Over 100lbs to lose, anyone on the same journey?

Trying to find people in the same situation or any that have already conquered epic goals for inspiration and motivation during my long journey. Anyone in my boat?

    There are 2 amazing groups on MFP that you are free to join. They are positive communities of people who are needing to loose at least 100 pounds.

    If you look through the MFP groups you will find them:
    100+ lbs with out surgery
    Loose 100lbs in 2016

    Good luck to everyone on your journey! Let's make 2016 the year of change. =)
    (I am saying this for myself as much as for you!)

    I'm pushing 30 and tired of being overweight. Clocked in at almost 250 and was astounded. I can't live like this anymore, something has to give. Would love to have people add me as a friend, I'll do what I can to keep you on track if you'll yell at me for not checking in :smiley:

    I actually started my journey last January (2015) at 240lbs with a goal to lose 110lbs...so far, I've lost 75lbs but unfortunately, I have been holding out at that weight loss longer than I should have since me and the holidays (with all the trimmings) didn't pan out as well as I would have liked...but I eventually came to realize that even if I screw up 2 months out of the year, I got 10 more to do some damage :) So, now that the holidays are behind me, time to kick it into gear! Feel free to add me. Regardless, good luck on your journey and don't give up! I found it important to remember that you can ALWAYS compensate for a mis-step here and there...just don't throw in the towel! Well...holidays aside of course LOL

    Broke 300 for the first time in my life over Christmas. Started at 305. I'm now at 292. I should be 180 for my height so I've got 110 lbs to go. The support on MFP is out of this world!

    I have lost 31 lbs from starting out at 263 lbs. I still have 53 lbs to go, but I shall get there. Feel free to add me anyone. My journal is public so you can see what my meals are. And they are awesome. It feels really great to prepare the food, eat it, and know I am eating clean. It makes me feel like a super hero.

    Everyone sounds so motivated! I am blown away by some of the success stories here! And I agree Ann, what you feed your body is incredibly important. Back in my lighter crossfitting days years ago we did something called the Whole 30. It wasn't really a diet, more of a lifechanging opener on how addicted our bodies are to sugar, and how much sugar is in EVERYTHING, even down to meats. Back then the organic food craze wasn't popular either so finding no sugar added, not even less than 2%, was an incredible challenge. However; that program changed my relationship and awareness of food for the rest of my life. The problem is having the will power to "just say no" to a slice of pizza, and getting up and moving more, even when I am tired from working and then doing my mom/wife "duties". I also want to get one of those Garmin or Fitbit watches so I am AWARE of my lack of movement and at least do an extra lap every time I go to the printer at the office! I wish everyone the best of luck in this difficult but absolutely achievable goal, you are worth it!
