I just feel like I'm the only one who is starting from such a high number. Is anyone else in the 200's? I'd love to be able to talk, share, and support each other through our weight loss! Just so you know, I'm 5'9" and 236 lbs. (:

Gabby, there is a whole gamut of people who are trying to lose weight of all different numbers. I don't know how much weight you want to lose but there is the forum for persons that want to lose over 100 lbs that I'm a part of and I believe all increments. I started at 268 and I'm 5'10". Check it out. The people on this website are super nice and it's very helpful to get the encouragement and understanding of likewise persons.0

My highest was 218 in November of 2010. Joined MFP at 210 in December 2010. Many have started much higher than you and lost! Just focus on you and don't compare yourself.0

I'm not really adding people, but I started at 294 pounds (I'm 5'10") so I know how daunting this can be, but you CAN do it!
Check out my blog about what worked for me if you would like a little insight:
