I am 5' and when I started I weighed 248lbs. I don't have any kids so I can't even hide behind "I haven't lost my baby weight yet..." I am just fat and I was lazy. This is a great site. It make me focus and it teaches me what I should and shouldn't be eating. I don't have a lot of friends on here yet...but I want some Everyone I do have as my friends are so supportive and great.
Today I start my 3rd week and I am already down 9lbs...
Good luck to you!
You can do it...and I'm here to help!0 -
please anyone here feel free to add me. i started at 257 and currently 227. its a long journey and some road blocks along the way but in the end it will all be worth it.0

I started my journey 300+ days ago at 245 lbs. I was a size 24 and now I'm a 10. I have a little more to go...
It has been an incredible journey. I was tracking my calories in an excel spreadsheet for about 3 weeks and was getting lazy about charting when a good friend told me about this site. I can tell you that MFP has been a great help in keeping me on target and with the support of friends here and in real life and the compassionate support of my husband and sons here and our daughters across the US, I have made this insurmountable task of getting healthy, changing my habits and the overall way I look at food as easy as it can be.
Feel free to add me... Best wishes for success!!! 0 -
Hey girl, my name is Amanda and I just started this two days ago. I would love to be friends and im 279lbs. I am a married mom of three small boys and need to get a more active body for my more active mind. How do you add friends? I def need support in my journey. My husband is a former Marine and very physically fit. My kids are extremely active but w my weight it slows me down so much. My husband is soooo supportive and thinks im beautiful the way i am. My story is long and tragic but I would rather this be a hello and nice to meet you email. Feel free to email me or let me know how to add people. Thanks so much.

Anyone feel free to add me! I am always looking for new and motivational friends!

Autistic children are amazing. (I work at a developmental center and am going to school for elementary special eduaction)
That said, I understand having a child with special needs in a full time job in itself. Make sure to make time for yourself. That will be key into making the weight loss work. ( I am sure I am not saying anything new to you. Haha.)
Anywho, feel free to add me, I would love to help motivate and support you on your journey.0 -
Hi! Happy to report that I made it to the 250's earlier this week after starting this journey at 304! I'd love to have any of you as friends. I will always be your cheerleader and refuse to judge or criticize.
(BTW, I love teaching autistic children! I was a special educator for 17 years and am now a public school Montessori teacher who always has autistic children in my class. I love them!! 0 -
