to me again!!0 -
48 to go to reach 299. I've set my goal date for this for my 31st Birthday in August.
So far I'm on track. 0 -
I made it. As of January 27th I reached 299.2. It's still so hard to believe because I have trust issues with my scales. It's been 14 years since I have seen a number below 300. I love MFP and all my friends and I'm am thankful for all the support and sharing you have given me. I still have so much to lose but I can now look at it one day at a time. I'm so happy.0

That's awesome!
Don't think that just because you're under 300 pounds that you can leave the group! We need you for inspiration!0 -

I was over 405 in July 2014. (Not sure exactly how high. My scale goes to 400. When I started I got ERR as my readout, but after a couple of weeks it said 405. Now I am at 368.0

I finally broke out of the 300s back in October. That was a fantastic feeling. There was something about seeing a 2 as the first number that made me feel as if I wasn't quite so huge. Right now I'm 47 pounds away from ONEderland!0
