Newbie here with 50+ pounds to lose

warddm

OMG, just returned from a wedding and I am done with being the fat relative. I look huge in the pictures. This has been a big month for my husband and I, we took a 5 night cruise to Canada two weeks ago. Just returned last night from a 4 day weekend in Dallas for the wedding. I committed at the beginning of the month to start today and here I am. I waited for the trips to be over because I knew it would be to hard to commit to a new healthy lifestyle with so much traveling in our schedules. Trips are over time to get healthy.

Looking for friends that also have a lot to lose, especially women in the 40-60 age range. I need your help and motivation as I begin this journey.

Hi. I'm 43 and have 50lbs. to lose. I'm also new here and looking for friends. I've been on my diet for two weeks. I laughed when I read your post because now that two of my relatives have had weight loss surgery, I am now the "fat" one. Let's do this!

I am 5-1 and need to lose 50 lbs also. I'm 33 but have always had weight issues. I had been using MyFitnessPro a few months ago and had lost about 20 lbs, but I had to move and it was unexpected so I had to move into my mothers house for 3 weeks until my new place was ready. I had to eat out practically every night because my mom is crazy and we couldn't use her kitchen much. Not only did my wallet take a huge hit but so did my butt! I gained all the weight I had lost, so now I'm back at it at full force! I used to weigh about 300 lbs and I lost 180lbs! I kept it off for years but just recently have bee very depressed as life changes occur. I am now about 170lbs and I need to get back to about 115lbs. I had always been the fat relative and then the not fat relative, and now I'm the fat one again. I just need to shed this extra weight so I can feel like myself again.

I as well have been counting for 2 weeks... It really hasn't been that difficult, but a support group would be wonderful. I just turned 40 in may, and im disgusted in myself. the pictures were horrible... they had a surprise party for me, and im ashamed of how I looked... I promised myself I would do this, and throw myself a 41st birthday where I can really feel like the star!! and SHINE!!
Nice to meet all of you!!!
ps.. I honestly have a good 100 pounds to lose.. that sounds just ridiculous to say!!

Responding to your post. I just turned 49 in July, and have about 35lbs left to loose. I originally had 50 lbs to loose.
I'm not perfect and honestly could be done with my weight loss by now if I would have stuck with it but life got in the way.
I'm back at it and making progress....
Feel free to add me if you'd like.

Well I'm not quite 40 but I have more than 50 lbs to lose. I no longer take pictures for that very reason. Add me it's easier to stay on track with company to help.

Sending friend request. I am 49 with about 70 pounds to lose. I just started about 10 days ago, but I can already tell that it helps to have a group of friends who can help encourage each other.

Hi I am 36, two children (5 and 2 years) and need to loose over 100+ pounds which seems like a HUGE task, I have been using my fitness pal for a week and so far loving it, its so useful. Today I went to the gym and really really struggled and my motivation went out the window. I got so over faced with with the task ahead - but one step at a time there is a health young lady inside wanting to come out - this fat girl wont keep stuffing chocolate down her throat.
