    Hi, feel free to add me, I started around 230 in January and so far have managed to lose 28 lbs, its not easy but with friends and support we can do this...I am 5' 7" and would like to get to 150 lbs, but I want to do it the healthy way, no gimmicks just healthy eating in smaller portions.

    I started walking every day, doing 2 miles at the moment but will increase the distance over time...good luck, WE CAN DO THIS !! :)

    I'm much shorter than many of you at 5'2", but I weigh 227, which makes me quite heavy. But I'm also starting in the 200's!

    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

    I started from there. Same height. You can do it.

    I'm 5'3", and my high weight was 282 lbs.

    I started on this site at about 253 or so, I think. Don't really remember.
