I'm 39 years old woman and I weigh 306 pounds. I would love to find a Charlotte NC member to buddy up with but anyone who has a lot of weight to lose anywhere would be ok as well.

    Hi Chynah2white; I live in Melbourne, Australia. I weigh 260 pounds, and still increasing. I know how daunted I feel about trying to lose the weight, and would be happy to a support for you from over the other side of the world. Tanya.

    Hello Chyna, I am located in the UK but am at the royal weight of about 320+ pounds (not weighed myself yet)
    I am hoping to reduce this to an eventual weight of about 220-240 pounds. (
    I know that still seems a lot but I am a large framed 6'4" bloke)

    My starting was 338 - I'm currently at 304.6 as of this morning, since January. January through September was all lifestyle changes, like being super conscientious of when I'm full, when I'm hungry vs. when I want to eat, and pushing myself to be a little more active in the day-to-day, but no real working out (maybe swimming a couple of times a month). In September, I started very hard on a high protein, low carb/low fat diet. Since then, I have lost 15lbs of that. ...And I have a LOT more to go before my wedding. I'm in Florida presently, but would be happy to be an online buddy! :) (for anybody here!)

    Hi...at my heaviest I was 323. I started MFP at 298, and I'm down to 266, headed for 185.

    There is great group (under Community > Groups) called "Losing 100+ pounds naturally (no surgery)" that I belong to...a really great bunch of losers that are fun, witty and totally dedicated, and very supportive. Please check it out and join us if you want.

    Also feel free to tap on me if I can help in any way. I am totally committed to being in as good shape at 60 as I was at 30, and helping you helps me, too. I sent a FR...

    Welcome! and best of luck!!
