    I'm in the same boat as you. I need to lose at least 100 lbs. I have been at it for a little over a month now watching calories and recently started exercising. I am down 9 lbs but plenty more to go. Good luck!!!

    Hi all! I'm in the southern USA. Over a few years I have made small changes that has helped me transition to where I am now. Gave up sodas a few years ago, tackled portion control which then forced me to choose foods higher in nutritional value. A big change occurred in recent months to a vegan lifestyle requested by my doctor...I feel amazing! Through the course of all of these new choices I have lost about 30 lbs give or take a few. I am now at the point that I need to set a weight loss goal and start exercising (I actually feel like doing it now!). I have chosen 1lb a week. I know it's not set in stone but to average this is my goal. I have planned a 5k prep challenge as a form of disciplined exercise and walking with my pets as my mind clearing activity. It's hard to determine a final weight because of all the excess fat and skin. I am setting a goal of 130 lb change but know it could be a different number as I get closer. I would be glad if you chose to be my buddy by replying. I am glad this group exists and offer encouragement and celebration to each and everyone that runs this marathon along with me.

    Hi everyone, I am a Canadian living in the Greater Vancouver area and am working to get rid of 100 pounds as my initial goal. I've been using this app for over six months but feel like it has finally become a habit for me only in the last two months so I'm looking forward to seeing more progress as I hold myself accountable for daily decisions regarding food and exercise. I can relate to so many of your stories and would love to be a friend to anyone who wants to add me.

    Hey everyone! Definitely over 100 lbs to lose; and finally feeling motivated to stick with it. There have been SO many false starts over the years. This time around, I'm not focused on the calories every day, I'm not focused on fat, I'm mainly focused on trying to plan to eat, and incorporate way more protein than I used to, and making sure that overall my calories even out over the course of the week. I'm not worried about giving up all my favourite foods, but looking at how I can plan around them. I want this change to last for life. I've dedicated July to the gym - so I've been working out 4x a week minimum, sometimes 5-6 days. 1 hour at a time, cardio two days and strength on the other 2! I'm rooting for all of you :)

    What an inspiration you all are, I will pray that all of you find the strength to continue, and the encouragement needed to be successful in your journey. It is my hope we all stay in contact and hold each other accountable!. Lets post our victories!!! and lets post our struggles. Ill start this, victory...started 440lbs, only a few weeks back, now im at 417.5. Struggles for me, my work is very physical as far as lifting is concerned..I still do not have alot of energy left when I get home to spend outdoor time with the family. So my struggle is feeling guilty of shortchanging my family.
    God Bless,

    Tony

    Hello all. Over 200 is what I WILL lose. Body has been neglected for years and spent some time in the ER last night where I sort of had me "wake up" call sounded by medical professionals.

    I need this group! I have tried for years to start down the path toward 100 pound weight loss. This summer, I started again and have added exercise, cut back on sugar, logged in and stayed within calorie goals 95 percent of the time, and yet the weight is not coming off. I need help to not give up. Anyone can friend me, need all the support I can get!
