    You can so definitely do it! I have about that much to lose and even though it might take me a while I WILL do it. Especially with this site. The people on here are so supportive and the food and exercise trackers are extremely helpful. Just keep a positive attitude and do your best and that's all you can do! Good luck!!

    Welcome to MFP!

    Of course you can do it... if you really want to! :-)

    As a little help from my part:
    if you're online every day, just log in your food for a week or 2. That just gives you an overview of what you actually are eating and how much you are burning while working out.
    Then, from that overview, slowly start changing things one by one. Don't try to do all at once, you might not stick with it.
    As an example: if you're consuming 3000 calories per day right now, don't try to reduce them to 1200 at once, rather reduce them by 500 for one week, then another 500 for another week. That way your body (and mind) can adjust to the changings.
    Or, instead of eating white bread, try out some whole wheat bread (or pasta or rice...). Reduce soda consumption by 1 unit per week, and so on.

    Most of all: be aware that you'll need quite a lot of time to get those 130 lbs down. You'll have a lot of down moments, but with a little help and support from MFP buddies you'll get over these :-)

    Sorry if you didn't want all that advice. I hope it helped anyway.

    Good luck, and lots of courage!!!

    Of course you can! Don't focus on the 130lbs to go but definitely celebrate the pounds lost along the way. Make the journey as pleasant as possible and take time to enjoy the changes. Good luck to you!
