in Getting Started
hey everyone. I'm starting (yet again) at around 380 pounds. I have stopped and started numerous times but I'm determined to do it. Feel free to add me as a friend, I'd love to chat with people who are at a similar weight or anyone who's on a weight loss journey regardless of their stats. Good luck everyone!

    I started with at least 110 to lose to get to a healthy BMI.
    Just look 5 lb ahead. Eventually they'll sneak up on you and you'll
    be surprised at how far you've come, how much you've lost.

    And celebrate every milestone -
    every 5 lb, every BMI number, when you go from obese to merely
    overweight, and when you eventually hit a healthy weight, when your
    waist is finally a healthy measurement, every 5 lb increase in
    how much you can lift, every 5 min increase in how long you can walk, etc.

    I need to lose around 100 lbs, personally. It's been a struggle, but I'm determined to achieve my goal this time. We can do this together! :)

    You can add me. I dont even know how much I need to lose but it is at least 100+ and I will still be overweight, but I will not know for sure until I even get close to that number.

    You can add me. I've been dieting since I was 16 and am now 61. I had weight loss surgery in Dec. 2013 and have lost 59 lbs. I kind of lost my way for a while after surgery, but am back on track now.

    Hello I'm in the same situation as you. I currently weight 340 and really would like to get down to 250 by 05/21. I have started this journey in the past and stopped, but with all these health risks I am more determined than ever to make a change. So if you would like to be friends add me. I would love the support and would love to be a support to someone! !

    Feel free to add me ^^^^ I'm not new to mfp but I've stopped and started this journey so many times, in the end I took some time out to really think why im doing this and what I can do to help future failure.
