Hey! I've had this account for awhile, but finally I am actually using it.

I would love to have someone to keep me in line with it and help me to drop this weight!!! I'm 325lbs and very motivated due to my health issues... So helping me with this I will be forever grateful!!!

    you're starting at about the same weight I did. It takes a lot of work and there will be a lot of slip ups but you've got this. Let your family be your motivation. It was mine. Here's a link to a bit of my story and some of the things I'm doing now.

    I'm here for the same reasons. Need to loose about 80 pounds to get healthier. We are all pulling for you.

    That's awesome Runfoorun! Congrats to you!

    Bstewart1973: Yes! I actually need to loose close to 100lbs! Or more!!!. But that's OK. It takes one pound at a time....

    Also for future reference. My scale at home didn't work properly... I still weigh around 350lbs... But that's OK! I'm still gonna lose it!

    We're on the right track! I also need to lose around 100lbs to be at a healthy weight for my height.
