Let’s support each other!
I’d like to start a community of people who have started on this weight loss journey weighing in over 300 lbs!
Who’s with me?

    Welcome to the MFP Community. :)

    Here's a great group of members who might be able to relate. They all started with at least 75 pounds to lose:

    I was over 300 6 years ago. got down to 180. slowly gained back 50 over the past 2 years (most of it during 2020). actively working on losing what I've gained (and a bit more, as I did have more to go!)

    I’m sorry I haven’t responded, I posted and forgot that I did...
    I’m still on track!
    I started at 330lbs December 29th... that’s the day I saw my cardiologist and made a promise to him and myself to do this!
    I had to purge my house of ALL the foods that brought me here, and purchase foods, make a game plan and prepare for my new life!
    Luckily I don’t eat out due to Covid, so I can only eat what’s in my house!
    I’m doing low carb and logging in Myfitnesspal for that and calories under 1,300.
    I actually Started January 4th.
    As of February 1st, I’ve lost 15.6 pounds!
    I’m hoping I can lose 2.5 pounds a week or more... my 1st goal is under 300 by around mid March, and around 250 by August the 1st!
    So how about you? tell me about yourself.
