Welcome 2 much,

I had the same problem with weighing when I started. My starting weight is listed as 360, but that is just a guess because my doctor's scale only went up to 350. I think I may have even been higher than 360 -- perhaps 370? What matters is not the starting weight but that I have lost a lot of weight and you will too. I couldn't get weighed for the first several months, but I started feeling better right away and then my clothes started getting looser. If you weigh over 350, I think it takes at least 20 or 30 pounds before you notice it in the way your clothes fit -- and more if everything is elastic -- so don't worry if you don't notice a change in the clothes right away. This way of eating really does work and you will lose weight!
