Hi All
Sorry I am late to say hi! Easter has been a busy time and not so good for the waistline!!!
I am the heaviest I have ever been and feel overwhelmed by this fact. I really need to focus on losing weight and not give in to temptations.
I look forward to being part of this group. Wishing everyone all the best
Hi, Betty, and welcome to the team. Yes, it really isn't fair that we should start a weight loss competition right before a holiday long weekend that involves good food and chocolate!! I hope that being part of this group will motivate you to reach your goals!!1 -

My highest weight recorded was 400 lbs in 1993. Traveling around the USA and doing a lot of walking (no diet) dropped to 350 lbs and stayed there until about 2 years ago.(was not dieting or really trying to lose weight) just a lot more active than I am now.
Around 2016? It dropped again to 284 lbs where I've been fluctuating back and forth between 300 and 284 lbs.
I joined mfp about 21/2 weeks ago, when I finally decided I really want to lose this weight permanently. Within the first few days I dropped 11.2 lbs.
I do have some physical issues health problems my feet aren't very good I can walk a little in my home but have to use a power wheelchair outside my home I do exercise in my home the best I can a lot of low impact exercises and I can stand for a little while before I hurt so I try to do exercises to strengthen my arms and my legs.
Week 1-Aprils first weigh in. (Mondays)
HSW: 284.2 (weight joined mfp)
Previous weight: 273
Today's weight: 271
Wow, thank you for also sharing a bit more of your back story!! This is your first time actively trying to diet and lose weight and so far you seem to have figured it out!! Two pounds this week....a great loss and at a great rate that can be sustainable!! Your body will thank you in so many ways for continuing on this journey! I hope we can be a source of motivation for you!!1 -

I hope I didn't miss anybody....I'm typing, you're typing. It's crazy busy, but a good crazy busy!!! Loving this energy so far!!2

I apologize for missing the last weigh in for March, it was not a great month for me at all. Personal issues derailed me. I am so ready to get back to tracking everything and continuing to lose weight. Tonight my ball hockey starts back up, I'm super excited because I haven't played since December. I have 2 games this week so that means I will at least get in 2 days of exercise. Yay!
I love spring...bring on the warm weather!

I’m Holly, I’m 37, a stay at home mom to 4 kids, ages 6 months to almost 8 years old (oldest has a birthday this week). Just trying to get the rest of the baby weight off again.

Good and happy Tuesday everyone. Kids are back at school this morning hallelujah and I’m ready to get myself back on it. I’ve had my warm lemon water in first thing and having my breakfast. I will be headed out for a nice walk with the 2 year old with a short stop at the park. My plan for today’s workout is to do CIZE while my Sam has his nap. Lunch will be a salad OR grilled chicken with a side of broccoli, can’t decide. Have a wonderful day Big Butts!!

@Tracie_Lord, You didn't miss it...I had you entered at 235. You went up slightly last week, but I reminded you that you were still down 13 pounds in March, so not to sweat it!!! You are one of our rock stars!!0 -
