    I can definitely relate to that. I have lost and gained so many times over the years. I am also starting out in the 250's and hoping that this time I will be able to keep it off. Good luck to you and congrats on your 4 lbs weight loss! If you have any tips, please share. :)

    Hey there1 I just started TODAY - I'm 5'8" and 243 :(. I'm 42, on steroids AND have a thyroid problem. My primary doctor told me that it will be close to impossible for me to lose weight but I intend on proving her wrong. When I start a "diet", I always have good intentions then as the days go by I'm less and less motivated until I completely cheat and give up. I'm hoping by being on this site that you all will help me stick to it! Message me anytime.

    I started on 242 and am now 222 - sounds like there are a lot of us in this zone! I can't wait until I break into the 100's... It feels so far off at the moment. I was also the heaviest I've ever been and I kind of tried to flip it round in my head to be 'this is the heaviest I'll ever be - it will only go down from here'. Good luck everyone!

    Just joined last week, I'm 5'10", female, 35 years old, starting weight of 239. I just finished week 3 of the Couch to 5K program and have recently started doing the calorie counting thing, so far it's working. My appetite has decreased so much and I'm eating healthier, not wanting to waste any of that hard time put in at the gym. I'm new to this site, but looking for support and encouragement as well!

    I'm 6' tall and started out at 267 pounds. Since December when I started, I'm down to 245 pounds. We're not the biggest nor the smallest, but hopefully we will be successful in achieving our goals.

    I started at 280. I lost 41 last year but got injured and now I'm working on losing what I put on during my injury. So now I'm at 29 lbs lost. :( But its okay. I have been on for a year and have the tools to lose it again.

    You can add me if you like!

    I am 5'5 and when I started in mid July I was 222 pounds. I am not now 170. I actually weighted myself this morning and I need to update my weight loss. I weigh myself once a month.

    Hi, I started just over a week ago, 5'11" and weight 140.6kg (around 309lbs) have had many yo-yo diets, so thought I would try this way now as a "life style" change instead of another diet. I lost almost 6lbs in my first week, Avoid as much fat and sugar as I can.

    Good Luck..

    I started at 250 exactly. That was nearly 3 years ago, though.
