    I'm 31 and started losing weight in May this year and started at 318lbs, currently down to 240, it takes hard work and dedication but it is possible !

    Best of luck. I started at 305 and am down to 235 now. Keep at it - you can do it! Watching the show Heavy on A&E (or Netflix...) helped a lot. They go from some 550+ pounds down to healthy BMIs sometimes...

    just some ideas to help you stay on track:

    1. you're 25. you're young. you have a lot of time to live a healthy, active life.

    2. write down the physical and mental stumbling blocks you've had to leading a healthy lifestyle in the past. think about ways to overcome those stumbling blocks. write down all of the things you hate about being overweight, and be brutally honest about it. write down all of the things that you love about being overweight (if there are any). keep the writings handy so that you can read them when your will power starts to wane.

    heaviest weight: 356 (also my MFP starting weight)
    current weight: 317
    goal weight: 150

    it is a challenge, but it is worth it for EVERY pound you see come off the scale! some days it might not seem like a lot, but always remember, you didn't gain the weight over night, and you aren't going to lose it over night either!

    I'm not 300+, but I'm all for long term support groups :) Right now I am highly motivated myself, but I've only been on here for like a week.. At some point I know I'll def need support to keep my spirits up!

    Just calculated that I'm about 245lb (I'm European, so I weigh myself in kgs)

    I'm in if you want me ;)

    I just started on here about a week ago. My SW was 314 and I've been staying under my numbers much better than I thought I would so far. After one week, my CW is 304. Thats a good first week, but I know its going to get tougher as time goes on. My GW is 180.

    My starting weight is 274 (currently)
    Goal weight 165

    Not 300+, but close enough for me to be very uncomfortable. I just started actually using the support part of MFP. I joined back in January but didn't utilize this great tool. I brought my sis along for the ride this time. I'm highly motivated, sooooooo ready to be a fab 35 in February!!!

    You are welcome to add me. : )
