While I know we're all on the path the being healthier and happier selves, I also realize that those of us facing 100lbs+ loss challenges face particular difficulties so I would like to make "friends" with people like me who have over 100lbs to lose. There must be a few of us out there right?

I'm Julie, happily married mom to 2 girls, started this journey at 330.2lbs and currently at 316.6. Hoping to one day see myself between 150-175lbs.

Hope to hear from you :)

    I started this at 366lbs and right now I'm probably around 320.

    At my heaviest I was 384. I started MFP in Sept at 370. I am now around 350. My goal is 170.

    We can do this.

    I started at 280 in Feb (22nd) of this year. Am now at 195. My tentative goal is 150 but really I'm going to play that by ear depending on how I look and feel as I continue to go down. I want a realistic goal that I can maintain without driving myself crazy but where I am comfortable and healthy. I definitely started this journey for health more than looks...although I will admit the looks and buying smaller clothing is a plus:bigsmile:

    Hi Julie;

    I'm Nancy and it is nice to meet you! I too have 100+ lbs to lose and have been struggling with it since I was 16 and gave birth to my daughter...and now I am close to 50...lol....and my goal is to lose at least half by that milestone birthday in May. I have found this site to be helpful in tracking calories because a person never thinks they eat as much as they do!!

    I started at 285 then hit 240. I gained 13 lbs back but am now back to 240. Joined MFP just a few days ago. We can do it. One day at a time.

    Good Luck

    Im a big loser :). I have just under 100lbs now to the ultimate goal. I find reading the success stories to be really motivational. I find this site very helpful for me and hope it helps you too Julie! Welcome!

    Hello !!


    Wow to both of you, fantastically well done!!

    I had 99lb to lose but I've broken it down into smaller chunks to make it less daunting, i'm a quarter of the way there in 10 weeks and can now start to think of the bigger number. You will get there, just remember baby steps add up.
