@DjsMom243 I know this isn't the point of the thread, but I just wanted to let you know I started at about 240. You can do it, it's worth the struggle. Don't give up (and maybe set your initial calorie goal a little higher).0

I'm a female, 200 lbs, 5'4. My goal weight is 150. I Definitely need some motivational friends! I'm good at being a motivater for otherr people but not myself! Haha0

Yo! I'm on here a lot, if you need one of those constant mfp friends haha.My stats are pretty different from yours but our goals of health I assume ae the same
A few initial tips: browse other people's diaries for food ideas. Read all those threads that are like permanently on the forums (guide to sexypants, etc.). Log everything! With a food scale!0 -
Hi all...5'6" and 219. Aiming for 170 for now. Today is my first day using this app. Weight loss is always a struggle. Hoping to stick with it this time0

Same. I'm 5'8" (down from 5'9" - I shrank!) and began at 250. Currently stuck at 166, but will keep losing.
You can drop, too, if you work at it.0 -
you can add me! I started out at 209lbs, I'm.187lbs now, sweating my way down to 140lbs :-)0

Hey lady, I am with you. I am 5'8" and back in 2011 I started at 276 and my current weight is 176. I lost 75 lbs within the first year, then after that is slowed down, but i have been taking it off ounce by ounce, don't give up. 169 is my ultimate goal but I feel awesome.0

Hi,
Just started back using mfp last week; looking for help to stay motivated. Currently 260ish aim for 180's. Advice of my pcp suggested stating with 1800 calories. Went over once when we took kids to Dairy Queen for dinner. Otherwise my calorie intake is 1500 to 1600 any suggestions? Also I have started working out with the Total Gym or yoga on the wii fit. Work out at least 5 days a week.0 -
I'm a 43 year old 5'8" woman. My current weight is 204 and my goal is 175. Struggling really badly and would love some other people that are in the same boat as me. Please add me! Thanks0

Hi!
37yo
SW 260 (size 18-20, 2x)
CW 190ish, I think (I measure more than weigh) (size 10, M/L)
GW 150-155
5' 8"
1250-1400 cals
I mostly walk/run/hike for exercise.
I haven't lost any inches in height, but my bra size keeps changing! (And not just the band size.)
You can do it!
Add me, if you're still looking for more buddies on our journey.

Hey lady! I am definitely in the same boat! I am 5'7 213lbs and my goal is 170, followed by toning to get to 155-160. Feel free to add me!0

Ok, I'm back. I know it's not the point of this thread, but because I'm reading SO many people who seem to be in the neighborhood of where I started, I wanted to share this:
SW: 240 lbs - 45% BF - 132 lbs of lean mass
EW: 139 lbs - 30% BF - 97 lbs of lean mass
^^ please note how not lifting weights and only doing cardio resulted in me losing 101 lbs, yes, but 35 of those pounds were muscle and bones. After my weightloss I fell down a lot, bumped into walls, had no tone or coordination. I've spent 4 years putting BACK on muscle and bone so I can, you know, live and do things. (Plus 4 surgeries and 3 plates and 40+ screws to fix bones I broke since my bones were weak.) Be smarter than I was; lift some weights and do some yoga.
CW: 165 lbs - 33% BF - 111 lbs of lean mass
GW: 139 lbs - 20% BF - 111 lbs of lean mass0 -
