I weighed in at 250.0 today. I'm well not glad that there are others starting from such a high weight but it's good to know that I'm not the only one. I've got a bet going with my Daddy, the first to lost 50 wins. No prize but that's okay.
I've been working with a trainer since November to help teach me how to work out, except for a month when I had pneumonia. But next week is my last week with the trainer, and I'm a bit worried about how I'm going to do it on my own. I'm starting several things at once, hoping I don't overload myself. But I'm going to do the 30 day shred starting March1, maybe the 2nd if mail is late. Then when I finish with the trainer I'm going to start riding the exercise bike daily. Only every other day now. Plus I'm having problems with my ankle so I get to start physical therapy on it Friday.0 -

Just wanted to share...I started at 252 last November. I started with the treadmill, but not counting calories/watching my diet. From November to when I started here, I lost 10 pounds. My starting weight here on MFP was 240. I'm now able to do 2+ miles on the treadmill, with the goal of 3 miles by the end of March. I also have a chronic problem with my ankle, and take pain medication daily for it, have orthotics, where a brace, have to buy expensive shoes, etc. Since starting to monitor my intake, I've lost 5 pounds.0 -

Is anybody having a problem with logging their weight loss on their iPhone? Since starting, I have twice logged weight loss and it appeared in my diary, announcing that I had lost weight! But today it is just not playing along! I weighed this morning, added it to my diary and even though it changed to my new weight both on the website and on the iPhone, it still does not "announce" it. Any suggestions? Thanks! INGRID0

Hey there. I started Jan. 27 @ 238 lbs. I am 6' tall. I am down to 224 as of today, Feb. 29.
You can do it, eat a bit less, exercise a bit more, drink lots of water! Simple as that.0 -
Hi - I started at 242 in late December - down to 232.0

for all of the posts I have seen here and no I have not read them all, it seems to me that I might be the heaviest starter to comment, coming in at 313 pounds, from Brisbane, Australia..
over the years my weight has been pretty high, with a significant drop 2 years ago, and now I am at my largest I have ever been in my life..
So no, you are not the only one of us starting out at a high level of weight, there are many of us, and it is not that hard to do,
you must have patience, none of us gained this weight over night and it wont go away overnight,
remember this is not a diet, this is a correction of lifestyle...
