The "NEVER been thin/ in-shape" Club

Thanks Anne!

Hey everyone! I've been totally MIA from this group since the first page of the post! Yikes! But you all haven't missed much, I hit a terrible plateau for 3 months and got stuck right around 150. Now I'm finally starting to lose weight again. I had my last weigh in on Friday. and here's my results!

Starting Challenge weight: 151.3 lbs
Current Weight: 148.1 lbs

I'm aiming to get to 140 (and hopefully a little below) but my body is starting to get happy around 150 give or take a few pounds and I want to lose more! I have a muffin top to eradicate... haha

Sorry I haven't been around much! When I first joined this thread I was 227. I'm currently 208.8. Whooo hooo!! my ultimate goal is 170 ( I think) My starting weight on mfp was 255. My highest ever weight was 261

Thanks for the updates! :bigsmile:

Great work everyone! Keep it going! Find something that inspired you when you began this journey, and see if it still inspires you today. If it does, USE IT! If it doesn't, and you're losing hope, I recommend the Chapter "motivation" in Bob Greene's book "Keep the Connection". It really inspired me.

Been a awhile but a few weeks ago was down to 306 but then got sick and went back up to 310

Feel better!

ColorfulSouls... I've been gaining muscle too. I've hardly lost weight in the last little while, but my jacket suddenly FITS today!! So keep working it!

I love this post!

I started my weight "gone" journey (it's not loss, I'm not gonna find it again, it's weight gone ) Jan 10, 2011. My weight was 260. I am now at 236.4. My goal weight is...?? My biggest goal for myself is to be 199, under 200 Evenutally I would like to get to the 160-170 mark.

I'm Megan, by the way. Feel free to add me

I'm sorry there hasn't been a chart yet this week... My computer is in repairs and the chart is on that computer. I'm pretty sure the guy is saving all the files on it, so when I get it back tomorrow or Tuesday, I will post the new chart. Thanks for understanding. Happy Easter!

90poundsoflard... Great loss!

superstah00... Welcome to the group!! We're working toward losing 5% of our weight. Post whenever you weigh in, and I will adjust the chart. Charts will (usually) be posted on Saturdays, so anytime before then will be fine.

ColorfulSouls... Great to hear you're back with it! I love that feeling of knowing that you're making progress again.

Hey yall! I am so bad at forgetting to check in w/ my current weight. But progress it is...down from 248 to 236! YaY!

ANNOUNCEMENT:

I'm sorry to announce that I will no longer be able to keep up the charts due to personal goals. If anyone would like to add me as a friend here, I would be happy to accept your request, and check in with your progress along the way.

I'm working toward taking off my last 40 lbs, and started a tiny group here if anyone would like to post there for motivation and support. There is no progress keeper. We're just keeping each other motivated: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/220582-20-lbs-in-a-year-gonna-pick-it-up-now-to-the-finish-anyo

Keep working toward your individual goals, and remember that you are worth it! You WILL get there! :drinker:

Jun 24,2011 weighed in @ 296.0 under 300!

I belong here too! I can't remember being under 200lbs in my upper teens / twenties. I really don't remember ever wearing a size with a single digit. I am so ready to get there!

Currently 126.

I really need extra motivation to finally reach 120. I want to reach this weight by Aug 13!!

Just 6 pounds! I'm almost there :"""D



I just hope I don't bounce back to 130 as I always do...

Hello! I was a big baby (over 10lbs at birth), and continued to be larger than average through childhood and into adulthood. I don't know what my 'slim' weight is likely to be, but I do know I'm unlikely ever to fit the BMI-type definitions. I'm built like a tank, and acquire muscle easily.

SW:245 lbs
CW:203 lbs
GW: 176 lbs (80kg), I think. I'll reassess when I get there, but my guess is that 170-180 is likely to be a reasonable range for me.
