need to lose 225!!!

Hi, I have been on MFP before, and sadly I let life get in the way, now I'm back and ready to start anew. To tell you a little about myself, I am 31, and weigh over 400lbs!!!! I need "friends" that will help encourage me! People that KNOW what its like to be VERY over weight I need friends that need as much help as I do, so that we can work together and create a new life for ourselves, if this sounds like you, hit me up, I want to encourage you as well!!!

    I just started back today myself with MFP. Life got busy and I wasn't able to keep up. I have about 75 to 100 pounds to lose. Good luck on your journey! I will be pulling for you :-)

    PS, I was at 354 and need to be 145 so I know how you feel..... I got down to 235 and then gained 30+ pounds back. I am back on and have lost 6 pounds so far.....86 total. Lets do this!!!!
  • I am on day 3.... Last week I weighed myself and realized that 302.9lbs were staring back at me. After picking myself up..I decided not to be upset and eat but to lose it. :) I'm here for ya too please add me. :) I am down 5.9lbs...have about 150 to go and that's just to get me out of the obese catagory!

    My journey is not the same as yours, but we are all here for you if you need it! And I agree 100% with the person above... dont look at the big picture right now... break it down to 10 or 20lbs mini goals.. Thats what I did... 10lbs at a time..I didnt look at it like I needed to loose 60lbs, but that I needed to get below 200, then 190 now is 180...

    Good luck! We are all rooting for you!
