Anyone starting from around 230-250?

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.

Yes....at my heaviest weight I was 265. I was 254 when I started on MFP. There are alot of people on this site that started at a high weight & the motivation & inspiration is great!! I am now down to about 235...cant wait to get under 200!! Good Luck

I started at around 230 and now i'm down in the 190's.

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 in this weight range and am down 19 lbs!!!

Add me if you're a supportive friend and fun to talk to! :flowerforyou:

Trust me, you are not alone, I'm 224 from 250 lbs ( ugh )
Looking forward to saying goodbye to the 200's.
Let's do it!

I am at 235 right now! I am looking for others to share with as well.

You go gurl! I have lupus fibromyalgia diabetes, steroids n I go way back, added 40 plus pounds n rough road doesn't get easier with age ... But we r not quitters!

Definitely not the only one!! I started Sept 2010 at 243 and only 5'5". I fell off the wagon from Dec. 2010- April 2011, but am currently down to 191. It's a long, long journey but as long as you stick with a slowly but surely mentality, you'll get there. Set small goals so that you're having something to celebrate often. It really does help. Good luck & best wishes! :flowerforyou:

I started at 250lbs last year, I lost 20lbs initially but fell off the wagon at Christmas and gained 5lbs but I'm back on track and have lost 20.5lbs int total since using this. I started back on my 'Shrink Liz' mission 2 weeks ago and this time round I have added people from various forums - people I don't even know - and their support has been amazing. You are by no means the only one between 220 & 230; if you want this then you'll do it :-)

I bought a dress 3 sizes too small for me and I have been using it as my visual target which I can honestly say has helped me massively. I have a picture of the dress on the fridge door, in my purse and even on my computer screen at work. It's a constant reminder of what I want and always acts as a 'kick up the bum' when I'm not feel motivated or think about straying from my healthy eating plan.

Feel free to add me.

Good luck xx

I "re-started" on Saturday. I'm currently 216! You are NOT alone sister!

My first time around here I started at 215 and got down to 165. Unfortunately I gained it all back due to being lazy and getting out of routine, and the pounds brought a few friends. Right now I am fluctuating but I am right around 225.....my immediate goal is to get down to at least 200, hoping to get my cycles regulated since my husband and I are trying to get pregnant. But depending on how much longer it takes (it's already been 10 months) I'm ultimately shooting for 160-165 again, either before I get pregnant or eventually after.

Hi Gabby! I started in January at 225. I have lost 7 pounds and plan to lose a lot more.... hopefully before my June wedding. I am 5'5" and would love to have more friends that share similar goals and are looking to give and get some good support! Feel free to add me. :happy:

You aren't alone. I'm at 220 now, but my highest ever was 240. Oh, and I'm 5'5"

I'm starting at 250......I'm 5'7". This is my first post on here, since I just started MFP yesterday.
