Is anyone still in here? I'm at 274 now and creeping down, I like the idea of jumping from ship to ship with each 10lbs or so. Gotta keep going and not sabotage myself or get scared...
Hi Neon!
I'm just checking in. I wanted to encourge you, that you CAN do it! Even if you slip in a "sabotage" (I do that myself, so I know what you mean), don't let it dictate what you do the next day. You know? So, I've been doing pretty good treating those moments that way. And, look how much progress you have made! That is amazing! You can do it!!

Hi everyone! I'm new here. I started at 277 but after a couple weeks I am at 270 now... here's hoping I can beat the last little bit and make it to the 260s soon
Hi there,
I'm new to this site but looking through some of the post I believe I'm in great company! I started at 273 3 years ago and lost 75 lbs then got pregnant. I gained 60 pounds during pregnancy and after the baby, was 230ish... When I stopped breastfeeding the weight shot back up and I lost control and got to 291! Last month I weaned myself off caffeine and carbs and this month started the HGC diet and so far lost 12 pounds in 9 days. Today my doc also prescribed Contrave. I haven't filled it yet but after some research it seems to be an antidepressant with a appetite suppressant. The antidepressant part worries me because I am not a depressed person.. Has anyone taken it and had luck??? TIA
Hi everyone! I lost a lot of weight on this site in 2013, going from 272 to under 220. In 2014 I did a bunch of infertility treatments including IVF and got pregnant and had an AMAZING baby boy in August 2015! Unfortunately, I gained a TON of weight in infertility treatments and was on bed rest the first trimester of pregnancy, so I'm just in terrible shape! Ive been using "Oh, I just had a baby!" as an excuse but my son is over 10 months old now so not even I'm buying it!
Anyway, we're trying for a sibling in October and I want to control my weight better this time and hopefully drop a little/get in a bit better shape before conceiving. I weighed in at 288 this morning
I'm here! I started on Jan 1st at 280 and today I'm 278.8. I still haven't gotten complete control of my eating. I snack way too much But.. I'm not giving up! We can do this!
I'm in the 240s now.
I used to be top out around 265 and the most I e we weighed was282 after a car wreck I was sedentary much longer than the injuries should have healed.
I did start walking again. And start a job where I'm on my feet 7-10 a day 5 days a week.
Hello everyone! It doesn't seem like this thread is very active either, but I still wanted to say hi regardless...lol. I weighed in at 289 today, so I jumped on the chance to move down into a new "decade" thread, haha. I know I am just barely qualified, but hopefully it will stick in the 80s tomorrow as well and keep moving down from there.
I think this was my first decade thread when I first joined 3FC, because my old highest weight was 282 when I joined up. Unfortunately, after getting down to the 220s, I ended up letting life get to me and got back up to 245ish. Then, I got pregnant in 2013 and ballooned up to 292 in the transition from 2nd to 3rd trimester. I lost a good chunk with breastfeeding, but that didn't end up working out (supply issues), so I got depressed and got myself right back into the 290s and hadn't lost a thing since. My son is now nearly 2 and a half years old, so I have fluctuated between 292 and 297 for that long and am sick of it.
So, while I obviously still have a long way to go, I'm happy to be moving down past that threshold for the first time in forever!
Good Morning. 278 this morning. I started on New Years Day with intentions to have a big drop the first week, which is usually what always happens, but I found out very quickly that wasn't going to happen. Food has such a strong hold on me.. But, I'm not giving up and this morning the desire to lose is strong and I'm determined to have a good day and go from there. Week one is behind me and I'm 2 pounds less than I was on Jan 1st. I'm happy with that! It won't be long and we can move out of this thread and on to the next. Let's do this!
I weighed myself today and weighed 280.6 (11 pounds lost). It was my first week on a diet so my only killer week like that I am afraid. Still a long way to go but great progress I think! I hope all of you are having a great week too.
I was hoping after my losses last week I'd be out soon, but I self sabotaged this weekend, so I'm sticking around for a bit more. 277.6 as of this morning, hopefully when I cut out on salt that will drop quickly.
But.. I'm not giving up! We can do this!
