    Hi! When I started losing weigh because I saw 300 on the scale. When I started tracking on MFP I weighed 299.8 (just a couple weeks ago). I would like to lose 150 pounds total. Feel free to add me!

    I don't have 100 lbs to lose but I did. I started this journey 2 years ago and I had lost 115 lbs. I gained about 12 back over the holidays (and menopause that I am really really struggling with). I have got 5 of that back off and am back on track now. Anyone can add me as a friend that would like to. I don't have all the answers...no one does because we are all so different in what made us gain the weight and also what will help us take it off. But I will help anyone in any way I can. I will say it is easier if you can get a partner to help you...my daughter joined with me and that was just such a motivator! And also look at it as a lifetime change...not a diet. I really really believe if you are looking at it as another diet you will fail. Because it is just to easy to go back to old habits...that is exactly what happened to me during the holidays. I still logged but thought "it's the holidays I can splurge a little" and the splurging kept going to long. Anyway, best of luck...this is a GREAT site!

    Everyone can feel free to add me as well! I have noticed I do a lot better with the more support I have. For instance this week alone I have lost just above 3lbs. Last two weeks before that I lost none. The difference is the encouraging words and tips that people give. I am good at encouraging and hopefully some of you can encourage me as well.

    Add me too please. I'm at 352. I don't know exactly what it was when I started a couple of weeks ago because I didn't have a scale.

    I was over 300 lbs... I chose to have lap band surgery a little over 2 1/2 yrs ago.. I have lost 100 lbs but I want to lose at least another 60-75 lbs... for some reason, this year I am so much more motivated then I have been in a long time to really get in the habit of working out regularly and really tracking my food.... You can do this. I started at 358 lbs two weeks before I had my surgery in May 2009. SInce joining the gym I am working out 3 to 4 times a week and really enjoying it.. I am at the gym 2-3 times a week plus I do a boot camp weekly with a friend that is a trainer, and I also work out with a trainer at the gym once a month... I find that I am able to really push myself with my workouts and I love it... I bought a heart rate monitor watch that I can track if I am in the zone for the best/most fat/calorie burning and I get an accurate accounting of how many calories I am burning during my work out... you can do this!! Good luck...

    Best of luck to everyone! At my heaviest I was knocking right at 300 and I have to lose over 100. I have been on MFP a little less than a month and I am loving it. Anyone can add me and we can support each other.

    feel free to add me. I have been on this site for 3 weeks, and although my initial goal is 80+ pound weight loss, I do have over 100 to lose.

    One day I'd like to be half the person I am today!

    I'm 303lb and my ideal weight for a healthy BMI is 145lb so I have a fair way to go! I've only been here a few days so still finding my feet.

    If anyone would like to join me along the way, feel free to add me as a friend :)
