    Hi! Welcome to MFP! Many of us on here have big goals like you do. I will send you friend request so we can support each other when times get rough and we can avoid straying from our goals.

    I am in the same boat.... My first goal is 80lbs myself and then maybe more depending on how i feel at that point. Good Luck on your journey.

    MFP lets you really see what you are eating if you are religious to it, Coupled with exercise you should reach that goal faster than you think. My biggest thing I stopped eating fast food and stopped drinking anything but water..............Welcome and Good Luck!!!!

    hey there! I've been here for a couple weeks, and i love it. Everytime i feel like i want to quit (like this morning) I come here and read the amazing success stories, and get help/motivation/words of wisdoms from my MFP friends! I've been unhealthy for so long, changing is difficult. I have changed my food intake to whole, mostly home made foods...and just the change to that has made me drop 14 pounds.

    I set my exercise goals to high at the beginning which made me not want to do it, but im reorganizing my goals, starting at only a couple days a week, then will increase from there.

    I am currently around 300 and my goal is anywhere between 200 and 225. so that is just about 100 pounds total weight loss.

    Welcome, and Good Luck on your new life :)
