Anyone over 300lbs but MOTIVATED?

I started at 315 and am down to 292. Hubs is somewhere above 335 (that's the highest our scale registers), he's also very motivated to get it off.

You guys are all so inspirational. The heaviest I ever was was 297. June 2010 I started losing weight again and started at 286. I dropped down to 213.5lbs by August 2011. Since then I had rebounded to 230. I've maintained at 230 for 5 or 6 months.

I like to focus on the positives. I've been able to maintain and not gain. This allowed me to get ready to lose weight again. When I was motivated. Yeah it sucks that I gained almost 20lbs, but I am still weighing less than I did two years ago. And I need to focus on the positives and move forward. Not look back, unless it's to say "damn, I'm still smaller than I was then".

Also, I found that after 230, it was much less about the "number" on the scale, and much more about fitness and inches. Just my personal experience . If I stayed 230, but continued to lose inches, then who am I to argue ? :P

You can add me if you would like.

I was 309 when I started in April, I am now 293, my goal is at least two hundred if I can get lower then that I will be even more happy. It is hard when your that high in weight...I know how you feel, but can do this with all of this support it can happen.. no.. let me correct that it WILL happen

My heaviest weight was 330. A week and a half ago, I was 299, now I'm down to 295. And I want to get down to 150 pounds. We can do this everyone Feel free to add me too, I'm new and need more friends !

that's me! I started at 400 back in january. it always helps to have people who totally get what you are going through

I need this motivation. I am going to come here everyday for encouragement.

My name is Anna and I started out 12/10 at 343 pounds. As off today I am down to 288 but I feel like I am gaining and losing the same 5 pounds these past few weeks. Feel free to add me anyone.

Looking for an accountability partner - someone who will speak the truth in love, help me stay focused & not allow excuses...

I found mfp on January 21 2012.I was my biggest at 310 in september 2011. I am 263 now. Just to warn you im not a clean eater. I do try to stay under my calorie goal and most days i do succeed. On ly excerise i do is turning on my ipod and move.something is working im just going to go day by day see what happens 199 would be awesome. could always use new friends. Im not one to wtg you all the time but im free to chat if you feel like it Im on most of the day..

my biggest motovation is that i saw for myself that i can do it so why stop?

Lots of inspirational people on here, well done all and please add me if you need a weight journey buddy that got loadssssssss to loose

Been talking to a lot of people on here I noticed some are only on 1200 cal diets. MFP has me on 1730 for 2ibs per week sedatary. Does anyone feel thats high Im usually under by 150-250 cals per day.

whether it is high or not depends a a few variables. Height is a big one. if you think it is high then lower it your self and see how it goes. I think what MFP places you at is just a guideline. we have to customize things to fit our particular bodies. Good luck

Around 315 now...official weigh in later today. Excited to start my weight loss journey and finally get fit! It's been a long time coming...I've been overweight since junior high. My first goal is to reach 215. Looking for friends to help me stay motivated! Feel free to add me!

My Name is April, I just started with MFP 5 days ago at 280lbs. I want to lose at least 125lbs before I turn 40 which gives me about a year and a half give or take.Motivation with me is the key and I really need all the help and support I can get and will definately return the favour! Please add me!

I was over 300lbs.. I started out at 320 in March...this morning I'm 297.6 Im definitely motivated. I can't wait to see 197.6

PS: add me I love friends
