    This is my 2nd day on this site and I'm deperate to get out of the 200 club! I notice I'm only getting bigger and I don't want to eventually wake up to a 300 person. I feel tired and slouchy alot and at my age that shouldn't be happening, just want to make a change get fit and healthy. So I'm determined to go all the way this time and do it the right way! Please add me, need the support and motivation and willing to do the same for anyone.

    I'm gonna get down to 165, but stalled out at 220 for the last 2 weeks. Right now a mini goal is to see 219 or less on the scale. Feel free to add me, the more the merrier!

    I haven't been below 200 in at least 15 years. I'm slowing making my way there, but am STUCK at 209. Please feel free anyone to add me. Seems like we're all really at the same place!

    I truly want to be out of the 200s. Have been heavy my entire adult life. I almost made it last year..was about 20 pounds shy of it and then I crashed when the stress from grad school got to be too much. Starting over again..dusting myself off and determined to get there. I will fall down on my knees when I get to 199...and then I will get up and shout and continue. :)

    Would love some encouraging friends along the way. Feel free to add me!!! I am here every day posting and checking up :)

    Peace and love,

    I can't wait for me to be out of the 200s. 2 years ago I was 238. Going through a divorce brought me down to 225 where I stayed for over a year. Back in Feb, my work started a biggest loser challange & I joined here a month or so later. My goal was 199. I'm not at 205 & I changed my goal to 175.

    3 months ago, did I think that I could get to 175 lbs? NO! but I also never NEVER thought that 200 lbs could happen but now, after being here I plan to be in the ONEderfuls in a month!

    I will add that I do go to the gym when I do not have my kids with me. So, no gym this week but I will go next week. If not the gym, you should find something that you like...walking, dancing...that will help so much.

    Feel free to add me as a friend if you want! Anyone & everyone :)

    I desperately want to be under 200 pounds. High School was the last time I was under 200 pounds. However, I almost made it a couple years ago. I have struggled throughout my life with my weight. Last year I lost 45 pounds using my Fitness Pal and monitoring my portion sizes. However, due to medical issues, medicine, life, and etc I have put the weight back on. Now, I have to loss the weight for medical reasons and just to be healthy. I cannot wait for the day when I step on the scale and it says 199. I know with God all things are possible.

    I also want to get into the 100's for the first time in a long time. Currently at 238 and I also don't go to the gym, I actually workout at home though doing P90 which I have found to be an awesome way to lose weight and inches! Still have far to go but we can all get there. I am on the site a lot so anyone can add me :-)

    Been there done that it was the best day ever!!!

    When I first started I purchased an item as my goal (I had 40lbs to lost to get under 200) I had it up in my closet where I could see it every day but could not have it. The day I stepped on the scale and it said 199.6 was the best day ever!!!

    You can get yourself some weights and a lot of inexpensive dvd's at Walmart and Target. I highly recommend Jillian's 30 day shred. It only takes 20 minutes (which I know is key for a time crunched sahm) an it gets great results!!!

    Anyone wanting to add me just send me an invite! I'm 46, 5'6, My highest wt was 264. I started MFP the end of March/2012 at 254lbs and currently at 240lbs. I don't belong to a gym nor have money for expensive equipment at this time (maybe in the future I will invest in a bike or tredmill). I've been learning different exercises off the internet and members here at MFP that I can use just my bodyweight and recently I bought a workoutball and some dvds. I'm in it for the long haul. We can do it together.

    I'm fighting to be down below 200! My highest weight was in the 290s I believe, I was so scared to get on a scale during that time. I'm down to 275 and have about 150 lbs to lose. Anyone can add me! I try to be a great motivator and I love having more friends!

    I want to join you all! I too am looking to get below 200. I have a tenative vacation plan in September and want to be under 200 (about 25 more pounds) for it! This is my second week on MFP and so far I really like the website. I should admit I do use the gym but now that the weather is nicer I'm trying to go outside more.

    I am in the 200's club also. I just started this program a week and a half ago. Before that I was using what I had learned from Weight Watchers. I actually like this so much better. I have lost a total of 10lbs in about 5 weeks. 4 of them were lost after I started this program. I am loving it so far. I don't have any friends though. I need friends if anyone is interested.

    I am soooo close to getting out of the 200's. I was 212 and now I'm 204. Just 4 little pounds but it seems like it just...can't...get down there! Yes I will definitely freak out if I ever see 199!

    Sub 200 is my main goal at the moment! I was mortified when I hit 222.2 on the scales. I've managed to get it down to 212 as of today :)

    No gym membership here either, just cramming in walking when I can, I'm lucky in that I commute to work on public transport so walking between the stations can help me fit as much as 4.5 miles a day of walking into my day. I'm lazy in a morning though and get the bus... maybe when the British weather picks up I'll be able to get myself to walk in the morning too lol.

    I went on the HCG Diet & lost 20 lbs. I was under 200, sadly I'm back up there but more determined than ever to get my weight back down. I'm 5'0 & 205 lbs, hispanic, just diagnosed with PCOS & diabetes runs HEAVILY in my family. I don't want to end up with diabetes as well. I want to live happy and healthy & feel comfortable in my own body. This is the first time I've admitted my weight, I'm too ashamed to tell my boyfriend when he asks. He is very supportive and tried to help but I'm too embarrassed to let him help me. Maybe when I lose more weight and become more comfortable I'll let him help but for now I need support from people who are going though the same thing and understand exactly what I'm going through. Please add me! I need all the support I can get!
