I'm 5'11.75" and at my highest of 367, I was wearing a large 26 and maybe a 28. I'm at 308ish now, and I'm in a 22 but the legs are too large in the hips and tight in the calves. I remember being 220ish and just getting into a 14. At 250 I was in a 16.

I would love to shop at Torrid! I'm in the middle of no where NH, so I think the closest one to me (that I knew of) was Albany, NY, but when I went there last the store had shut down! :cry: I'll have to look around for one, now. :) Yeah all their jeans were very different feeling. Similar to Maurices, I feel like Old Navy…

Thanks everyone for the support! I could care less if it's vanity sizing or not. I couldn't fit into it before, and now I can. :) That's all that matters to meeeee (not actual size numbers) :happy:

great job and extremely inspirational! :)

I don't know where I'd be without diet coke/any diet soda product except sprite zero (gross)! Everyone's always on my case about it, telling me how bad it is for me, but I know I'm going to drink soda anyway, and this is better than drinking a full calorie/sugar soda. I'm up in New Hampshire, so I haven't seen these around…

Way to go! :) Great progress!

Fantastic job! Congrats!

I fear the day I'm able to walk in there and find anything my size. My bank account will suffer greatly! lol

HAHAHA! That would be a change. But nope, that didn't happen. ;p

Everyone keeps telling me how happy I look, and it makes me laugh because I think "wow...I must have looked really sad before!" But I have so much to be happy about, so why wouldn't I be?! :D

Thank you everyone for your kind words and friend requests! It really helps me keep going :)

I'm 23. 69 pounds down with about 115 more to go. Definitely would love the support and motivation from everyone!

This seems to be the story of my life. I wish I could say I found some miracle and a way to dodge it, but I haven't. I am trying to keep healthier things around so that if I am grazing continuously, it's at least something that's not going to add up to a lot of calories. But my problem is I always crave something warm, so…

I wouldn't mind to join, but I planned on Starting on September 7 due to a vacation. I'd still love to have the support, even though I'd be starting and finishing late.

Definitely check out Pinterest for some tasty recipes. I find things on there all the time (but guilty as charged...I never seem to make many of them). I had the exact same problem when I went to college. We shifted from a declining balance meal plan (started with $1,400-ish dollars but everything was overpriced (salmon…

I weigh once a day. Salt and I don't mix together well, and if I eat something salty (i.e. order our a pizza/other bad food) I balloon up overnight between 2-5 pounds. Weighing every day, for me, helps keep me accountable. Even if I go up the next day, I don't really let it bother me. I do it more because 1) I'm just…

I ran my first 5k at around 325 pounds and walked most of it, finishing at 49ish minutes. I've been training for my second one in the last week of October, and I am down 25 pounds from that right now (300.0 baby...almost 299!). I'm hoping to run all of this 5k, even if I'm running at a speed so slow that I could walk…

Congrats! It's always great when other people start to notice. It definitely gives me motivation to keep going. :)

Thank you, everyone, for the support and ideas! I'm definitely looking to increase my protein and am hoping that will help. I've been keeping on track with just eating three meals a day plus an afternoon snack and things have been seeming to get better. I think it's more habit creeping in on me now instead of the intense…

Hi there! I'm 5'11.75" and I'm 307.6 pounds. I'm in a 24 right now dress pant, and I can fit into a size 24 maurice's blue jeans. However, both of those are nearly hanging off me, so I'm probably in a 22 by now. I carry most of my weight in my stomach. I remember at some point around 275ish, I was going up a pant size for…

FANTASTIC JOB!!! Congrats!

I've done it twice - once in high school and currently. In high school, I tried replacing lunch and bringing one with me instead of buying a school lunch. I don't remember much..I remember I didn't do it for too long, but that was when I lost a good 50 pounds. I want to say that I was probably super hungry by the time I…

CONGRATS!!! I also haven't been in the 200s since 09/10 (i can't even remember..it's been that long), and my starting weight was 367. I'm at 309.8 now, and I will have the same reaction you did the day I see that 299.9. Keep up the great work! Jen

Thank you for sharing! I've definitely considered lean pockets/lean cuisine or something pizza to satisfy cravings sometimes. I really appreciate your support :). I'm going to start incorporating exercise in more each day. I'm trying to get my meal schedule pretty much down, and then I'm going to work on ways to…
