elisapesi

Hello everyone!

So I found this website from someone I just recently subscribed to on YouTUBE and I love it already. Don't know if I can say her name on here, but anyways... I have to lose waaaay more than 100 pounds. It's hella embarrassing, but I'm sure I can't be the only one that feels this way. Please tell me I'm not the only one... lol.

Right now, I'm tryin to get familiar with all of this and just want to THANK YOU myfitnesspal.com people for giving us FREE tools to use to help me and everyone else on here lose this weight.

Good luck to me and all of ya'll!

You're not the first person to want to lose over 100 lbs. I'd recommend going to the success stories part of the forums. There are lots of people who have lost way more than 100!

Good Luck with your journey!!

Welcome! There are many people here with substantial weight loss goals. The success stories are great encouragement and really help show that there is no one road to successful weight loss. Some people lose it quickly, others much more slowly, some fall off the wagon and get back on, etc. I am one of those slow losers and the site really helps keep me going even when I feel as if there has been no progress.

It is great encouragement to see people who have lost 100, 150, 200 pounds and how dramatically their lives have changed.

you are definately not the only that felt that way when they started but my wife and I did too. However 10 months later and we are near where we want to be. You can do it, just stay determined and motivated.

WELCOME!!! Definitely you are not alone! Don't be afraid of just jumping in here and requesting to be friends. That will be your success. The more friends you have, the greater your success, because this site is packed full of non-judgmental pals who will motivate, encourage and pump you so full of energy! Best of luck to you and don't hesitate friending me.

There are lots of us here with more than 100 lbs to lose. When I joined, I needed to lose 135. Now I'm down 57 lbs and feeling so much better. Take it one day at a time.

lor007

Welllllllcome to MFP.

Gigi_licious

Welcome! I have around 100-130 to lose (aiming for 100 first then I'll decide if I want to lose more once I get there) I knew I needed to lose weight, after I had already been on here about a month or two, the girlie doc looked me in the eyes and said "You need to lose around 100lbs".........while I was still half naked on the table right after he violated me! Now THAT'S embarassing. You are definitely not the only one. You can do this!

Good for you for taking a huge first step. I joined MFP in March but was already committed to exercise and needed guidance on food. This site has been amazing, especially the support system, so it can help you too! I've lost just over 60 lbs this year, and in reality, to be considered a healthy weight for my height, I should lose another 75 lbs, so I understand what you're facing! In reality, I'd be comfortable with 50 more, so around 110 total.

Feel free to add me and BEST OF LUCK (it's not really luck but perserverence :bigsmile: !)

Tangerine302

I agree, it's fun to go to the success stories section. So much dedication there! More than 100 isn't uncommon, just another number. Good luck to you!

Hello Elisapesi, I want to first say welcome. Never been embarrassed about how much you want to lose. You are not your body or weight. You are human. Love your body.

I love motivating and encourage people. If you want me as your cheerleader, I'm here.

HannahMarieMcDougald

I have a lot to loose her which is a good thing! I am looking for weight loss buddies...Add me please..I need encouragement...Wish me good luck...

jakejacobsen

I had over 100 to lose and now happy to say I have less then a 100 to lose. DON'T be embarrassed, you can be embarrassed for all those who are not trying or quit trying to lose the weight. Nothing wrong with getting started then you will be like me and be proud that you have a little less then 100 to lose. Get ready Get Set and Be excited because when you lose your first 20 pounds you will feel great, then 50 will come and you will feel fantastic. At 50 pounds I am going to go to the gym and carry around 2 25 pound weights with me and work out with them, walking on the treadmill and see how bad I used to feel. I can't wait should happen next week.

Best of luck,

Jake

You can do it just knock it into smaller chunks of weight and it won't be so over whelming enjoy your journey.

Hello Pesi, i'm in the same boat as you! Started 3 weeks ago...love this site/phone app. So easy to use. Good luck and
remember...excercise, exercise, exercise! Even little walks...will help tremendously!

tbrp

There are lots of folks here in the same situation. Just work on it a little at a time. I have been using the site for 6 weeks and have lost 17 pounds so far. I think the most important things are tracking your food, and I do mean everything, and I also think being involved in the community boards and the support you can get and give there helps too. Set your first goal... make it something not too far... maybe 10 or 20 pounds... then when you reach that set another. You can do this... one step at a time! If you need a friend, feel free to add me.

Welcome! I just wanted to say that it can be done. Stick to it and keep getting up. You'll get there!

pholbert

To the new people you just took a very important step to accomplish your goal. Look around the site there is lots of information and good tips. You can do this. My best advice is to work the diaries. It will be easier than you think if you get serious about it. Wishing everyone the best on your journey here.
