    I have *so many* pounds to lose. This isn't my first round on MFP, I've been lurking for 4 years and before that, I successfully lost 40-50 pounds. Which came back with interest. Lets do it!

    i have like, almost exactly 75lbs to lose! im down 53 so far and im trying to stay on point and would love a friend. no one gets it, what its like to lose so much weight and have to lose so much weight. i know its boring to people but it isnt boring to me. i feel like health is such an important journey

    I agree with you 100%! I'm definitely not saying that losing 10 or 20 pounds is hard, but it just can't compare to the long long looooooooong road to lose 10x that much. I'm adding you! :)

    P.S. And congrats on the major weight loss so far!!

    I doubt this is the first rodeo for the majority of people (unfortunately). I've also lost 40+ pounds before and then fell off that dreaded wagon and got dragged behind it picking weight up along the way. Struggling to stay ON it can be rough!

    Well I have been using MFP for a little over a week now. I have not weighed since starting but I can tell by the way my clothes fit I have lost something. Using MFP has made me aware of what I am putting in my mouth. It isn't easy but I am working on it. I also walk on the treadmill at least 5 days a week. It isn't much but I know I have to start somewhere. I would be happy with loosing 50 lbs but I have set short term goals and long term goals. Would like to loose 10 lbs by my cousins daughters wedding. Work towards 50. Then ultimately shoot for 75, but if I can make it to 50 I would be ecstatic.

    I think starting those smaller goals is a great idea. I cut all mine up in 10 pound increments and I know it makes it all feel a little less scary! :)

    Keep pushing! I went from 320 to 270. Stayed there fer a year (lack of effort) then recently down to 250. With a goal of getting to 200. What i learned is when you need to stop losing fer a bit. Go on maintenance, dont gain it back. But give it a predetermined length if a break. And just maintain till yer ready to proceed.when losing a lot. The occasional break can make it easier.

    Anyone feel free to add me. If you have tips on stopping soda and sugary drinks, I welcome your input. I've stopped cold turkey for 3 months before, but started back up again last year. Had a hysterectomy last November and put on weight. I've always done the yo yo diet. I just need to realize I'm worth it to feel better about myself and I'll get there, just need support and encouragement. Thank you
