I'm very similar. 5'4" 279. I'm not losing much right now cause I'm pregnant. However I have gestational diabetes and am following the diabetic diet and hoping to maintain till little one arrives the end of April. Feel free to add me! I know from past expirience a little encouragement and accountability go a long way!

Wow! you guys are so amazing! Thank You! This whole thing is feeling less overwhelming the more I read your replies. I'm 5'3 and 260lbs. That gives you all an idea what I'm working with. I can do this! Thank You All!

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like I can pretty much keep doing what I've been as far as exercise. Hoping this all works out!

i'm in a cast from knee down on right leg but i joined the gym anyways and found that there was plenty i really could do there! i burned up like 500 calories today at gym so if i can gimp around the gym you can too. :smile: do you have a knee brace you can wear? (and i take a NSAID about 1/2 hour before going to gym). most…

my daily calories are set at 1300 something. with exercise its often 1700-2000 I eat back my exercise calories anywhere from 300 under to 1 under the other day :) Water is all I drink, and i make sure to get 8 a day. I do track my sodium, but i dont pay that much attention normally. I just looked back, and it looks like i…

you are so true. i need to throw out the scale. I always weigh morning & evening - I think im a scale-aholic. perhaps if i make it about me & not the numbers i'll get somewhere. thanks!

so true, however i'm finding that there is a reason i am always behind the camera instead of in front of it!

i know the feeling. when i started out, my workout was also Leslie Sansone's 1 mile. it took me a while to actually get up to going further. in the back of my head i always thought about Jillian Michael s yelling at the ppl on Biggest loser saying that your mind gives up before you body will. It is true. Just keep pushing…

So awesome! you & i started around the same weight. How tall are you?

hey, hope you dont mind if i join in. Re-starting my weight loss journey. Both my husband & i are soooo ready to be parents. What's holding us back is my weight. I'm at 260 & want to drop a bunch before ttc. Hopefully this will help to get my butt in gear.

Trying to concieve

Worrying about it can have a huge effect on it being late. Been there...Try to relax & since the pg test says no, just wait for it.

new wardrobe, & hopefull some pg clothes :)

Thank you all soo much! I keep thinking with thos 60 pounds had to go from somewhere. I am the one who is normally behind the camera, so I guess I need to step in front to see if can actually see a difference. I did measure when I first started this, and I have lost a few inches from my waist, & even some from my neck, but…
