    I started this journey on January 7th (this year) at 242lbs... At my last weigh in I was around 208 lbs. So YEAP I am in the 200s with you! Don't get discouraged!! The fact that you are starting this journey means you are on your way to your goal weight. And you are doing what MANY people aren't doing and that's finally taking the steps needed to a healthier life.

    When I weighed in the beginning of the year at 242 I wanted to cry, that is the most I have ever weighed... even during pregnancy!!! But I just sucked it up and pushed on through. Dropped the excuses, dropped the weight. You can do this! I believe in you! :smile:

    *Forgot to add I am 5' 9 1/2

    I'm just under 5'8" and was 244 in August 2011. I've been up and down over the years with a high of 257 at the end of 2008. I've found that with the help of MFP in general I can do this. I signed on in November 2011 at 236 lbs. This past Friday, I came in at 213 lbs. The encouragement and motivation of the great people on this site, make the quest easier. You know that you are not alone.

    Hi Gabby! I started on here in October and started at 230 lbs, and slowly through the holidays managed to lose 15 lbs so far. Feel free to add me for encouragement and motivation. I could always use a new friend too, the more the merrier! :)

    I started around 230, had lost a few pounds before starting because I was around 250 last summer. I joined at the end of September and am now around 170-173 currently. Feel free to add me :)

    I started at 237 pounds and am slowly losing it, little by little. But I will get down to my chosen weight eventually. It's not easy with a big family but I keep working at it. I just joined a gym so am hoping more intensive exercise will help.

    A few years ago I weighed 270 pounds. Last summer I weighed 228 pounds. I am currently at 210 pounds and really looking forward to weighing under 200 pounds. We can all do this!!!

    Me! Me!

    Wow, I sound excited about it.

    I'm 5'3" and started at 246. My end goal is 111 pounds from there, at 135.

    You're taller (most people are) and so I think the bottom of of your range is about there.

    I'm friend-able!

    I'm 5'6" and in Dec I got on the scale for the first time in years :( I weighed 223. Needless to say I cried in the middle of the drs office. I know I have topped 250 but luckily I didn't own a scale at that point. lol. A friend suggested I try this site so I joined a few days ago, I was 218 then. I am looking forward to dropping back down under 150 truthfully my goal is to see 105 again.

    Being that this is my first forum post I have no friends here and wouldn't mind having a few so add me if you like - I haven't figured out how to do it yet.

    Yup, I'm with you. It's been slow going but I'm keeping with it. Lost 6 pounds so far. A lot more to go. We can do it!
