Yes it can't seem daunting, but tomorrow, next week, and next year will arrive. Just one day at a time and just watch what you can do. We are all here for you, welcome.0

Hello there! Glad you found us. If you are looking for a group to join, The Over 300 Club here on MFP is a group with many members that have substantial amounts of weight they are looking to shed.
There are lots of informed helpful people on here and much useful information in the sticky notes.0 -
Welcome to MFP! You will find the love and support that you need to embark on this life changing journey. Stick with this program and success will be yours! Remember the only way to fail is to quit!!! Just hang in there! Even on the days that it doesn't seem like it is working or the days that you just don't feel like doing it. Just keep plugging away. Set good and realistic goals and know that it won't happen overnight but it will happen. It has taken me 5 years to lose 60+ pounds but if I hadn't stuck with it I would be here today saying that I need to lose 80 or 100 pounds!
Congratulations on your decisions to be here and to be healthy!!:flowerforyou:

I know what it is like to be over 400.:brokenheart:Hello all!
My name is Sarah and I just wanted to introduce myself and see if there is anyone else that has a large amount of weight to lose so that we can connect. I have over 300 lbs to lose and it is very daunting but I'm excited about this journey.
It's amazing where everyones breaking point is and mine is definitely here. I refuse to live this way any longer and I'm hoping that I will be able to encourage others along their journey as well.
I have just begun a vegan diet and when I say diet I just mean my way of eating not "diet" in the traditional sense of the word. I think "diets" have done me more harm than good and I will never again "go on a diet".
So here we are, all of us reaching for the same goal. Let's do it!
If you keep in touch with your weightloss pals and check in on MFP at least once a week
you will find this site to be a very helpful tool .

I only have a pound and a half to lose this week. Of course I also have a pound and a half to lose next week as well. So our goals are the same. It seems the best point is when the weight loss happens without thinking about it. When the right food choices, in the correct amounts, just happen.0

Good morning to all!

Hello Sarah,
I had over 300 pounds to lose also. I now wish my WLS program would have made me lose about 100 pounds before surgery. The director of my program told me that now when he have patients over 450 pounds he asks them to lose about 50 to 100 pounds. You can do this babe.
With or without surgery it is a journey for sure. The WLS will afford you a chance to lose some of your weight very quickly. Taking the time to lose 100 is preparing you for a new healtier way of life.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need more support. MFP is a wonderful tool. It works if you work it and I like it because it is FREE also.0 -
Sarah,
I would love to be your friend and offer you whatever support I can. I have lost 96 pounds since Feb. of this year and still have another 50 to go. You are on the right site! Put it to good use and reach out whenever you need help, advice or support. I have made some great friends and I credit this webiste with much of my success.
YOU CAN DO THIS!]

Hello there
welcome - like everyone else i'm saying- this is the perfect place- you don't need to look any further- since i have found this site i have not gone anywhere else- no need to - everything is here- friends, support, tips, research, experience.. simply- everything :)and the best part- that surprised me - it's free Most other places are kind of " dead " and you have to wait for days to get a reply- not here- as soon as you post- someone is answering- i love MFP people
Here's a tip.
If i tell myself i have a 100 lbs to lose- i get overwhelmed. But if i say- i only need to lose 1 lbs and than repeat that a 100 times- somehow it sounds more menagable-
that applies to 10 lbs, 100 and even 300 - one pound at a time - it can only get better from here
wish you best of luck, stay in touch - and let's support each other 0 -
Welcome to the site, I love this place, its addictive, but it works.

Hey there!
Just wanted to say welcome! You've taken the first step... and it's a great one. This site is a lifesaver! I have been where you are, needing to lose over 300 pounds. Just remember to take it one day at a time... be patient with yourself and remember this is a lifestyle change... NOT a diet! Diets don't work!
