Am at 285, goal weight is...pretty much anything under 200. Would like to get down to around 130-140, but not counting on it. Anything under 200 would make me super happy though. Anyone supportive can feel free to add me!0

Can ya'll educate me, I am new to the community, how does this work? does this page stay active and everyone just uses this page to check in with each other or is there another forum dedicated to a group? Sorry so new to this. I am learning. Any tips on how to stay connected with others like myself in the 100lbs to lose would be fantastic.0

I have a target in my head to hit 100 lbs of loss. I'd love to just push it to a little extra 16 lbs off so i've set my target to that

Please anyone add me, I need all the support I can get, I need to lose 100+ pounds. I started MyFitness Pal a couple of months ago, but over the Holidays, quit logging in, I am trying to get back to it, I had lost 15 pounds by using it and am grateful that I have only gained 1 pound of it back over the Holidays, but I need to lose and to do so, I think I need support...thank you!
Feel free to add me. I'm on the same journey that you're on. I too have over 100 pounds to get rid of. We can encourage each other on this journey.0 -
I have about 160+. I am not sure exactly what I want to get down to. Right now I am thinking 140. I have not been anywhere near that since I was in middle school or so. If you want please add me. I am having problems getting to people's profile to add them.0

Feel free to add me, I have already lost 100+ lbs, but I have that much ahead of me to go. My food journal is open to anyone if you want to take a look. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/DataSeven
Robanks, don't worry about week-to-week gains/losses, with 100 lbs you're looking at a year at least, if you want to do it healthily and not gain it all back, or get stuck with waddles of extra skin from losing too fast. Sometimes I'm up for a week, but then it comes off again. Don't get discouraged and quit if you gain for the week! If you stick with it, you can do it! I know it's cliche, but if I can do it, anyone can!0 -

I'd love some more support.0 -

I refuse to get married at this size! I have to do this. I've "attempted" loosing before but every time, after a month of no change I give up.

Don't focus on the scale. Focus on your intake. Use the app and record everything that you are eating. Don't kid yourself by not putting something down. then make better choices to keep inside your calorie goal. It takes 3000 calories to add or subtract one pound.
Don't set a goal of losing a bunch early. My first goals were simply to not gain more and to get used to recording things. So I set the app for maintaining the same weight at first. Then after a month I changed the goal to lose a pound a week. Then after 6 months I set the goal to lose 1.5 pounds per week.
All I have to lose is 1 pound. I just have to do that 200 times. So far I've lost that 1 pound 72 times as of this morning. I've also missed logging in my food the day I ate it (usually within a hour of eating and sometimes before( maybe 8 times in the last 13 months and then I got it logged the next day 4 days - the other 4 I was on a canoe trip and really couldn't.
You can do it. If you mess up a day - so what. Make the right choices the next day. Make the right choices the next meal. I can't cope with eating right the rest of my life - but I don't have to. All I have to do is to eat right for my next meal.allenpriest wrote: »jgrubb2011 wrote: »I've got lots too loose (100++) and not much encouragement.

I have 150 pounds to lose and would love some buddies along this journey. I have such a long road to go that it feels overwhelming.
Don't focus on the whole thing. Focus on losing the first 5 pounds - or the first 2 pounds.

I'm losing 1 pound - and repeating it 200 times. 76 successful repetitions so far0 -

Hello! How is everyone doing today?
I went walking in the rain!...Almost...I so wanted to go home and blame it on the rain, but hubby text me saying that it isn't bad and I could get an hour in, so I did. It actually stopped raining by the time I got to the lake where I walk. I would've missed a walking day for nothing.
Anyone juice? I am thinking about it, wanted to get some advice. It's a huge investment!
