    Hello All,

    I started my journey in 2012, shortly after my grandfather had a heart attack...at that time it was a family effort which made the whole journey much easier. My starting weight was 273.0lbs over about a 2 and 1/2 year span I lost 109.7lbs and was down to 163.3lbs. Shortly after, a lot of changes took place in my life. August 25th 2015 my pup, my best friend passed away and that broke my heart. I tried getting myself together and then on March 11th 2016 I witnessed my boss, my one on one, my work partner and best friend killed in a motorcycle accident. Way too much devastation for me to mentally handle. Throughout these ordeals I thought I was still taking care of myself which clearly I haven't. My weight had peaked at 235lbs, I've seem to have slowly been getting it under control, but need constant reminders that I need to do this for myself because I deserve to be happy and healthy.

    Height: 5'5"
    New SW: 235.0
    CW: 226.8
    GW: 150.0

    Wow, that's a lot to go through! But hopefully you'll encounter some friends on here to help you stay motivated.

    Unsure of goal weight. I was 150s about 4 years ago and was fairly happy with myself but I sieve hours exercising every day. I have disc problems and can only walk and use the elliptical so I'm not expecting fast weight loss. Nutrition is supposed to be 80% our weight, right? My first goal is 170. For my height of 5'3" 130-140 is ideal.

    I'm just starting out with this app. 5ft 6 inch female. Highest weight ever was around 245 lbs 5 years ago. I build a SERIOUS amount of muscle when I exercise, so I know I won't get down to the "chart" weight zone.

    Hiya all, starting my journey for the second time. A few years back I lost close to 100lbs using mfp and jillian Michaels dvds, then depression, new job, new relationship etc got in the way and I gained ever pound, plus another ten.

    Currently sitting on 338lbs at 5'11, goal is to get back down to my smallest weight last time of around 220-235lbs and maintain there as I have a very large frame and much smaller just doesn't suit me.
    I'm gonna need all the help I can get, so feel free to add me guys

    Height 5'7

    Starting Weight: 265
    Current Weight: 243
    Goal Weight: 160

    My goal weight is still over weight on the BMI scale, so maybe when I get there I may try to go lower BUT 160 is the weight listed on my drivers license. The whole thing is I didn't even weigh 160 at the time I got it! I remember thinking I would lose ten pounds and get there... however that didn't happen. Now my ultimate goal is to match my license number!

    Hello everyone!

    5'7
    SW 295 GW 199 (for now)
    So I just join a few weeks ago really just focusing on eating better and exercising. I don't want to be skinny I want to be fit and I have a long way to go but that's ok I didn't get to 295 overnight ☺ I've set mini goals for myself like getting to 270, doing an actual push up lol those things are hard but mainly focusing on what I put in my body...anyways feel free to add me always here for motivation and support.
