    I have adopted a mindset that tells me that “I am too old” to be in shape. I know that this is self-defeating. My goal is to go from 286 to 205. I’m 42-years-old next month. Thank you for your insights and motivation. Will check in daily...

    Well put that mindset away. You are not too old and there are lots of people on the forums who are much older and are losing, or maintaining a healthy weight after losing 100 pounds.

    We can do this. We just need to stay focussed. I am reading lots of different threads for motivation. One of my favorites is the NSV thread. The people are so focussed and it's interesting to read how they are coping with their new bodies.

    Anyone still checking in on this thread? Its 105 days for me, and 32 pounds down. I just reread my earlier post and realize that I still need to work on the same behaviours. Being mindful of the quantity I eat, and chewing my food slowly and thoroughly. The last few weeks I have started to hurry again. When I slow down my eating process, I can feel myself getting full and can stop before I am finished all my food. If I eat at what was my normal pace, I am finished the whole plate before my mind has even registered I am eating. And then I tend to overeat. So eating slowly, chewing each bite, and quantity control are my goals. How is everyone else doing and what have you found successful to help you on this journey?

    I definitely could use some supportive friends. Everyone feel free to add me. I’m needing to lose 100+ pounds. I’m new to this app and just started this lifestyle change.

    I have 126 lbs to lose to get to my goal weight. I was on a great healthy path until diagnosed with breast cancer. Between the chemo, steroids, radiation, and tomoxifen I hit my worst weight ever!!! I was feeling super discouraged until reading through all of these posts in this discussion thread. Now I am looking toward a new and improved me! I did a lot of self reflection and empowered myself by purchasing a weight scale, a food scale, a tape measure and if anyone in my family wants to spend time with me it’s by being out on the hiking trails with me!! Here’s to being determined to get this weight off !!!!

    I was just cruising this thread, looking for some potential friend adds. But when I looked at the latest logins of some of these folks, they were from January! That makes me sad. I'm Shelly and I'm looking for some motivation help. Please add me and let me support you, too!

    This has been a hard battle for me in and out of trying to lose weight. So far sense the beginning of the year I have lost a total of 22pounds. It’s not been a easy battle but it’s coming along slowly. Right now I’m at 318 my goal is to be at 250 but honestly if I made it to 218 I would be a lot closer to my proper BMI. I know it takes time to put it on so it takes longer to work it off. Just taking it one step at a time. Happy to have this app to help me track and keep my support going.

    I am trying to lose around 100 lbs too. I'm down about 50 lbs from my heaviest, so I know I can lose the weight, I just need to get into healthier habits, and make healthy lifestyle choices. We can all do this!

    Anyone looking for a friend is welcome to add me, the more motivators the better. :)

    Hey! I started 2019 with about 100lbs to lose. I'm 5'7" and was 260. I've been working since about mid Feb and am at 237 now and I could really use some motivation! April has been a rough month for some reason.

    Hi I’m Jennifer. I also have 100 + pounds to lose. I got really serious at the beginning of the year- I have lost 45 pounds since then. I have been logging EVERYthing on MFP. I would love to have friends to go in this journey with! I just turned 52 and I need to get my weight under control before it’s too late. I need to start adding some exercise too. I’m realizing this is going to be a lifelong journey- not a diet that will have an end. I did lose 80 pounds about 12 years ago- but I gained it all back and a lot more to go with it. 😢. I don’t want that to happen again. We can do this!!

    I celebrated 4 weeks of healthy eating today. Didn't weigh myself when I started but did yesterday. I am 71 and have to get some weight off. I will weigh again in a month. My goal is to lose 2 pounds a week. I know I will never be thin but I do want to be healthier!
