Anyone else in the 260s-280s? I'd love to be friends :)

I started this round of weight loss at 285lbs at the New Year and I'm currently at 268lbs. I'm 5'5", female, and live in Oklahoma. My current goal is 200lbs, I wouldn't mind making it to 160, and I would love making it to 140!

I would love to have friends that are similar in size to me or have similar goals as me!

    I started at 305, but I'm aaaaaalmost into the 280s now (291 currently). Also, I'm a fellow Okie! I'm 5'11", so my goal weight is a little higher, but the amount of weight I need to lose is about the same as yours. Let's be friends!

    I started at 350 but I'm less than a pound from the 280s now if that's OK! :)

    this round of my fun story, I started at 267, currently at 252. I've been as low as 205. I'm hoping to get out of the 200's by the end of the year and my goal weight is 140.
  • I'm exactly 280 right now.

    Started at 275 not sure what I weight now. I am from Texas
  • When I started in October I was up to my highest weight of 286. I’m now down to 244. I have small 10lb goals so my next goal is 239. My first big goal is Onederland.

    I started out at 282 back in April 2017. After a health scare I got serious about weight loss. I am down to 220. I have a long way to get to my goal weight, but losing 60 pounds feels great. Feel free to add me
  • Started at 343 in September 2017. Currently 276. You can add me if you want.

    Hey friends,
    Starting weight - 345
    current weight - 289
    Goal weight - 200

    I'm 6'2" so I'm shooting for 200lbs
    I would love all the friends I could get while I rock this journey. I have a wonderful MFP friend circle but there's always room for more.

    feel free to add me, anyone.

    Same here, quick question: to lose weight, do you eat all the assigned calories and exercise calories or what? Been at it for a while and scale isn’t budging
  • @gingilebanon2012 are you weighing your food? I eat right at my calories and only eat back a portion of my exercise. I’ve been steady losing since October with no stalls. I find that using a good scale is very eye opening to what an actually portion is.

    I was at 150 and went up to 274 in a little over a year due to pcos. Essentially my body thought I was pregnant. Down to 250 after hysterectomy. I would like to get down to 145 or 140. I’m five six and stocky

    I was 272 about 6 months ago. I got the gastric sleeve which helps and everything, but just not as much as I had hoped. I am at 206 lbs as we speak, but I still have at least 65 lbs to go cause I am pretty short! Feel free to add me xoxox

    My weight is pretty close to OP's. Started 285 at the beginning of Jan. Down to just under 270... but I'm a 6'1" guy. My short term goal is to hit 265 by the end of March. Long term goal is 220 before Thanksgiving.
