Over 100 lbs to lose?

Kath713

Working toward a 100 loss goal too (36 down so far!). Feel free to add!

Anniefae96

My start weight was 223lbs, my goal is 110. I'm at 205lbs right now and anyone on this thread is free to add me, in fact I would love to have as many dedicated friends as possible. I don't think I can do this alone.

Hi , I am on day 1 of my 108ilb journey . Keen to engage with others who have a similar mountain to climb. I get disheartened sometimes when the scales don’t shift, I get a bit obsessed with the number and have even been known to weigh myself after every meal. Mad I know...... I have always struggled with my weight , food has been the go to when I am sad and happy. Keen to break that link or figure out to replace it. I have prioritised work , family even the cats over my won health and that needs to change. I do feel guilty though in doing that. Anyway hope I can share some thoughts and support some of you in your journey...

i already lost 112lbs with slimming world in 1 year and a half but put 42lbs. keeping the weight off is the hardest. But finding a realistic achievable motivation is the way to losing the weight time to lose 68lbs now

Just curious...what is everyone doing for exercise?

Lately, I've been doing the following activities over 6 workouts in a typical week:

• 1 hour-long personal training session (strength focused)
• 1 hour-long cycling class
• 1 hour-long strength training class
• 20-30 minutes stairclimber, 2 times/week
• 30-45 minutes running, 2-3 times/week
• 45-60 minutes elliptical, 2-3 times/week
• 30 minutes upper body strength training, once a week
• 30 minutes lower body strength training, once a week
  

I can't recommend working with a trainer highly enough. It can be expensive (the gym is literally my second highest expense after my rent), but I've come to see it as an investment in myself and I will scrimp anywhere else I need to in order to keep my sessions. My trainer keeps me accountable, always changes things up so I don't get into a workout rut, and helps me focus on what my body can do instead of just how much it weighs.

All that said, take this with the proverbial grain of salt. This is just what is working for me at the moment and I'm in no way recommending one way or another that it will work for you. I should also note that this is not at all what I was doing when I started out with this 127 pounds ago. Back then it was literally just whatever movement I was willing to do for at least 20 minutes. This is part of why I really recommend trainers if possible - the expert advice for scaling as you go is super important in my opinion.

Hey guys!
Wonder how everyone’s journey is going.
I’m currently down 84 lbs so I’m pushing hard towards my goal. Would love to hear from some of you

AidaF430

Hey, I'm down 25, and now officially need to lose 100. Lost my mojo for a while, but I'm back on track! LOL Congrats @goldiejdb you are doing great! Almost to your goal. Hope you stay with us to continue our support group!

aeloine

When all is said and done, aiming at 120 or so to lose. Down almost 50, will take me another 2 years or so to lose the other 70, I think.

emilyvictoria7

I've got a total of ~110lbs to lose. Started at 270lbs, aiming for 160lbs or less depending on how my body looks and what strength training/recomp looks like for me.

Currently down ~60lbs sitting just under 210lbs with another ~50lbs to go. Feel free to add me

blackmantis

You can add me I have a *kitten* ton of fat to return to the universe!

lois1231

Feel free to add me. I can always use more friends. I started at 275 and now weight 264. I would like to lose around 130 to 140 pounds.

MaelynMayhem

I have 220 pounds total to lose. I've lost about ten of it so far.

ThatLadyFromMN

Anyone can feel free to add me as well, I started at 280, got down to 194, now at 212 (school and being lazy) but I am back at it now! My goal is 150... and then see how I feel there and possibly going down to 140.

Hey guys just checking in! I am down 130 lbs you guys! Really looking at the weight loss in small increments has helped tremendously & Walking + Zumba has played a huge part as well. How is everyone doing out there?! Add me if you like

I am new and looking to lose about 120 pounds. I really need some friends on here for support and accountability. Any of y’all want to add me? Thanks!

annbutler56

Please add me. I am struggling to get off the insanity cycle of self sabotage. I will do better with a group. But no time for meetings. I'm at 265 and would like to be at 150. I do like the small steps towards an attainable goal.

Stephnp

So happy to read about your success!! To echo what many people have said I really like the idea of looking at it like a series of small goals! I’ve got about 150 to lose, I’ve been watching what I eat and journaling for two weeks now and I’m down 12 lbs. I don’t notice it yet, but I try to tell myself I’m carrying around two less sacks of potatoes. Anyone who’s working to lose 100+ or has lost that much feel free to add me!

rheddmobile

New people: take before photos! My first before photo was when I was already 50 lbs down and I really wish now that I'm down 123 lbs that I had one of me at my highest weight. Track and log and just take it one day at a time, time will pass before you know it.
