    I have 75-100 pounds to lose. Not sure what a good goal weight for me (and my body) is since I've been overweight my whole life. It's scary to think I should weigh 135 pounds when the last time I weighed that was in 5th or 6th grade and I've been 220-270 on my adult body. So my ultimate goal will be 175, then 150, then go from there. I know it's one pound at a time but it's overwhelming at the beginning to see that huge number to lose.

    I want in! My worst weight at the peak of pregnancy was 260 (I weighed 195 prior). Since then I started MFP @ 220 lbs and have lost 13 so far. Goal #1 50lbs (170lbs), Goal #2 20lbs (150lbs).

    I would like to join! I'm about halfway through my journey to a (hopeful) 80 pound loss. It's taken me 6 months to get to this point.

    The scale is starting to move a lot slower now and since the holidays, it's been hard to get back to eating at my calorie goal. Food has ALWAYS been a comfort for me thus leading me to be overweight my entire life. I kind of let myself "cheat" for Christmas and then up until the 1st of the year and it has really brought those bad binging habits back to the surface. Just yesterday I thought I deserved a Skinny Cow ice cream bar as a nighttime snack and of course it was soooo good I figured "What the heck, I'll have another one."

    I really don't have much support in my everyday life. No one else I know struggles with the same food issues and understands how hard it is to stop once I've started.

    I hope I haven't gone on too much about myself but would really like to have a group of ladies to support and be supported by. We should add each other as friends! Is everyone new to MFP?

    Try to set smaller goals so that you won't feel so overwhelmed. Once you reach a goal, set another one. But, don't worry about the long term, as far as weight loss goes. Just learn to eat healthier and exercise regurlarly.

    It is hard but you can do it. One day at a time. Don't beat yourself up for getting off track.. just make sure to get back ON track. Feel free to add me as a friend for support.

    I have been obese most of my adult life. When I turned 51, I decided to make a committment to myself and so far (1 year), I have lost more than 55 lbs.

    You can do this!

    I'd love to join! :)

    In 2011 I lost 30 pounds, and between starting college and breaking my tailbone, I've gained back all of it and am having trouble starting again.
    I'd like to lose 50 or more!

    I was doing quite well following my healthier eating habits & exercising, but somewhere in the past few months something happened and I fell back into bad old binging habits. I too allowed myself to cheat over the holidays which made it much worse. I look at it as an addiction. I am sneaking cookies at night because I am so embarrassed to admit I have "fallen off the wagon". All I can think about is cookies, ice cream, chips and all kinds of yummy fried foods! My mouth is watering as I talk about this. I got to a point where I felt like, oh well, I have already failed, so I must go all the way. I started eating like crazy, day & night. Today, I feel horrible, absolutely disgusted not only with myself but about how bad I feel from overeating unhealthy foods. It has taken me a year to lose about 20 lbs because of my struggle with food and I do not what to gain it back. Seeing your post has motivated me to do my best to get back on track. I know sometimes we fall but we have to get back to our healthy selves quickly before it consumes us. Think of all the discipline, persistence and strength it took to accomplish your weight loss of 45 lbs in 6 months! I know you can do it. Hang in there!
