    Think first of health, then the weight will follow. One step at a time. You know you can do this, for your kids. They will be more proud everyday! You ARE worth it! Just start moving with what is comfortable to you, then you can push a little. NEVER GIVE UP!! If you stubble, get right back on the wagon. Good luck, we are all pulling for you!

    Welcome to MFP!

    I've only been here a short time but the community is really great. I've seen so many people here who have taken that first step to loosing hundreds! yes hundreds of pounds. It does take commitment to the goal of weightloss not just a number but a lifestyle change which is difficult.

    Check out the groups as there are some specialty groups for people with exceptional challenges.
    Also, I recomend reading some of the old recommended and popular posts as they contain good advice and answer a great many questions about what happens to your body when you try and lose weight.

    It seems that a great many people have physical challenges but put those aside for now (I know because I'm over 50 and wrecked my shoulder in an auto accident) and think of the things you can change instead of those that you can't.

    You are totally in the right place. My highest weight, that I can recollect, is around 375lbs, so I can completely sympathize. Myfitnesspal changed my life, I hope you're willing to let it change yours! It was until i signed up for this website that I got serious about my life and body. Don't get me wrong, I've lost, and then gained a little back, and lost again, and gained, and lost, and lost, and gained, and lost.. but i'm still losing and trying to always stay concious of my goal and my health. I have faith you can do it! Stay strong! You're in the best place possible.

    No one is too fat to be here and I dont think anyone is going to snicker at how much you weigh. At least I dont. We are all here for the same reason, to lose weight and support each other. I am happy to hear that you want to change your lifestyle and want to lose weight. Yay for you. If you would like my support feel free to add me as a friend.
