    Hello all! I as well need to lose 100+. I'm currently at the heaviest I've ever been. A lot needs to change badly and now! My husband and I are on this weight lose journey together but not together. He is going all protein and I'm doing more veggies, fruits, and just all around well balanced. We've been through a tough spot of moving and jobs falling through. Recently God has blessed us with a great job for my husband and we can now afford the foods we need to follow our diets correctly. Through his job he also has an opportunity to work out at their facilities. I on the other hand have taken up walking and working my way up to running. We've only really been eating and working out for a week now. We don't currently have a scale, which may be a good thing lol, so I'm unsure if I've lost anything yet. My husband on the other hand has already lost 10. He is doing great and very committed. We've been over weight for far too long. It just change now. We have children to play with and wear out. My husband is a great support but I would also love to have friends as accountability partners!! Feel free to add me!! Y'all be blessed! Hope to talk soon!!

    Hello! I am trying to lose over 100lbs but, for medical reasons, I have a short term goal of 50lbs in 5 months. I am working with a dietician and she has me on 1800 calories a day. I am excited for this journey and know that I will achieve my goal. Please send me a friend request and I will gladly accept. I believe we can help each other.

    Hey Everyone!!! I am 30, 5ft 6 and trying to lose 150 lbs. I started in September of '15 but due to family issues, I got off track. I started back up 1 week ago. In total from September, I've lost 21 lbs. I could really use a support system. I am so happy to start this journey for a new lifestyle and hopefully in a year or so, I'll look on the outside the way I feel on the inside.

    Im in the same boat! Work, school, kids, home life, weight loss! Its a viscous cycle and a busy schedule but totally doable! Im 28, looking to lose 100 pounds, maybe more. Taking it one day at a time and trying to appreciate the journey for the good and the bad. Anyone can add me and my food diary is open to anyone! Having friends on here is my daily dose of motivation and holds me accountable to log everyday. So come one, come all, or dont come at all! lol Im open to any new friends and do my best to inspire everyone I can on here while being inspired by others! good to know we are all here for the same purpose! We are all beautiful, now its just time to find that inner healthy mind, body, and soul!!!!

    Hey everyone! I'm 28, 5'8", and have a lot to lose as well. I've been up and down over the years but I'm FINALLY in the right head space to make a sustainable change. When I started MPF I was already down 50 lbs from my heaviest weight but I have set another 50 lb goal for myself. Would love to have some accountability buddies so please add me as a friend and LET'S DO THIS! :)

    I am a bit older, 52 too be exact...but I don't feel like an old-timer. I am here since 3 days on my journey to better health and lower weight. I wish we all could be friends and support each other....all of you sound so motivated. I wish us strengths and a good sense of humor. Everything is easier with laughter, even being fat. :-)

    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.

    Motivating ☺ Thanks for sharing.

    Hello everyone!!! Feel free to add me. I'm 31, 5'4 weighing 250lbs. I started this journey back in August 2013 weighing 250lbs! I was very committed and by March 2014 I was weighing 185! Then I found out I was expecting with my first son who was born in Nov 2014. I had gain 70lbs during the pregnancy. Then after recovering from my c-section I decided to get back to it again in March 2015 weighing 245. Then in April I found out I was expecting again with my second son who was born in Dec 2015. Now I'm back again weighing 250 and my goal is to loose 100 lbs! And I'm having a very hard time balancing everything out with 2 little ones, hubby, responsibilities, trying to get motivated to workout again (since I feel exhausted all the time!) So I need new friends and motivation

    Good morning!! I am turning 45 in June and have 112 lbs to lose to get to my goal weight. I started my change of lifestyle on 1/27/16. Its been slow since I got very sick twice in a matter of a 6 week period. However last month was very eye-opening when I realized how high my cholesterol and glucose levels are. Yup! Diabetes! :s I decided then that I would not be another statistic in my train wreck of genetics. Its time to stop the madness! I will welcome friends to keep me motivated. Thank you for starting this thread.
