I know exactly how you feel! When I reached the 299 mark (I'm at 266 now) it was an amazing day. I hadn't been under 300 pounds since my best friend's death.

5'10.5" and my goal is 160 but I'll reevaluate once I get closer to my goal.

You can do it, Lisa! When I started I had 155 pounds to lose and now I'm down to 110 to lose now. As was already said, take it in small steps. Just one pound at a time. Work hard and you'll reach your goal!

I am definitely super attracted to skinnier guys... my fiance is quite thin (5'8 and about 135). Glad to know I'm not alone in this. :)

I'm doing low carb 5 days/week and I absolutely love it! I had a carb addiction for a long time and I'm finally getting over it. I don't follow any specific plan but I'd love to offer you support!

I'm Sara, 22 (will be 23 later this year). Currently working on my second of three rounds of college. I've got an AAS in Marketing and currently working on my B.S. in Psychology and then my M.A. in Counseling Psychology focusing in Marriage and Family Therapy. Feel free to add me :)

5'10.5" 285.4 (as of March 10th) and my goal is to net 2170. I'm down 29.6 pounds so far.

I may have a lot more weight to lose than you do, but I wanted to comment on one of the things that you wrote about. No matter much weight we have to lose, it's still difficult, and need support! I wish you luck on losing those 20 lbs!

I went to a private high school in WI from half way through my freshman year on, and my parents paid between $5500 and $6000/year.

Goodness, I absolutely love every kind of olive. They are freaking delicious! :)

I'm 5'10.5", 22 and started at 315. I'm currently down 28.2 lbs with a goal weight of 160. Feel free to add me. :)

I have been told that you should be drinking half of your body weight in ounces of water. Take me for instance, I am 286.2 lbs so I should be drinking about 143 ounces of water every day.

I love the 30DS! Today I just started level 2. I have results already, I'm down 2 lbs and 7 inches. :)

It's all about personal preference. Personally, I'm just attracted to men who are thinner but one of my closest friends is attracted to men who are the teddy bear type. And it's not that I wouldn't date a man just because of his weight (I mean, who I am I to talk. I'm definitely not a size 2) For me it's about personality,…

I met my fiance online :) Online dating isn't for everyone, but there are some great people out there.

In my opinion, if the person can't love you now, why do they deserve you later on? I'm engaged and I'm still severely obese, we started dating when I was severely obese as well. Now he is at the very bottom of a healthy weight range for his height. He actually wants to gain some weight. The point is that we all have things…

Lord yes, I drink at least 128 oz (16 cups) of water every day. I just have a 32 oz water bottle that I fill up 4 times per day. It needs to be super cold though, I hate warm water.

I love the 30DS, today I finished day 9. It does get easier but then level 2 and 3 come around. I've heard that they are tough and focus more on abs, so be prepared. They provide great results though, I've already lost a few inches and I'm just finishing up with level 1.

Most fast foods, mayo, beer, most chips, salad dressings, the list could continue for a long time.

Take either 15 or 20% lower than your TDEE, and that's a good starting point.

Typically 0 because I pretty much only drink water, but I sometimes have a cup of black coffee on the weekend so maybe 5 or 10 calories every week.

I am currently tracking both (I found some free tools online about WW points and such). If your interested in those tools, and hey it's free, send me a message and I'd be glad to send you the links.

My fiance is my perfect man. He is a little older than me (he's 24, I'm 22), darker skin, great sense of humor, sweet, romantic, smart, hardworking, loves kids, family is important, willing to do whatever it takes to make our relationship the best it can be, loves me for me, he is my biggest supporter.

I typically exercise 4-5 days a weeks now, but I use to be a couch potato. No one that I weighed 315 pounds! But I just knew I had to do it for my life's sake, if I didn't, who knows how long I would live. (And I am only 22 years old, and was 21 when I started) I was way too young to die because of something that I could…

Oatmeal with peanut butter, brown sugar and pineapple chunks. :)

I make mine with water... I add 1 TBSP of brown sugar, a pinch or 2 of cinnamon, and either pineapple chunks or peach slices. It's freakishly delicious :)

I weigh-in 1 day/week and take measurements 1 time/month.

Neither... I've always thought both are gross.
