    So I have not looked on the community board for a number of days! I can not believe how many of us are on this journey. I have scrolled through the time line and sent numerous friend request. I really do believe that we can / do and will continue to support each other as we each move towards our goals. I am so grateful for the support that I have received and the fact that you help me take accountability is wonderful.

    I will not leave it so long before I check back in. I will keep sending the friend request but if you are new to the page then just add me - user M1VHA.

    Thanks once again!!!

    You can ALL do it!! I have lost half of my body weight in about 18 months - down to 160 from a start of 320 - and, believe me, if I can do it at my age then so can you youngsters! I still have my demons (cheese, bread, chocolate) but I have learned that if a few pounds go on then they will come off again when I get back on track. I still log everything that goes in my mouth and for me, that has been the most useful thing. I rewarded myself along the way by buying some new clothes from e bay each time I lost 10lbs (and sold the bigger clothes). Good luck to you all. Just remember, if you don't want to be the same next year, then you need to make a change now....

    Hi all! I am a little late to this party, but I am 22, 5'3" and looking to lose 100+ lbs! I have been using MFP for a few weeks and have been going it alone. I would love to make some friends with similar goals, and have a support group :) I am going to send some friend requests, I hope that is okay with everyone!

    I know 100+ pounds can seem daunting but it is doable. Take my word for it. I started out over 450 but I didn'r have a scale that went that high. I am currently at 277 and I know how hard it is to stay on track. I have had many slips along the way and I know I will have many more. I am not perfect but all I can do is the best I can do and start every day with a renewed positive attitude. My next goal is to get under 250. My biggest problem is wanting to lose to much to fast and getting discouraged at the slow progress, But I know If I keep positive keep plugging away some day I will get to my goal weight and it does not matter how long it takes. Best wishes to you on your journey to beter health and happiness.

    Hi everybody. I'm 5'4," turning 29 next weekend and I have about 120lbs to lose. I've lost significant weight in the past but I gained it all back and more. This time I'm planning on making it a permanent life change but I could use a few friends to help keep me motivated, especially when I have an off day.

    JReed2205, I bought a fitbit and just started trying to walk and do 6,000 steps in a day, then after it was able to reach that with no problems I would add on more steps for a new goal. I am now finally reaching 10,000 steps a day but it was something I had to work towards, maybe try walking and work your way from there!

    OK... I'm a guy... and old fart to be exact.. 55 heading on to 56 soon.... i started the day after xmas .. so far i have lost 51 lbs... just over 60 left to go... this is not easy.. but it is doable... you can do it... patience and perseverance .. do not look at the total... look at 1 pound... look to lose 1 pound... just 1... once you lose that pound look to lose another and so on and so on... it is very easy to become discouraged by looking at the total..its 1 pound at a time one day at a time, one week at a time... sometimes its one meal at a time... there is no luck involved.. it is a pretty simple process... calories in vs. calories... you must burn more calories than you take in..log your food.. weigh you food... every single bite... you do not have to give up everything you love to eat, just cut down on the amount and you need to get up and move your @*kitten* .. doesn't matter what you do, as long as you do more than the day before, the week before and keep adding to it.. i picked up a fitbit and it is truly the best motivational tool i could ask for.. i add more steps each day, each week.. i could barely make the recommended 10 k per day.. now i'm doing over 15 k .. you do what you can.. push yourself.. no excuses..there are no cheat days, you are not giving up the food you love.just cutting back the amount and how often you eat them... stay within your calories and do not eat back calories from exercise...if you need motivation .... look in the mirror... look at your kids your husband, your siginficant other.. hell your dog or cat... whatever it takes to stay motivated and moving in the right direction...this is your life we are talking about.. i plan on sticking around to see some grandkids...If this old man can do it so can every single one of you...ok.. getting off my soap box and heading back to the guys section.

    Really upset with myself for getting to the point where I have to say 'I need to lose 100ish lbs.' 4 years ago I lost 60 on here, was running 5ks and doing mud runs. Fast forward a few years and being this fat is uncomfortable. I want to climb stairs and not feel like I am having to pull myself up them. I want to sit comfortably in my airplane seat. I want to be proud of myself when I look in the mirror. I would love friends that want to encourage, support, and hold each other accountable. Let's do this together!
