    I use to weigh over 333lbs

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

    One of my favorite quotes from a Led Zeppelin song

    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!

    I just joined yesterday and I'm reading this. I'll be 40 in March and I'm going to do it this time! I'm definetly looking for all the support and help I can get. I had to order a new scale because mine only went up to 250 and I'm now waaayyyy over that. I could just cry about it, but I have to start somewhere I guess.

    Yep. BMI is 44.3. 5'0 and 227lbs. Lost 40 lbs a few years back and for whatever reason didn't stick with it and gained most of it back. Have started walking some, am going to get the equipment for strength training this weekend. Here's to a healthier 2018, best of luck to you all - feel free to add me as a friend!
