    Hey Alicia - welcome to MFP. There are lots of people here working to lose more than 100 lbs. and you will definately find the support you seek. I am starting with a goal of 60 lbs. You should check out the "Over 200lbs." thread - it's a great open group and THE Team in "support and motivation" is an open group too (I'm in that one) It's great to be a part of a team and get to know each other better and encourage each other. You can totally do this - and we are alllllll here to help!!!:drinker:

    Hello, I too have about 100 lbs to lose, new to this whole board thing!! I haven't posted much but read often! My first goal is to get under 200, 60 to go!! Then anything else will be gravy for me! I have never aspired to be 110, but healthier is my goal! so if that means 175 so be it as long as I feel good!

    I am all for it. I am 24 years old and weighing 240lb. I have 100lbs to get rid of :(. I am new to this website, but I feel with support that I can finally do it. Therefore I would love to buddy up with you to finally get this weight off.

    Yep me too. My first goal is to hit 191 and then re-evaluate how far I want to go down... but it will be over 100 lbs altogether. I just couldn't stand to write it down so I did a smaller goal first... LOL

    I just skim the 100 - I started out with 98lbs to loose, nearly half way there, but could do with all the support and motivation I can get right now

    yep, I have over 100 pounds to lose, when I reach my goal weight of 130 pounds, I will have to lose 162 pounds, but I can do it. You can do it too.

    Me too! I have to get from 370 to 190. My first goal is to break my fear of 350 not sure why but I have a mental barrier with 350. I am going to get below it and stay there this time!:drinker:

    Today was a bad day. I was doing so well the last couple days. I don't know how I talk myself into eating things I know I shouldn't, but somehow I do. I am trying to train myself to drink water instead. It worked yesterday just not today. It's ok though. I'm known to just give up if i mess up, but not this time!:ohwell: How is everyone elses day?

    It looks as if you have just started on your weight loss journey. Give yourself a bit of time and forgiveness. You are breaking some old long standing habits and replacing them with new healthy ones.

    Just know that your next meal will be a good one and that you aim to drink more and more water each day.

    I have more than 100 to lose and I take each day as it comes. There will be more good than bad!

    I am with you letterfly, I always do really well during the week, then i go home for the weekends and it always feels like i take 3 steps forward then 2 steps back. I'm hoping i will eventually be able to curb my weekend habits. I think part of it is i don't have a computer at home so i have no idea how many calories i'm consuming....for all know i could be doing great.....The point is i've still been consistently losing weight even with my slip-ups, you'll get there but don't beat yourself up in the process, you'll only make things harder for yourself!:flowerforyou:

    you may find it helpful to give your water some flavor with some lemon or grapefruit juice. Just a touch of juice to a big glass of water. Your body knows how to handle natural juices and it makes water easier to go down.

    I have over 100 lbs to lose too. I have been "plateaued" for awhile because of a knee problem, and am getting discouraged.

    Glad to find others on site who are also struggling with losing large amounts of weight.

    Count me in. When I started this past summer, I had a goal of loosing 105lbs (starting weight 225) :sick: . I had lost 11, then I fell off the wagon & gained all but 4 back :cry: . Well, I'm back on it (as of Jan 5) & I've changed my weight on here to reflect the new starting point (221). Right now I've been juggling the same 3lbs for about 2 weeks now. Getting a bit frustrated, but am continuing to work hard on my eating habits. Now, I've GOT to get motivated to exercise...that's my biggest down-fall.
    I totally agree...we're all in it together...We WILL do it!!!! Big Hugs!:smile:

    Goochi's in too!
    yes,I do have 100+ pds to lose, but honestly, my goal right now is like 5 or 10lbs. When I get back down to 229.9 then I'll be really really happy ( I was there for eons, plateaued, made goochi go crazy and goochi ate and ate and ate. And here Goochi is at 248 AGAIN. Sigh. ) Yes Goochi go basket case!!

    Hey everyone! I am getting so discouraged with this. I have done very well with my eating and exercise but the scale just will not move. This is my 2nd week. I just want to cry! :sad: What am I doing or not doing? I exercise everyday except for Sunday for 1 hour. I burn anywhere from 300-400 calories during that time. HELP!!:sad:

    I'm in too. I have a whole lot to lose and need so much help. The lowest I've ever been is 180 pounds so thats my first goal. Then from there I'll get to my happy bmi of 120.

    You're definitely not alone. I need to lose 100 pounds too. :) I wanna get to 170 pounds so i can be healthy and happy with my body! :heart:
    Maybe after I reach that goal i'll try to reach my correct BMI and lose that extra 30-40 pounds.

    I dream of loosing 100 lbs, but right now, I'd settle with a smaller goal of 25 to put me back to where I was 2 yrs ago, another 25 to get down to 200lbs. I moved to Louisiana, started a new job, and gained back all that I had lost previously and then some! I'm at the highest weight I remember. I don't like it. And as much as I don't like keeping track of my food, I know it helps me control how much I eat and to make sure I exercise daily. Thank goodness for my dog Jake. He's a great alarm clock and morning "WALK!?!" motivator.
