    Goal weight: 300lb. In the past I've gotten down to 350 before, but I haven't been 300 pounds since I was in high school. I'd like to know what 300 pounds feel like! It doesn't sound like a low number to most ppl, but coming from 490, .....300 is a great number for me!!!

    Age: 47
    Highest weight: 400 lbs., give or take a few
    Last weigh in : 397.4 lbs.
    Goal weight: 150 lbs.
    Years of yo yo dieting: None. I've been heavy since childhood. I have valid reasons as I suspect we all do, most of which have nothing to do with a medical condition in my case. However, I've been away from the source of those reasons for quite a while and now it's just a matter of apathy, laziness and bad habits. I could do better and I want to do better.

    Name : Kenn
    Age 57
    Highest Weight : 308
    Current Weight : 288 (roughly..I weigh in on Monday evenings..then Tuesday Morning..for some reason..the Tuesday A.M. weigh-in is less??)
    Goal: 210
    I weighed in at 308 on Feb 29th. I decided I have had enough. I put myself on a low calorie diet with mainly Cardio (stationary bike) for exercise with a little light free weights tossed in

    Last weigh in--Monday March 28th 288.4 I know as this journey continues, I will have to adjust calories and exercise. I wish everyone good health on your journey and success!

    Don't quit, remain dedicated and motivated. You can do it! Thanks for having me!

    Hi Everyone, my name is Birgit and I've been posting for a while. Sooo helpful!
    Highest weight: 305lbs on 4/4/16
    Current weight: 266lbs as of today
    Goal(s): 246lbs (I do mini-goals in increments of 10%, and that's the next mini- goal). Ultimate goal: 195lbs. After that, who knows? Successful maintenance would be a worthwhile goal, I think.
    Am I willing to be accountable to all of you every day? Absolutely! Have been doing so, in fact.

    Anyone who reads this: pls friend me, if you haven't done so already. I log in each day on my phone, and I don't think I cam make friend requests from my mobile app. Thanks, and am happy to have your company on our journey.
