New Low
191!!!!!!!!
The last time I weighed this I was probably a senior in high school.
Now I am a middle aged grandma to be who is stepping into the person I always thought I was: active, exuberant, and healthy!!
Getting healthier every day!!
Kudos to me for continuing to take charge of my life.
169 is right around the corner.
My body becomes lighter.
The emotional weight holding me down become lighter.
My metabolism burns off the old weight.
I am inspired by my life.
Everything is going my way.
Every day in every way, I feel lighter and more free.
I love exercising now.
Walking is easier.
Running is easier.
I FEEL LIGHT AND FREE EVEN AS I RUN UP STAIRS I USED TO STRUGGLE WITH.
Light and free! Light and free! Light and free!

Set weight theory is interesting but I find hard to believe that anyone's set weight is going to be 600lbs. And it's dangerous to ignore that being extremely heavy won't make your life harder or more succetible to some health issues.
Genetics play a big role in determining your set point, which is the place where our natural weight falls and where our bodies experience homeostasis. And sometimes that point starts out fat! I'm not sure how common it is to start out very fat, and I don't think it's impossible, but it's likely that many folks in the 600+ club have experienced changes in their set point. Set point actually increases the more depravation your body experiences. Let's say you're dieting and your weight dips below your set point. Your body basically enters starvation mode and fights for survival (slowing your metabolism, changing hormone levels to reduce fullness and increase hunger) and doing what it can to hold onto that energy deposit. Now you've regained that weight and then some, and the extra weight sort of acts as an "insurance policy" to prepare for another period of depravation. So now your set point rests at a higher weight than before. You try another diet, lose weight, and the cycle continues. According to theory, someone who has a long history of dieting, disordered eating, restriction, periods where food was inaccessible, or anything that led to weight cycling could very well have a set point of 600lbs or above.
[ID: A graph labeled "The Set Point Theory" by Beth Rosen, MS, RD, CDN, showing a straight-sized body at a starting set point. The graph descends in a staircase-like fashion, and at the lowest point in the graph, the body is thinner. The graph climbs up to a bar higher than the original, labeled "New Set Point." The body at the new set point is wider than the body at the original set point. The graph repeats once more, and the body gradually gets wider. End ID.]
All this to say - weight loss doesn't work. No one is saying that there aren't any adverse effects that come with being that size. I have no idea where you're coming from with that but it really sounds like anti-HAES fear-mongering crap. (Health at Every Size doesn't mean "everyone is healthy at every size." It means everyone has a right to pursue healthcare without weight loss.) No one is "ignoring" the challenges that superfat and infinifat people face. What we are saying is that the alternative (weight loss) does nothing but cause harm. So just let fat people be fat, dude.

"Much of the data on fatness and cardiovascular problems may actually be data demonstrating the dangers of dieting, because most of the studies connecting obesity, cardiovascular disease, and mortality aren't analyzing people who have maintained a stable 'overweight' body their whole lives, but instead chronic dieters consistently attempting to change their size."
