    I right here with you folks but I started out at 280 now 275 and I want to get down to 150 so I have a long way to go. And I have MS which makes it sometimes hard.

    I have been overweight my entire life. I was always the heaviest in school. I was 300lbs at 16. I was 425lbs at 25. I am currently 187lbs and maintaining for the last year. It took about 4 years to lose the weight. It came with lots of ups and downs. I would lose it, then gain it, then lose it.. etc. I have found a good place with my calories and my level of activity. Toss in my cheat day and I maintain pretty well. +/- 5lbs. I didn't do any weird diets or surgeries. Just healthy eating and being active.

    It's just accountability. If you are not accountable for yourself then you cannot achieve victory that lasts. I am sorry if this is controversial but losing weight is easy. I was 425lbs and I lost 20lbs my first week just because I stopped drinking pop! Keep that trend going, cut the bad foods from your diet and anyone can lose weight. Simple CICO.

    Since losing the weight. I get more attention from people. Not just sexually but in general people will be more open and willing to talk to me now that I am not obese. I feel more confident. I take better care of my appearance and hygiene. I am more active because I want to be, instead of because I have to be.

    I went from a shirt size XXXXXL to a S/M. I went from pant size 50x30 to a 32x34.

    I know it's cliche to say but if I can do it, anyone can. If anyone needs help or advice you can feel free to message me.

    Thanks for sharing your story! I am around 250 and I often think, "how did this happen without me noticing?!?!". I agree that all it takes is accountability and being responsible for your actions. However, I do think it's hard. I keep telling myself that being overweight is harder though.... the hard work is worth it!!! Losing 110lbs feels almost impossible right now, but hearing stories like yours helps me push through and believe in my ability to be consistent and accountable.
  • Me me,
    I have about 100 to loose as well. Need motivation and accountability partners

    I started at 308 lbs and am now at 280. It really is a huge chunk of weight to lose but I've split it up into smaller mini goals to make it feel less overwhelming.

    I keep getting asked what my short term goals are. I'm like, I have no idea. Eat less, move more, get smaller. Lol that's all I can focus on.

    Me! I was at 329, now at 307. When I started MFP I was at 260, so have a bit of a yo yo problem but this time I am really serious. I was diagnosed with diabetes and I'm not messing around anymore.

    Hey there! Have been huge since I was a kid and did multilple tries and failures so far. I started out at 360,4 and am down to 308,6 about a year after. My initial goal is to be under 220 around this time next year and if I somehow ever manage to do that, then I may possibly try to reach 140s (yeah not possible).

    Hi, I always seem to begin diets well and lose about a stone but then put it all back on - and more. I've never used these discussions as support so I'm hoping this will help have the long term goal due to the amount of weight I need to lose. It's good to see it can be done.

    I started at 360+ (I didn't have a scale that weighed higher than 300 and this was my highest known weight at the doctors, it was likely a bit higher) and was down to 205 before getting slack and then getting pregnant with my second baby :)

    I'm at 250 right now and am going to get down to 145 ish in the next few years. :)

    Life happens, so long as you keep trying, you will do great!

    Hey there. I started at 290 lbs, and I want to be at least at 160 lbs (my lowest weight I've ever been at), but I would like to be at 155 lbs. So far I've lost about 20 pounds. The hardest part of dieting for me is sticking to it after 2 weeks (it'd be about the time I'd reach my first plateau and get frustrated), but this time I stuck to it and I'm not looking back.
