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

Welp. I'm back in this group again after falling hard off the wagon. I'm so disappointed in myself. Starting over again.

Ok well this group is officially dead, but I need it, so I'm going to breathe some life back into it. Anyone in the 280's or 270's?

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!

Yay Katcan! Happy there is someone else in this range. Snacking is definitely my downfall; I can do the gym all day, but eating is why I don't lose.

Down to 274.4 for me this morning; I'll have to get a ticker working now.

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.

Wishing you all the luck!

Hi Pang, thanks for the support!

Rocky day yesterday, but today is a new day. Onward and downward

Goal Weight: 269
current weight: 273

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.
