    Im in the same boat. Im at 215 right now, would love to get down to 120. Iv had alot of success losing in the past. At my heaviest in 2012 (pregnant with number 2) I was 280. I screwed up tonight at dinner and I feel awful about it. I need mfp friends, i want 2016 to finally be the year that I shed this fat suit.

    Everyday is a new day to start over. If you mess up one day you can't talk yourself into that being a failure. You start all over the next day. Together we can do this.

    At 200 looking for 150 at this moment. When I hit that goal then I will work on 20 more. In 2 weeks have lost 10lbs. You can add me if you would like! :)

    I started on this journey a few years ago, at my heaviest of 259.1 pounds. I then lost about 90 pounds and got down to 169, then over the last few years snuck back up to the 220's again. I had lost motivation and was in a car accident and was injured, and many other excuses. I have recommitted this month and I am on track to get back down to Onederland again! Would love to have others that are totally motivated and in the zone to help along with this journey!

    Very similar starting weight. I'm 216lbs and in my first week of finally trying to do something about my weight... no budge yet on the scales but I'm definitely feeling the benefits of the exercise! My goal at the moment is to get to 170 lbs (keeping in mind I'm quite tall - 5'10"). Will add you.

    I started at around 210 and now I'm 130! You ladies can do it :)

    Regarding binge eating: I have the same problem and it's getting better. My belief is that when you get the urge to binge, you should realize that they're just urges and you chose to give in to them or not. Urges are in your mind, but it's your feet that carry you to the pantry. Saying no to the urges eventually quiets them! Since I've taken control of my binges, I feel so empowered. There's a great book called Brain Over Binge that was recommended to me and I really think it could help you :)

    I too am trying to lose over 75lbs. Highest weight was 283 and now I am at 205! I havent been that weight since elementary school. I know how it is to be a binger and it is so hard to break that vicious cycle but I am here to tell you like someone said above, if you want it bad enough, no amount of cravings will stop your hunger to succeed.

    My SW was 224. Today the scale said 191, and I have about 65 lbs more to go. I've found that it's easier to focus on the five lb increments rather than getting overwhelmed by the large amount I still need to lose. My next goal weight, for example, is 189 and then after that 185. So much easier to focus and appreciate these little milestones.

    Same boat here. Was my heaviest at 229. I am at 219 now. Goal of around 140-150. I have no problem losing, have a hard time not gaining it back.


    LUCKY!!!! I'm the opposite!!! I have a hard time losing it, but I didn't put it on overnight either. It was a slow and steady climb up.

    Hi,
    I went from over 400 pounds (scale only went that high) to 199. Then binged my way back to 260. Please add me, we can beat the binge together. I only have my phone app, so it's hard to add people, I would love some new friends going into 2016.

    There's a lot of talking about binge eating, so I thought I would share a bit. I was a binge eater. People would laugh when I'd mention food addiction, but I tried not to let it bother me. The way I broke through the binging was by coming to terms with the fact that I wasn't doing anything enjoyable with my life. Everything was obligation or responsibility. I didn't even do fun things with my kids because I was too big to be able to move freely. I would sit and watch them have fun. Food was my only fun, so I made a list of what things I wanted to do for me and started doing them. The binge eating didn't stop immediately, but it did taper. Now, I know that when I want to eat everything in sight until it's gone that I really need to do something for me. I'm sure it's a different underlying issue for everyone, but maybe this will help at least one person. <3

    Hi everyone! Please feel free to add me! I am a 24 year old female. I started at 212lbs and my goal weight is 150. Though I've used mfp before I never tried the social aspect of it because I was embarrassed and ashamed. I thought I should struggle alone which I now see only makes it easier to relapse on eating junk n not exercising. I'm ready to add friends in order to keep myself on track and accountable! Let's support each other!!! :)

    I'm in the same boat as you all! Started out at 215, currently weight 199, but trying to get down to around 130. I made it down to 175 a few years ago, but gained a lot back. I'm now trying to get back into the swing of things to finally reach my goal weight

    Me! Add me! I'm currently at 211, heaviest was 219 about 3 weeks ago. Trying to lose 50lbs, but my goal progress is 2lbs a week so it's rough. I'm getting married April 1 and need to lose 15lbs between now and then...doable but rough. Looking for exercise advice--right now I have a weekly dance class for 2 hours, PIYO twice a week, walking on treadmill for 1 hour twice a week as my regime.
