    I'm 6'1" and 233 lbs. I'm down from 288 lbs but still have more to lose to be at healthy weight. My current goal is 200 lbs. It feels so far away. I think of how far and how long it has taken me to get here and on the one hand feel very proud and on the other hand feel very overwhelmed.

    I used to be very active, but knee pain and injuries side-lined me. I didn't learn to be a gym rat when I gave up basketball and volleyball. I put on the pounds (as if I didn't already have enough excess LOL) and it just kept piling on. I have gotten my act together, but still so far to go.

    Shopping for clothes when you are tall AND big AND female sucks!

    I'm on the short end of tall, 5'8" I'm a mother of two young daughters, with a highest weight of 286 three years ago. I'm down to 182, with a goal of 160-ish. I'm taking it slow these days, focusing more on building strength than weight loss, although I do still like seeing the scale go down.
    Feel free to add me, but please include a message :)

    I am 5'11" and I've been over the 200lb mark. Even though I'm not anymore, I understand where you're at so I would be honoured to be your friend. Back before computers (and I am only 46), I gained about 20 lbs in a year. Long story...but anyhow, my doctor said "you should start writing a food diary so that you are aware of everything going into your body." Well it worked - with a little help from Weight Watchers etc...Here we are in 2012 and voila, we've got an online, super easy way to stay honest and accountable. I love it! Wishing everyone all the best success!

    Hey girl! I started this journey about 15 months again at over 250 lbs. I am 5'9". Today I weigh 168 and am aiming to lose another 10-15 more and then tighten and tone! I loved your attitude in your blog post- you sound like such an awesome and positive person. I am here to tell you that you CAN and WILL do this and that I wish you the absolute best of luck :) Congratulations on taking the first step toward your new life :)

    I'm 5'9" and my starting weight was 291, I'm at 287 now. I'm eating between 1600-1900 calories a day (depending on my exercise). I will send you a friend request. BTW you look great in your "before" pictures- you carry it very well.
