Hello ladies

I would like to joing your group. I, too, need to lose 150 - 200 lbs. I'm gonna do it in 50lbs increments.


Wishing you all the best on your journey.

I'd love to be a part of this group and agree... smaller can sometimes be a positive (and really a pun when you think about this website!). Anyway - I have plenty to release and have finally made it to "officially" 50 lbs gone! :happy: I'm so happy and proud of myself. But, what I realized is that for about 3 weeks I just struggled with the mental block! No one in my life understands it, because even if they have weight to lose, it's not looking at several hundred pounds! So, this would group could be great for me!

I've been asked repeatedly "what's your goal, what's your goal." I keep saying that I don't really know. Truth is... what kind of goal can you come up with when you start at such a HUGE number. I was scared to set a goal... well, let's be honest, I am still scared to set a goal. :blushing: My first "mini" goal was to get below 400 (ahhhh... I hate to even admit that). Then, it was to lose 50 pounds. I freaked out when right about 4 pounds from that goal everyone at work suddenly noticed... and my weight loss stalled to a very slow progression. Yes, I was still losing but it was frustrating how long it took to make it to that mark. I don't know what my next goal is... below 350, I guess. Seems like there are things that always have a weight limit of 350... so that might be good. Long, almost "dream" goal ... to weigh less than the amount of weight I lost. Hope to have your support in that and to help support each of you as you work towards your dreams too...

Happy Sunday! Glad to be meeting you...

I'm thinking of revising this group if I can get enough of us in it. I know there aren't many of us here who need to lose 200 or more pounds, but feel free to drop by and say hi if you're in that category. It would be nice to have some other people here who know what it's like to be faced with such overwhelming numbers. As well meaning as some of the other groups are, sometimes they just don't "get it" because they haven't lived in a body with the kind of issues that can come from being 200+ lbs overweight.
