    I too have reached a point in my life where I need to lose a lot of weight. It doesn't bother me to stand or walk though. I thought I was around 285-290 until last night when I was talking to my mom about creating a diet plan and she said first I need to find out what I can consume a day in calories but to do that I needed to weigh myself, so I pulled out the old digital scale and found myself to have sadly and finally reached the 300s. As of last night I weighed in at 311 pounds and last time I tried to find dress pants (because I volunteer at a local theatre and need them for dress code) the largest I could find anywhere I looked was a size 44 and that's to tight, I can wear em but I would do better in a 46. So I have come to the realization I need to lose weight and a lot of it. My goal is to get down to 240, sept 2 years ago I was 248 so I know I can do it, once I get down to 240 I plan to work on getting to 200 but I'll be happy at 240.

    I know it won't be easy or quick but you're not in this battle alone.

    I've gained weight, lost weight, gained weight, lost weight, and you guessed right - gained it back, again. :|

    I'm 25 years old and I weigh more than I'd like to admit to anyone (at least not on a public forum). I will say that this is the heaviest I've ever been. It hurts to stand/walk around when going grocery shopping or just doing the dishes. I can't live like this and I surely won't at this rate. I've been on so many diets, but the thing that has worked for me in the past is using MFP to count calories, so I've decided to come back and really put some effort into it again!

    Unfortunately, the support I have around me isn't much support, though. While I am ultimately responsible for my choices, actions, and the consequences that follow, it gets hard to resist the temptations of either eating unhealthy again or missing a workout, then falling into the same bad habits again.

    I've never interacted with the community before, but thought that I would give it a shot this time. Everyone seems to be so friendly and willing to cheer one another on. I would love for some of that to come my way, as well as to have people to cheer on myself.

    Send me a friend request, message, or whatever you'd like. It's nice to know there are people who are in the same situation, or previously were in the same situation, and how they're working on it, or how they've accomplished their goals.

    Proud of you for taking the first step! It's the hardest. I'm on a similar journey to lose at least 110 and then decide from there. Starting week 6 today! I never thought I'd get here. 28 years old and struggle my whole life and have debilitating back and foot pain. Let's do this! Yes we can !
