32 here! Down 94lbs with 54lbs to go!

I am very similar, comfort eating has been a part of my life since I was 13! It's time to break some bad habits! Feel free to add me!

I too have well over 100lbs to lose. Much like you this is my third time going through the motions. Feel free to add me!

I am 5' 11" and currently 312lbs the smallest I have been as an adult is 235lbs and was a size 14/16. My doctors said that they want me between 165lbs and 175lbs but I feel that is a stretch for my height and build(big hips). So I have set a temporary goal of reaching 200lbs and then going from there based on how i…

Hi there! My name is Valerie and I just stumbled across this discussion board. I am 31 years old and a mother to two beautiful little kiddos. I am 14 months post pregnancy and 2 months post op from Thyroid removal. I have not lost any of the baby weight that I gained with my daughter. I have a goal of losing 120lbs, I am…

I'm Valerie, I am 31 with two small children. I have recently had Thyroid removal surgery and was advised by my doctor to consider weight loss surgery. I just started my pre-op journey. I am hoping to have the surgery in late September early October. Height: 5'11" HW: 375 (4/2012) Consult Weight: 327 (3/28/17) CW: 316.6…

This was me as well. I was the "fat hyperthyroid" person. However, due to me having multiple growths on my thyroid I am now two months post-op from having a total thyroidectomy. I have noticed since the surgery my weight has been increasing and my energy levels decreasing. My endocrinologist suggested looking into VSG as a…

Feel free to add me as I am in the same. I will eat what I want and when I want but I am getting better at fitting it into my calorie goal for the day.

To lose enough weight to be able to jump with my son on his birthday at the trampoline park.

I actually made a salad and ate it instead of letting the produce go bad in the refrigerator! :)

One of my favorite! Love my little boy.

All I can say is that when I got married last year I was 5 months pregnant and a size 22 I am 6'0 tall and my gown looked amazing on me! I didn't look like I was pregnant or fat at all. There is a perfect wedding dress for everyone, there are different cuts and designs that can flatter any body type you just have to find…

My first tattoo is the Chinese symbol for strength, pink to black in color. I got this tattoo because I went through a lot in my life when I was 26, I became a single mom, I had to learn how to support myself and my son alone, and I finally lost weight (120 lbs to be exact). I got this tattoo as a constant reminder that I…

I too also have over 100lbs to lose. Feel free to add me.

Hello there - I am 30, 6' and just had my second child. This is my 3rd time in this rodeo of weight loss. Before I conceived my daughter (baby 2) I was very successful in losing over 120lbs. However, with pregnancy came the flood of baby weight all over again. I now have about 110lbs to lose and would love friends with…

Congrats on the upcoming wedding. I am recently married and expecting baby number 2 in about 3 weeks. My hubby tries to be supportive of my weight loss as well however he is a smaller guy who has never had to watch his weight. He is roughly about 135lbs soaking wet and as for myself at almost 9 months pregnant I am at 315…

Anyone feel free to add me as well. I am a mother of two, the second one arriving late January to early February. I lost around 120lbs my first go with MFP but have gained back 60lbs since this pregnancy. I am aiming to lose around a total of 100lbs or more. Feel free to add me for support!

Hope this isn't too late. I would like to join. However, I am 8 months pregnant but I am due the first week of February and think that I can lose the 20lbs or more between having the baby, breast feeding, and a better diet and exercise by March 27th. Height: 6' SW: 355 CW(Pregnancy):315 GW for challenge: 285 GW: 195

Hi, I am Valerie. Full time working mom of almost 2, I am expecting my second little one in February and am looking for a support team. When I first joined in 2012 I had great success in losing over 100lbs however the friends I originally had have since disappeared. Since this pregnancy I have gained 50lbs back and am…

You look fantastic, congrats on your success and I wish you the best of luck with continued success in your journey!

I am trying to get back on track as well. I have lost my first 100lbs but I still have another 75 to 80lbs to go. Feel free to add me for support and motivation.

29 years old 5' 11 SW: 350 CW: 257 GW: 185 There aren't any exact but it seems like everyone isn't too far off from one another.

Hi- I am a single mom to a 3 year old little boy. I work almost 60 miles from home so my day consists of an 8.5 hour work day and then 4 hours total of commuting back and forth to work. I was recently diagnosed with Thyroid disease after loosing my first 100lbs and now I am struggling to get rest of this weight off.

Most of these people on here are right. Pain pill addiction has become an epidemic. I have witnessed this first hand with my son's father! He had a major surgery when he was 25 on his back to correct his "hunch back" also known as Kyphosis. After the surgery he was on pain pills "Percocet" for 6 months while he recovered.…

^^^^^ ~ I am in the same boat as these ladies. That was the first to go. I went from a 46B to a 38A but because I am self conscious now. Victoria's Secret bombshell bras have been my best friend...lol

Congrats, that is amazing work! I can't wait until I reach that NSV as well! I bet you feel amazing! Keep on kicking butt!

I have had this happen to me many times. Guys like to feel secure about themselves and lying about their height seems to help them. After several dates with men that were clearly insecure about the fact that I told the truth about my height and was several inches taller than them I just decided to date shorter guys. It…

Talk about a bridezilla! I think it is unfair that you are pushing "size standards" on your bridesmaids. Yes, I understand that this is your day and yes it should be all about you. So what if your bridesmaids have gained or lost. The focus is going to be on you and not them. I think you are insane for wanting the "perfect"…

Congrats Jesse on your amazing achievement. You are such an inspiration. I have started out where you were and have lost almost 100lbs but keep having setbacks. Your such an inspiration to keep pushing on and kicking but. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey.
