400+ Club?
 

Anybody else in the 400+ club?

I have no doubt that I'm one of the biggest people here. Just would be nice to have someone to talk to. Misery loves company, right? LOL

Hi ana im rosey and my highest wgt recorded was 368# i post in the 50+ forum. i would be glad to be a buddy. im 63,married for 40 yrs same guy,i have 2 dd's and 4 grkids. 3 dogs and live ina log house in alaska. i have had aproblem with food all my life,love to cook and love to eat what i cook and hate to exercise. my health took a nose dive ,i'm doing well now. so if you need a buddy here i am. theres lots of careing folks on these sites you are not alone.:hug: rosey :wave:

:welcome: ANA ~ this is a great site; full of nice people that are very supportive, and they have lots of wisdom too. I'm sure there are others here in your weight-range, but regardless -- we are happy that you have joined us here. Remember that you can still post in the 300+ groups as well, if you like ... :hug:

Hello Ana

Actually there are quite a few people here in your weight range so please don't feel self-conscious about that. But it doesn't matter... we are ALL here because we are overweight... some of us a lot and some just a little. We are glad to have you. I wish you all success!

I was probably easily around 450. My highest recorded is 435, but I didn't get a scale until a month into dieting. You aren't alone. Trust me

off topic i know, but where are you in alaska? ive lived in AK all my life, all over the place

Welcome Ana.

My highest recorded weight was 330 but I know I was heavier then that.

Anyway I do not think the number matters. There are many of us here who are significantly overweight and can relate to similar issues and certainly offer support. :)

when i started dieting i was in the 400 plus club 477 lol. now im in the 300 plus club. so we are out there

I am also in the club, though not for long :D

AS many people have told me: drink lots and lots of water!
its crucial to your success.

Oh hun... There are so many who are in the various forums of this board who are former members or even current members of the 400+ club.

So many who have been there... You are not the largest to be a member of this forum. You will be welcome in this section though. They love you through thick and thin. Even if you choose another way, or started in a different place.

My heart and soul belongs to the 300+ club... Goodness knows I love them here. I've been swinging through these parts since 2007... 334... Down... Plateau at 280 happily in 2008... Regain... PASS... Hit 369 in 2009... Down... Plateau at 291.2 in 2010... Regain... FREAK OUT as I approached 350... ;) Stopped at 339.5 in 2012... Down I go.

I am going a different way now. In January 2013 I am going to have WLS. Not for everyone... But for me... I can say I am to the point where I am ready to go there. Not a bypass. A VSG. I was worried at first but this section of the forum still showed me love and support when I made the choice. I don't post a lot in here... I spend a lot of time on OH because their WLS info is faster moving and more active but I come here and post here and there. Mostly I read though.

I guess my point is... The 300+ club will love you if you let them. They will pick you up and dust you off if you need it and some will even give you a kick in the pants if you need that as well. So welcome. :hug:

You are not alone!!! I am in the 500+ lb club and will hopefully be in the 400+ club by the end of the month!

We can do this!!! :)

Hi Ana! You are not alone at all!! My start weight was 479.4lbs. I am down about 20lbs sence my last weigh in. I understand how you feel, about being the biggest person. This board is wonderful! Everyone is so suportive. No one will ever make you feel uncomfortable. Look forward to following you and encouraging you on your journey! :hug:

Cheer up Ana, we are all here to help support and encourage each other, you've made the step of joining the best forum in the world so you'll be thin before you know it :-)

Hello Ana! I'm a member! LOL My starting weight was 428 - I am down 16lbs in the past 2 1/2 weeks...Welcome!

Me too!
 

Hi Ana,

I started out at 470 and am now in the 420-30s. It's a number. I do not let it define me and am always working on taking better care of myself.

Best,
