in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone! My name is Kayti Windham I am 5'4 270 pounds. I've never weighed this much in my life! Right now I'm aiming to reach the 200 mark by October 26 which is my birthday! My husband and I have set a reward for when I reach it.. A SHOPPING SPREE! He doesn't want me to get below 230 because he likes thick girls but my health is also important to him. I'm looking for friends with simular interest and weight loss. I do a low calorie diet and I just got an elliptical so.I will be using it. Having two kids it's hard to hit a gym.

    Welcome! I'm almost exactly in your same situation. 5'4, started at 275 lbs. Never been this heavy in my life! 3 weeks on MFP, and with the amazing motivation of people on here, I've lost 16lbs (and counting!) It's definitely do-able! Add me as a friend if you want the extra accountability, and we can help each other out!

    Hi! I am around the same height and was 200 when I started this. Tomorrow has been a week since calorie counting so I'll weigh-in then. I am at my heaviest now and it's awful! I would love to help you and have you help me!

    I too need to lose over 100 lbs. I'm 5'4 and weight 260 lbs. I've never been this heavy and am miserable. I just started a medically supervised low carb diet, since I've gained almost 50 lbs in the last year. Look for motivation, support, and camaraderie. Please add me!

    You have a great goal to strive for! (and after losing the weight, you'll definitely be ready for a shopping spree) I'm in the same boat... 5'3" and 200+ lbs. I've found MFP to be a good way to keep myself accountable. Feel free to add me and we can all help keep each other motivated! :)

    Hi Kayti! Even though I am far smaller than you, I believe we could be good friends and motivation for each other. We are fairly close in height(I'm 5'3.) Hope we can talk! ☺️

    Hi Kayti, I'm Cindy and although our situations are a little different ( I'm 5' 7, 203 lbs, only 18, no kids, and not married) I think we could give each other motivation and I would love to have a MFP friend, please feel free to add me ! ☺
