Girls over 200 pounds...

I started at 207, and I'm only 5 '1 3/4 have to add the 3/4. I'm now at 200.2 just started with MFP a few days ago. Honestly, I decided to go on a no suffering lifestyle change. I stopped drinking anything with Sugar and cut way back on sweets. I try to walk every day even if its just for 15 min and I go to the gym to walk on treadmill. I started in Oct. Now I need to come up with another strategy to lose more without suffering. I'm just the type that if I deny myself something, I will eat everything in sight. So it's one day at a time and no hurry to lose it. It will come off little by little. Ive gotten better at not getting down on my self when i mess up. I love this site. So many others just like me :flowerforyou: 200.2 and 50 pounds to loose

I just started at 262 tho my highest was 275. I'll send request.

I'm pretty much nearly in all these ladie's boats too, haha. 270 and 5'4....just started my fitnesspal today. I've tried other methods, but they never worked. Looking into finally loosing some weight. Goal is 150....but I'd eventually like to be around 130. Also going to get my thyroid checked soon..I'm nervous. Hate blood tests!! Dx

hi all - i joined a week ago at 295 and am already down to 287.5! i know this will slow down rapidly, but i'm glad for the early success.

i've had great losses in the past with weight watchers, but i have always stopped going and gained it all back. plus some.

hoping that a little older (33) and wiser this go round will contribute to a lifelong success!! i'm tired of being the fat girl in the room, not being able to wear cute clothes, and being nervous about fitting in a booth in a restaurant. i'm excited to live a more healthy life and be able to do anything i want!

thanks for 'listening' :-)

My highest weight was 284lbs (pregnant), lowest weight 157lb (only last very short time), been strandling the 200 mark for awhile now, currently at 205lbs, would love to be at 185 again, thats where I felt my best.

I am 5'2 and 347.1 lbs. I am gonna be 240 this time next year ladies. Just wait and see. Boy am i gonna miss my boobs though lol

So funny. I totally understand. That's the first place I lose weight and it ticks me off. "Noooo! I actually like those. Please take it off my stomach instead!"

I'm 29, 5"7I was at 295 after my pregnancy (TWO years ago!!) I'm at 285 now and need motivation I'd LOVE to shed 50lbs before I hit dirty 30 in June.

I'm at 268 now, started around 350! Add me if you like, I'm Natalie!

My story is similar. I hit 300 lbs in November and absolutely hated myself. I figured if I was every going to do anything about my weight... now was the time! I'm taking it 12 weeks and 25 lbs at a time.

Good luck everyone!!!

Hi Melanie,
I'm Sara from Florida and I too know and am where you are and hoping to get to something much healthier. I weighed in last a 300# and this is the heaviest I have EVER been in my life. My goal is to be a healthy well toned 180. I have been the "BIG" girl all my life but now its out of control. I guess I am what you call a stress eater and addicted to chocolate, latest thing was King sized Cookies-N-cream :-( :-( I had started one day at the store I bought one then it's like I was eating them everyday. I just couldn't stop I was hooked. This was just the week before Thanksgiving and through Christmas.
I had started my journey last year when I began to hurt all over my legs, back, getting short of breath and then I got chest pains... I visited the doctor several times last year got diagnosed with several diseases but I figured out what it was... My weight had began to affect my life, I am a proud mommy of a two year old and let me tell you that was a reality that I might not get to see her grow up if I don't change.
I began with a version of the Atkins diet eating nothing but meat for 2 weeks I did that for about 2 moths went from 310 to 270. But I couldn't just eat meat all the time And I started having alot of stomach pains. So I stopped and gained back to 295. So then I started on a different kind of diet. Called the 'I' diet and I really lost.. like 35 pounds and kept it off for some time until the attack of the cookies-N-cream. So here I am now and today I am back up to 300 and feeling bad.
I like my shape and think I am okay looking but this weight really messes with me. I hope I haven't wrote too much but I am hoping that with some support and motivation from the MFP community I will be successful on this New life of high fiber low carb. If you are looking for a great diet strategy I recommend the "I" diet you can get the book online really cheap mine was like 4 dollars on ebay the name of it is, "The "I" Diet: Use Your Instincts to Lose Weight--and Keep It Off--Without Feeling Hungry
Susan B. Roberts (Author), Betty Kelly Sargent (Author)" It really opens you thinking and gives motivation and understanding to why we eat how we do and great meals and recipes and a quit strict diet but seeings how we over 200 girls we get a few more calories than the skinny girls LOL but I really like it. I plan to re-read it soon for some motivation and possibly restarting the diet. I used MFP on my phone to track my calories and progress from the first time but this is the first time I actually used the support side.
I will be glad to talk anytime give motivation or support
Thank you

I'm 29 years old and weighed in the new year at 300. I have a wonderful husband and 7 yr old son and am ready to start living my life. I have decided to not think of it as a diet but a life change. It has been such a blessing to read others stories on here and know that i'm not alone.....feel free to add me - the support is always welcomed:happy:

Hi, Can I join in ?

I'm 36, based in Edinburgh and a mum of one. I'm also 247 lbs. I tipped the scale this time 2 years ago at 278. I have been 30lbs lighter but have put it all back on recently.
So I'm back again on MFP logging cals and trying to find time for exercise.

Exercise is my biggest issue, I can eat well no problem (when I'm focussed) but finding time to do a bit of exercise and go to the gym etc is a real problem for me.
Like some others have mentioned I'm a stress eater. Chocolate is my main downfall but I'd be lying if I said that was my only problem !!

I'm really looking for a group that I can share my successes and failures with and hopefully help motivate each other.

Heys Girls,

I joined yesterdaty starting at 218 lbs ... i don't even know how I got from 175 - 180 lbs to this now .. honestly don't remember looking at the scales with those numbers of course i felt my clothes tightening and had to go up to the next size but when the next size started to get tight I knew I had to do something ...
I gave up smoking 24th January 2011 (so nearly a year no smoking) yay me!! So this has had a impact on my weight gain.

So this year I really want to tackle my weight I want to feel comfortable with my skin and people around me

Any one can add me wether you relate or want to help motivate each other or if you just need someone to chat to ...
