Basically I'm 300 lbs and my overall goal is to lose half, so 150. I'm 5'10 btw. I need as much motivation as possible and possibly tips from people have have huge weight loss goals and have been successful.

    I didn't have to lose that much, but I always liked setting smaller goals that I could celebrate each month or two. That's me though.

    If you stay consistent and log your food accurately, you'll nail this. :)

    That is my goal too. Let's work on this together. I started on 12/26. Mondays are my weigh-in days, although i won't weigh in every week. Please friend me.

    I lost before with MFP and then life happened, so I 'm back now. What worked for me was measuring, logging, pre-planning and weight-lifting. By being cnsistent, the weight just fell off. I will be doing mini-goals along the way.

    I started at 275 and got down to 185 before a relapse. I'd say weigh every day, log it once a week, count every calorie that goes into your mouth. Take a look at my profile -- I found that mini goals (every five pounds) and rewards for the mid-way points were helpful. Good luck!

    You can do this. I am heavier than you. Dont think of the whole number, set small goals. Mine is 50 to start. I've lost 20 so far. Keep positive.

    Hi. I started at 239 and am only 5'5. My goal is to get to 150-160. Having buddies that understand would be great!
