Hey everyone, I'm new here and really would like to be part of some sort of support group on the forums, I don't even know where to begin or anything. I'm currently 295 lbs and would like to lose 160-170 total. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Ari!

    You and I are at the same current weight. I belong to "the over 300 club" under the motivation and support board. I'd highly recommend joining us....even though you're under already, they're a great bunch and very supportive..its been very helpful to me.

    Hope this helps and good luck on your journey!

    Hi Ari, I am part of an "over 200 club" and "Halfers club" Halfers is for those of us who need to lose half our weight to get to our goal. I will add the links to these groups they are both open groups. By the way welcome and I am glad you are here:flowerforyou:

    Both are very good groups. We are in simular situations with the amount of weight we want to lose and I am also a sahm with 4 children
