    This hasn’t been posted in on a while but I’m looking for support from people who are similar in size as me. I’ve been on MFP a while, the first time was in 2012 and I lost over 70 pounds. My starting weight then was 375.

    I ended up gaining it all back and more. I finally was able to get myself back on track this year (I had many failed start and stop after a few weeks in between then and now)

    So I started out at 400lbs and 5’ 3 at the beginning of April. I’m now at 358. Being consistent is what I find the hardest. Last time when I would fall off track I would get so down on myself and then continue to eat a lot because I was upset and think well I already messed up I might as well keep eating 🤷🏼‍♀️ this time I’m trying really hard at NOT letting a bad day or 2 completely throw me off. If you’re looking for support like me please add me as a friend 😊

    @kayish I would recommending joining the 350+ pounds Support for Men & Women group on here. It is fairly active with a lot of us in the same boat as you. It is a great place for support, challenges, and ideas on how to stick with it. It has helped me so far. I started at 357lbs (5'5) in September 2017 and I am currently at 249lbs. It takes time and a lot of hard work and planning but it is completely possible.

    Can someone add me. I’m a sexual assault victim at four years old. My hormones got out of whack do to the trauma. I’m trying to regain my life. I’m 326. Let’s see where we are August 31.

    Would love some friends with open diaries so I could see some great ideas for meals

    My name is William, my top weight was 170 kg / 375 pounds. Started to eat healthier together with MFP in March 2018. After 4 months I have lost about 20 kg / 40 pounds. I record all food and beverages on MFP and continue to learn about healthy meals, portion control, exercise. I try to record food eaten as soon as possible - so far I have not been able to prepare a meal plan, record it on MFP and only then prepare the food and eat it. There is always some ingredient or other I add or leave out. Any suggestions? Thank you.

    My name is Steve, been here since 2013, lost 98lbs then and put it all back on. Since May this year I have dropped 34lbs. This is my second and final attempt. This time it's for good. I ain't getting any younger, been going it alone mostly. Feel free to add me for support and motivation. Today I am down to 355 lbs.

    I joined a few years ago and lost weight. Not sure why I ever stopped. I'm at my highest 343, it's time for me to buckle down and get some weight off. Looking for friends, support, challenges, staying focused. Add me 😀

    Wow - all kinds of new faces! If you go to groups and enter 350, you should find us. You don't need to be invited or approved or anything- just click join and you're in!

    I'll send friend requests to folks I know aren't on my list but if I miss you it's accidental so send one to me!

    Started in March 2018 on 170 kg / 375 pounds and joined MFP. Overcoming depression - our dear son George Paul died shortly after birth. Bread, bread, bread (and what I put onto it) is my biggest downfall and trigger point. I can easily eat a kg and more a day. Now I am watching my carbs in general, mainly getting carbs from leafy vegetables, some other vegetables and a fruit a day. Tried "fatbombs" etc. but not to my liking. Over the last 4 months I am averaging 30 % carbs, 35 % fat and 35 % protein per day. So far I have lost 20 kg, about 45 pounds. I have noticed lots of small improvements (can buckle up in the car again etc). Go for walks every couple of days - gym will take some more time, most machines too small for me but I do enjoy aqua aerobics. All that weight gone, floating like a wale....The best feeling ever!
