Does anyone have 100 pounds to lose? I'm 40 years old, a wife, mother of 2 boys ages 14 & 10 and I have 100 pounds to lose for me & my guys! looking for support and to help support others. I lost 40 pounds 4 years ago just to gain 80 pounds back! I'm ready to win this battle.

  • I do! Well, more like 125. I'm 43, married, and have a 17 year old daughter. I had a similar experience... lost 40 pounds then gained it all plus some back.

    I've got at least 100 too lose! Started at 397 so I put in to lose 97 in a year! Started first of January and have lost 25 as of now! So the 100 in a year sounds like a good start!
    Like most of us here I have lost and gained so many times it's hard to keep track! But this time is different,
    I'm married to my wonderful wife and have 2 sons 30, and 16! The 30yo has given us a 12yo and a 6 mo grandkids. So it's time to get healty and be around to see everyone grow up!!

    I have 100+ to lose as well! Single Mom (though both of my girls have moved out now) and have some physical limitations. Have lost 17 lbs so far in just under a month, so I'm stoked. Would love to add some friends, add me if you'd like to!

    I have 100+ to lose, I am 41 yrs old, wife, mother of two boys age 6 & 10. I work full time, plus have hockey and ball hockey swimming etc..for my boys(never enough time in the day). I have tried to lose the weight before on WW and had a little success, this is the first time I feel stronger and more motivated. I have tracked for 51 days and got up 6 x a week at 5am to work out before I go to work. Feel free to add me!
  • I have 100 to lose... 46 and single lost 97 lbs in 2013 and gained back 70lbs in last year.... surgery and divorce last year very stressful... Moved twice still trying to get back on my feet. My body hurts most the time from fibro and OA and I get really down but know MFP works plus found great support from others here! So im ready to get back on track!

    I feel like i always have 100 to lose....Sigh. i was 387 in 2007, went as low as 190 in 2010 and "somehow" (i know exactly how) I'm back around 300. I'll always be battling. As long as we keep on battling right? :)

    I have more then 100 to go but have set my sights on losing the 70 I have put on in the last 10 years. I have hit the stage where I normally sack it off and go back to my old eating habits but am gritting my teeth and ploughing on. It would be good to share recipes, hints and tips.

    Good luck everyone x

    Hey all, I want in on this thread too. I've got about 90 to lose and I really want to make sure it happens this time. I'm a 43 year old single mom of 3 teenagers and I teach 6th grade. Hard to find time for myself, but I've got to do it! Please friend me and let's support each other!

    I love snacks at night time when I'm watching tv so I started putting a serving size of cinnamon Life cereal or Kix cereal in snack bags so I can just grab them. kix cereal is great 120 calories for a cup & a half of cereal.

    I started adding my exercise back in. I did 20 minutes of the stationary bike yesterday & it felt great to get moving again. I have several health issues that I deal with but I'll manage. My plan is to be fit by 41 :wink:

    I definitely felt a little sore in my thighs the next day after using the bike, but it was a good pain :smile: I am going to start the free weights next week & some ab work. I have an elliptical but I can never do more than 5 minutes. my goal is to accomplish that elliptical. anyone else use that machine? @Ijustdecided- let's keep plugging!!

    Hello! I'm 43 and have a bit over a hundred pounds to go. I've lost and gained more times than I can count, but all the times I've lost, I was using MFP, so here I am! Though I've used this app on and off for quite a long time, I've never really explored the social aspect of it. I think it would really help me if I can make a support network of people who are actively working towards similar goals. I'd really like to make some new MFP friends...please add me! :smile:
