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.0

I started at 349, and 20 months later I am at 157. You can do this!!0

I'm in a similar boat. Started at 350 2 weeks ago. Feel free to add me. We can do this!0

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.0

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.0

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!0 -
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.0

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.0 -
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!0
-
Good Luck on your journey and remember...little changes to a big difference....I've lost about 50 but it comes and go....this time I'm trying to push through to lose more.... Side Note....I could use new friends too

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.0

I'm just starting my journey with MFP. I'm 59, 5'7" and starting at 302 with a goal of 150 or whatever I feel best at. I can always use a friend and support so feel free to add me too!
Good luck everyone!0 -

I'm 5'7" and started at 280 in Jan 2015. By this Jan I'm down a little over 50 lbs. I've used MFP since September and lost 30 lbs with the aid of its daily food diary feature. My first goal is to hit 200 lbs, my next goal is 175 lbs and then I'll see how I look/feel at that stage. I probably need to be around 130 which would be 150 lb weight loss... I don't think I've been that weight since I was 10! I've learned a few lessons along the way but have many more to learn... right now I'm super motivated. Maybe we can help each other. Please, anyone feel free to add or message me. We can do this! And congrats to everyone who's lost weight, no matter what amount... if it was easy we would be dieting in the first place

Good job, keep it up.0 -
If you would like we seem to have a common goals add me to your friends list I'm not sure how to add people but I would love to be one of your supporters and I could use the extra support as well0

I started at 300 pounds at the beginning of September 2014. So far, I've successfully eliminated about 138-139 pounds so I'm down to roughly 161-162 pounds now....about 16.5 months later. I will send you a friend request.0

I've lost about that much.
I guess my suggestion is to just keep at it, just about everyday.
Don't sweet the small stuff, you will make mistakes, you will gain weigh some weeks.
If you have any thoughts about this being short term, forget about it, 150lb will take a while, but anything worth anything takes time and effort.
Find things you enjoy, find a sport or activity you enjoy, I couldn't imagine spending a year or two forcing myself to exercise by doing something I hated.0 -
I have lost and gained a whole person. I need to lose 80 lbs. now. I am embarking on a lifestyle change to reach and maintain that goal. Having friends that support and motivate you is critical to success. This forum is a great source for support. We can all do this with each other's help. All, Please feel free to add me. I will check in tomorrow. Good night, God bless. Tomorrow is a new day.0

Hey feel free to add me- I started my weight loss journey in April 2015 (officially) at 300 lbs hoping to get down to 150 lbs (loss of 150 lbs also). It has been a slow process but as of today I weigh 246.5 lbs. Still have 100 lbs to go. Good Luck0
