i was just wondering if there are any other women out there that are 300+ pounds or am i the only one? i was also wondering if anyone can lead me in the right direction as to where i can find a good scale that will weigh up to 400 pounds...i know im not nearly that big but i would like to know what i weigh for sure. Thanks everyone ... -Tracy

Hi there! My starting weight was 291, so I was close! My brother is also following SBD (he lives with us) and is over that. We also have a scale that only goes to 300, so it complicates things for him, but I do know that he has lost as we can see it in his face! If you would like to talk more one on one, feel free to send me a private message!

Tracy, one of our very own mods, Laurie (beachgal), weighed over 300 pounds. I'm pretty sure she's lost over a hundred to date. She's a great source of inspiration!

Laurie? Are you there, or are you busily writing some paper?

i need all the inspiration i can get. i would also like to say i had asked the 300+ question because sometimes i feel im the only one and its nice to know that there are people out there who are just as big as i am who have lost large amounts....befores and afters are what i think motivates me. seeing that i too can do it !

Tracy, I understand completely. I know that you can't relate to me, because I "only" weigh 208 pounds. Just as I can't relate to someone who weighs 140, and only has 15 pounds to lose. It's all relative, but we're only human.

I'm not sure, but I think there are a few more here over 300. The forum gets a bit quiet on the weekends, and there should be more people in tomorrow.

Hmmm... I think I'mNotSanta may have weighed over 300, too. Are you out there...?

Tracy, I didn't quite make 300 but I was sure headed that direction. I don't consider 17 lbs. away very far at all. There is a lot of very good support on this board. Welcome. Unfortunately, I am not sure about the scale thing.

seeing such great support has made me feel more commited now than ever...thank you ladies so much

I'm glad you feel comfy in our little corner of the 3FC world.
Re the scale question: Perhaps you could post it in here which is the 300+ and ready to try againforum but please don't leave us! This is where to get the support for The Beach. Here's the link:

Welcome . I undestand Walmart has a new scale that goes up to 400. Maybe 350. It does the BMI also. It runs around $40. Hope this helps. You can check out some places on line for scales also.
Again welcome.
