    Hi! I started at 224 lbs and I'm 5'3" as well! Makes it a little difficult to carry the extra weight when you're shorter. Would love to have you as a friend! Add me :)

    I'm a little taller at 5'5" and I currently weigh 219 down from 255. My ultimate goal is vague right now, I'll know the right weight when I get there.

    I'm close! I'm about 5'3 1/2 ( can't forget the half! lol) and I started at 250 pounds. I'm down to 227 now though! I could always use (and give) some support on this difficult journey! :)

    5' 4" and 237 here!! Down from 255.

    Is there anyone else who had medical complications that helped their weight gain?? or even hinders their progress??

    Snacks are my huge issue right now, last week it was filling breakfast but I seem to have dealt with that and kept it at 200 calories!!

    I have Intracranial Hypertension so my body produces too much fluid and puts pressure on my brain! We found out when I almost lost vision in one eye! The chronic headaches, pressure and muscle pain made it really hard to work out and made me super depressed!

    The Meds make me fatigued and when I work out hard I get a nasty migraine that lasts for a few days (the last one was 12 days!!) I am working really hard to do it with diet, walking and aquafit which is really low impact but gives me good cardio and rarely affects my head!
