    I started at 250 on the nose! Down to 242 after 2 weeks. Apparently for my height I am supposed to be 164, but I am shooting for 175-180.

    I was 238 about a year ago. Started just eating better and lost a little. Started following Live Strong.com and using their calculator to monitor my diet and lost some more. I bought a FitBit a few months ago, started going to the gym, started using MFP, and just recently started running (C25K) and am down to about 199. My target weight is 158 !

    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, you are certainly not alone! Obviously! I have been as high as 240 and I am 5'8".

    I started this year at 303. I'm now down to 278.8 thanks to better food choices, proper portion sizes, exercise and of course the lovely support I get from my friends here.

    I started my journey at about 215-220, but that was months before I found MFP.

    I started at 220 1-28-12. I'm 5'4". I'm down 15lbs. Can't wait to hit the "below" 200 mark! You can do it! And so can I!!! Counting calories and exercising WORKS!! And after you start "staying away" from the loaded cheeses, loaded sugars, loaded fast foods, (loaded meaning loaded with calories) your taste buds change. It's been a great journey thus far over these past 4 weeks

    Anyone can feel free to add me. I started at 265 and now I'm down to 252. Not a great deal of weight loss, but it's a start....hoping for a lot more. Sometimes it seems like such a long way to go.
