Hello all, my name is Christina. My highest weight was around 290, at the moment I'm at 275ish, started on MFP at 280. Over all my goal is to lose 100lbs, but I'll probably tweak from there and see what I feel like being. I'm fairly confident this time - I know what I feel like in an unsustainable race to lose, and that's not me this go round. I'd love to have some friends on here with similar stats, whether you are just starting, or you're already a success story.

    :D My bad! If I was that tall I don't think I would need to be losing any weight....

    Right? Haha. I started out at 237lbs this January (I'm 5'8") and am down to about 211lbs if you'd like to add me. My all-time highest weight was 255lbs or so. I'm just about eating at a caloric deficit, everything in moderation, and doing exercise that you love.

    So far I've just been focusing on eating healthier, and keeping under/around my calorie goal. I think that I'll give it a couple months just focusing on diet, then I might start some exercise, probably weight training. Not good at keeping with cardio. The last time I lost around 40 lbs, and the only exercise was going walking when I felt like it.
