    I am a 200+ (248lbs to be exact) trying to lose 90-100lbs and I just wanted to share a few things...

    1) Always track your food. I stopped tracking thinking I was ok and I GAINED back 10lbs! Now I track Mon-Fri and it helps so much. I put my food in every morning and try to leave 400 cals for dinner. If, when I track my food, I see that I am over my cals, I eliminate something (and don't cheat and eat it :) )

    2) Like Mercenary said..It is nice to hear from people who have lost over 100. They can share good and bad.

    3) Just because an exercise is popular doesn't mean it is right for you. I hurt myself doing P90X, but Jillian's 30 day shred and walking the track at my high school work much better FOR ME...do what works for YOU. Have fun with exercise. If you don't make loosing weight fun, you won't stick to it. I live in San Diego, CA and I try walking at the beach, I do the Cabrillo Monument hike (3.2k), I walk from Seaport Village to the airport and back. Find something you like to do so that it doesn't make the exercise feel forced.

    4) If you cheat one day don't keep kicking yourself. Acknowledge it and move on. Tomorrow is a new day :)

    5) Find different ways to eat what you like. I LOVE key lime pie but I can't afford to waste the cals on the pie. My solution is to crush a square of graham crackers into a bowl and top it with a low-fat key lime yogurt (like Yoplait). I think it works out to 150 cals. I still get the taste with out the cals!

    I hope I helped and didn't sound preachy :) Believe me when I say that I use all of this stuff myself BECAUSE I was tired of listening to people preach to me on how to lose weight! New friends are always welcome :)

    You may add me as well. In 2008 I started out at 281 and got down 203 pounds. I was injured and gained some back but still have a few pounds to lose. My goal is 170 pounds - I am 5'11 - female.
    I work out 6 days a week for 1-2 hours a day burning around 500-700 calories a day.

    I saw this post...and I also would suggest looking for women who use to be 200+ and lost...so you can get tips...

    I see some people on this site who really aren't doing anything but logging their bad habits..Diversity can't hurt your friends list



    This is a really good suggestion!

    Hey folks!! Feel free to add me! I started at 340lbs and now I'm down to 287 with a goal of 160 (another 127 to go) and would love some more friends in the same situation. We can kick this weight in the booty if we stick together! =)

    I started at 210lbs in Dec, lost 14.2 lbs (195.8), this morning weight scale shows 200lbs....for the last month or two i've been losing and gaining the same 4 or 5 lbs and i'm getting sick of it. i'm starting to fall into my bad habits of soda and eating out at lunch and not meal planning. Anyone please feel free to add me. I love to exercise, just started crossfit last week along with my zumba, yoga, soccer. it's the food that's i can't control.
