Looking for friends with a high amount of weight to lose

Hi all, I'm Dani. I have about (minimum) 60 lbs to lose and I'm looking for friends with similar goals to help me stay on track and accountable. Bonus if anyone has open diaries so I can get some food tips. This is my 3rd time back here, each time I lose 20-30 lbs but gain it all back then some. It is serious now as my Dr just put me on blood pressure meds and is referring me to a weight loss clinic. I'd really like to try to get the weight off on my own vs surgery

Any tips are appreciated! Thanks

I have at least 50 lbs to lose myself. I was in such a great path in 2013 I had lost 42lbs and was 5lbs from cracking the 200's. I had an injury that didn't allow me work out like I used to and I gained it back then some then I finally lost weight for my wedding in 2015 came within 11lbs to crack the 200's then I lost the baby and went into a major depression not just me but my husband as well and now I'm at 250. So add me if you'd like I have a ways to go.

I love this thread. It's good to know that I am not the only who is looking to lose a big number. I want to lose 40-50 lbs.

I know we can all do this and reach our goals, with of course the help of each other.

Howdy! Let's all work together to achieve our goals!

I'm about 215lbs now, and trying to get down to 160. It seems like such a far way away

. But hopefully I can make it work! My diary is open to everyone, and feel free to add me as a friend!

I have been on and off here for a few years now, after losing 30 lbs on Weight Watchers back in 2012. I have a good 60+ to lose as well. I keep an open diary and love the support and accountability! Feel free to add me!

I first used this plan 3 years ago, not to lose weight, but to keep from gaining on a month-long, 8000 mile, vacation our family took. Looking back at those records, I did lose about 10 pounds...not so much from the tracking, as from the type of meals I was eating and the amount of walking we did.
Since then, I have had major life changes, some good, some not-so-good, and am 30 lbs heavier. And I have actually lost about 10 lbs since February, but that was more because for about 4 months I wasn't eating but 1 real meal a day, and a high-protein bar if I was hungry, which wasn't often. I was tired, and slept a lot.
So I am recovered enough now I need to get serious about getting this weight off. Unfortunately I have an aversion to anyone telling me what I can or cannot eat (reaction to prior times trying to diet), so since I do know what is healthy eating and what is not, I'm just going to try tracking for a bit, and see if that forces me to choose more wisely.
I would love to get back to what I was in college (that would be 150 lbs lighter), but will settle for increments of 20 lbs. I have a whole nother wardrobe 20 lbs down, and another wardrobe 20 lbs below that, etc. If I liked to cook, this might work better, but I don't, especially when it's just me, so we'll see.
At least I have the leg muscles to really move if I could lose the weight, lol; they're used to carrying this weight.
I have a husband that travels with his job, and kids in college, so for the first time in my entire life, I have no reason to get up, and stay up, in the morning (except for walking the dog)...a very strange feeling.
I am tired of my "I should"s, but am afraid I'll get complacent again after a couple of weeks. Self-motivation to do something long-term that is as emotionally charged as losing weight is not my strong suit, so any encouragement would be welcome.
