    I am right there with you! I began at 288 on January 2 of this year and I am now 256. It does seem that a lot of my friends on here are in the 100's and do not have much to lose in comparison to me.

    I started out at 332 pounds and am down to 253 pounds currently. Looking to get to 175 and see how I feel at that point. Feel free to add me if you like.

    You can do this girl!!!!!!!

    I started at 315, and am damn proud of myself today as I hit the 40 lbs lost mark with a fancy looking 275 on that scale :)

    Just wanted to add some motivation :)

    I don't like to admit but I am in that range too. I was at 272 and now at 260 and can't break past 260 at the moment. Feel free to add me.

    I'm in this boat, too, and looking to find inspiration again--and maybe some folks who understand some if the frustrations, too.

    Wow! So many replies overnight and tons of friend requests too! I'm honoured to have you all. :)

    And lots from people outside the range, which is brilliant. I initially just hoped to find more people who have similar goals to me, but that doesn't mean I'd turn down anybody outside of that. I've been over 300lb myself and I know how hard it is and how much of a struggle it can be.

    I'll work through the friend requests on here after work, but just wanted to say thanks anyway!

    I may also have a bit of a rant about 'Fattism', the last acceptable prejudice it would appear. A friend of mine is being bullied due to her size online and in real life, and nobody seems to give a monkey.

    I would LOVE some friends and fall into this category as well (although - truth be told - I wish I didn't ...)
    Just started on my MFP journey but have dieted off and on for years - never finding the "magic" that made it all work.
    256 starting weight. At 5'1" ... that's a lot to lose ...

    Looking forward to meeting new friends ... thanks for the post! :)

    Yes, "fattism" is alive and doing far too well. I travel a lot for my job. Yes, I know it sucks to be stuck in the middle seat next to me. You know what, it sucks even more to be me wedged into a small seat designed for a child's butt. Then, there are the stares and glares. And now it's working its way into the official workplace with "disounts" to those who maintain a certain BMI and blood pressure and counts. And guess what--it's not motivating to those of us who already know we need to lose weight.

    End of rant.

    On another note: What are your eating and exercise goals? What gets in the way of you meeting them? What are you going to do with those challenges?

    I started at 275 last May and I just weighed in at 199 this morning.
    It's hard and it will suck the first few months.
    But go head and start out for all the wrong reasons...because you want to make someone jealous, because you want to be able to get someone you never thought you could, because you want to wear a hot outfit. I started because someone made fun of me for not being able to run and I thought "I'll show them".

    Eventually...it will turn into something so much more.
    You will feel powerful and confident because you are being picky about what you're putting into your body.
    You feel a sense of fulfillment not from eating but from setting a small goal and achieving it.
    You'll wonder what else you can accomplish.
    And then all those small efforts will compound on top of each other to create something bigger than you thought possible.

    Good luck :)

    All of us are on a weight loss journey. It doesn't matter what your weight is when you start. The beauty of this journey is, "It doesn't matter when you start; What matters most are the results when you FINISH!" Remember, Never settle for less than the BEST!
