    I'm about 235 & 5 ft tall. Not a good combo. I've started this process too many times to mention. I've done an awful lot of thinking of losing weight this past week. How about you?

    SW is 310.6. I'm 5'8'', 40 years old and going all in. I started 3 days ago. Like you I have been down this road many times. I'm going to lose and keep it off this time.

    Started as morbidly obese in March. Now I'm just overweight if you go by BMI, but that really isn't the best measure. I'm pretty damn thin. SW-375. CW-251. My goal is 235. Also I'm 6'7". If you're sitting at morbidly obese, just know this place works if you keep at it and rely on those who have good advice.

    You can do it, I was 310 lbs about 18-24 months ago. With commitment and dedication I am now 200 lbs. Keep at it.

    Cheers

    I just started walking and hiking in the beginning. Then joined a gym and did just cardio but also kept walking and hiking. Then I Bought a home gym and exercise bike. I spent the better part of a year working out at home, then I got work out of town so now I am back in a gym both at home and away at work.

    you are not alone. Persistence and time is all it takes. I believe in you. You can do it. Put in the hours, but in the work, and you can get to a healthy BMI.

    Praying for you all, don't ever give up, take it one moment at a time and build momentum with each pound!

    Yes there are 2 paths you can go down, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road your on

    I started at 215lbs at 5' tall. It's taken 3 years of ups and downs. But, I'm finally at a good BMI.

    You can do this. Don't give up. It'll take patience and time.... Just keep going.

    I can relate, I am 5' 3 212 I am 2 points from morbidly obese. About 4 years ago I lost 100 lbs I have gained half of that weight back. I am back on track trying to make some changes, I think a good portion of my weight gain has been from drinking and anxiety. I am a nervous eater. I have been focused for the last month enough to go to the gym. This month I am going to add changing my food habits and changing the way I deal with anxiety I wont fix it with food or alcohol. I find having people that are in the same situation helps. You got this, one minute at a time, one day at a time, small changes then add to it. It took a while for us to get here its gonna take a while to get us back to a healthy BMI. Some days will be harder than others but get right back up and continue on and don't beat your self up... Feel free to add me if you would like :)

    Myself as well. I'm under the obese category at 250 and 5'9". I started this lifestyle (again) back in September. Dropped 40 by Christmas and after Christmas and New Years festivities, I had a small set back. Got back on it today. We can do this! Everyone send me a friend request if you like!
