Well, I guess I will check in here as well then...started out with 369 lbs, made it to 347.7 so far. Trying to get down to 200, and then re-evaluate.

It's good to see that I'm not on my own though. If there is somebody out there who is in the same eight-class and wants to have a chat, feel free to PM me at any time...

Im checking in here.

Well I wish I wasnt in this club

But I am and hope to get out of it, that's what is important.

I started my diet august 26th, 2008
Im a 20 year old male and weighed 437 lbs that day. I'm probably the biggest person on here.

Lost 7 lbs so far.. and I have a long journey, but I am going to lose it all for sure. I want it more than ever.

Hopefully I get through my weight loss safely and change my life into a new healthy me.
Im really sick of all the food I ate before, literally. I dont even want it.

Nice to meet everyone, Glad to see im not the only one going through this, this board is truly going to help me get through everything.

Thank you all.

Wow, congrats man, you give me motivation because you were bigger then me when you started and you lost all that.

Thanks alot and keep up the good work.

i weigh 334.5 i'm 5'5.. 23 and just starting out.. i need to take some before pictures

i've tried diets and gyms and all that before.. but i was never serious..
i am now=)
.. i'm super excited to do this! i need motivation though.. i'm pretty negitive and i will talk myself out of doing this.

ah.. reading all these posts .. its really inspiring.. i feel like i won't get judge here and i hope i'm right! wooo.. well lets see how it all goes ! good luck to everyone!!!!

At 437 lbs you may be the heaviest, but how tall are you? I think that what it really boils down to is BMI or % body fat. If you are 6'6", 437 lbs is heavier than some one 5'6" weight 400 lbs, but not bigger (proportionally).

Either way, congrats on your great start and I hope that you do well. I found this site to be a great motivational tool. Also I enjoy seeing what others are doing and having success with. Just don't jump from one person's routine to another thinking that his is better than hers is better than yours. That goes for both "diet" and exercise. We are all INDIVIDUALS and there is no cookie cutter program that will work for everyone. Once you find what works for you, stick with it! If you plateau, don't give up and try something else, just modify what you are already doing and see if that helps.

Kind of stuck in a plateau right now. Still on Target to get under 300 lbs by end of this month but will have to try and break this plateau. Did my last weigh in and only lost a pound. I was expecting more but at least it was a pound lost and not gained. My next weigh in will be the 15th.

^ a pound is still a pound! Keep on truckin' and hit it like an animal and you'll break the pleteau don't let it kill your motivation.

Well i'm also a former 300'er. Needless to say, I was sick of it and I can't even imagine how I could eat all that food so much. I've been relaxing this past week taking a little break from everything and i'm noticing i'm not even veering to anything bad. The craving to eat it really has gone I guess

I'm only 5'8" I plan to gain 2-4 inches within the next few years with this height forum ive been reading up on lately though.


Thank you very much for the congrats, good luck with getting through your plateua and the rest of your loss aswell! and I know what you mean, this site has already given me tons of motivation, and ive learned alot just being on here for 2 weeks. I'm never gonna give up even if i plateau ill find a way to get past it, im at the point right now where i'm scared i'm going to die...so thats a big motivator aswell.

If Jared the Subway man can do it, you can too! I think you'll melt off the first 160lbs with ease, as if you just cahnge you diet a bit, and try to get a start at getting some exercise in, your body will react quickly. You can do it!!!

LMAO

Do they have a way to lose height? I'd like to drop a couple of inches!!

Thanks for the encouragement, appreciate it, hope that 160 does come off easy!
good luck with your loss too

Haha man you're luckkkkyyy, I would kill to be as tall as you are.

5'8 isn't a bad hight! and you'll do amazing !! just keep yourself around people who support you! and start slow, even if it takes a few years to get down to your goal weight! so what! thats at least 7 years of your life that your weight won't take from you(obesity takes on average 7 years from you)
and you're doing fantastic so far! so just keep going and don't worry about anything!!

Sorry mate, that title goes to me I think I'm currently 429.9 lbs. When I started out in March, I was 504.8 lbs

I'm 6'1, 22 years old, btw.

Hey Everyone, it's been a couple of weeks since I checked in. I wish I had better news to report, but I have actually gained 5.6 pounds over the last two weeks. Normally I would be upset or discouraged over this, but one of those weeks I was in Vegas and I had a great time, so I expected the weight gain. (LOL) I will be working hard over the next few weeks, because I am really looking to moving into the 200 pound club!

Welcome to the new members and good luck with your weight loss, if I can do it then anyone can do it. Just remember don't get down on yourself, when I say I get discouraged that only last for like a 1/2 hour and then I move on. Sometimes, you just have to let the bad things go and look to the future weigh in.
