I am 312 pounds and 5'2" tall I need to lose over 150 pounds I am new to MyFitnessPal and I really would love the extra support I would love to meet people with similar weight-loss goals that know what it's like to be in my shoes I am hoping to help support others and for others to help support me as well because I am definitely not getting the support I need from my family and I really don't have much in the way of friends

    I started my journey at 330 pounds, am at 321 pounds now and need to lose 146 more pounds to get to my goal weight. I am working on one day at a time, one meal at a time and trying to log my food before I eat it so I can see if it's worth the calories. I know this is a life change not a diet just to lose weight and I am tying to learn how to make good choices. It's a daily struggle but if I keep going then hopefully this time next year I will be much closer to my goal.

    312 is close to the weight I would like to be. At any rate, I would like to lose about 100 lbs before I will even know what my goal is. I have lost 75-80 since last April.

    Anyone, feel free to add me! My starting weight was 330 pounds, and I am down to 322 right now. I have my goal weight set at 140 (the low end) but I am going to see what I feel/look best at in the 140-170 range and decide as I go. I am working on making small sustainable changes every week so I don't feel discouraged or deprived.

    Hi All,
    My highest weight was 373 - five years ago. Using MFP, I lost 140 lbs in less than a year. And then I met my husband, life happened, we've been trying to get pregnant for two years and the frustration of that has led me to back sliding to the same place I was five years ago. I started a Biggest Loser competition with some friends a week ago. It's a 16 week contest with cash prizes. I miss feeling the way I did when I lost all of the weight; I had more confidence and energy. At 250lbs and less, I wasn't as limited as I am now. I'm tired of feeling this way and ready to go back to the girl I was a few years ago.

    I'm happy to be anyone's friend and look forward to supporting anyone that would like to add me!

    Started a year ago at 366, now 273. Still a long way to go, but MFP has helped make it easy. Anyone is welcome to add me.

    I was 317 when I started...and I stepped on the scale today to see 284.8. Yay! I need to get down to 145 or so...that's another 140 lbs, lol.

    I'm 5'10'', so taller than you, but we've both got a big chunk of weight to loose and will likely be at it for a while.

    Feel free to friend me.

    You can do it! I'm down over 100 lbs using MFP. I still have some to go, but should be finished with the weight loss portion of my journey this year. My best advice - take it one meal, one day at a time. It is possible!

    Good luck everyone!!! 4yrs ago I had lost 100 lbs with the help of the Jenny Craig program. Meals were expensive. So I decided I could continue on my own with what I had learned. I did well for about a year and its gone down hill from there, needless to say I got on the scale last week and I gained the 100 back plus a more. I am ready to get back on trap and keep the weight off for good. Feel free to add me so we can help each other on our journey.
