Hi - I'm new to the group, but I've been using MFP (consistently) since August - started at 334, and currently at about 306. My ultimate goal is 130 (I'm 5'1), but if I can get to around my high school weight of 190, I can definitely live with that. I made it to my first goal, which was to lose more than 10 pounds (I have never lost more than 10 pounds trying to lose weight, so it's a pretty big deal for me). My next goal, which I hope to get to by my birthday next month, is to lost about 35 total and get under 300 for the first time in several years.

I joined the group because of wanting to be a support and find support from those who have been in a similar place with a lot to lose.
