in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone out there, this is a shout to anyone in the same position as me and has over 100lbs to lose, Ive lost 26lbs so far and eventually want to lose another 100... its a bloody long way to go but im here and commited.. just wondered if there was anyone else out there with a goal out there as big as mine. Would love to chat to people with such big goals, Ive got some great friends on here already who are very supportive, but having someone who has the same goal as me would be great to inspire me and for me to inspire in turn :)

Thanks guys! xx

    You sound just like me. As of today I've lost 27 pounds and I have 100 more to go. I've found that being accountable seems to be helping me a lot.

    Hey Hotpot, I saw your post on my feed. I'm with you too, just about 170 pounds to lose. put 96 as the goal cause that will get me down to an even 300. But once I get there I will be shooting for another 60 or so. Probably more, not counting muscle gain.

    Anyhow, I'm with you for the longhaul girl. We'll stick through this together.

    Hello everyone. I have about 150lbs to lose. I am currently at 300lbs, and I have already lost 25lbs. Losing weight is extremely hard to do. I had never seriously dieted before. I've always ate whatever I wanted, and that's why I am in this situation. I have discovered that I have huge self-control issues with food.

    Where does everyone live? I am in the US and live in Tennessee.

    I am 34 yrs old, married, and recently was diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes. This is the reason I am needing to lose the weight. I want to live a long happy life with my husband.:wink:

    Does anyone have any helpful tips? I am a meat eater and I don't like vegetables :sick: except cucumbers and green beans (I also eat potatoes and corn but some argue that they are not true veggies).

    HI all on Feb 20,2007 I was over 500 lbs! I'm 6 foot 8 inch tall. By July 2008 i was at 280!! ( I did this by not eating and walking 3-4 miles a day) But I did not do it the right was and I have now put 100lbs back on. I was told about myfitesspal and i have to say it works. 45 days in to it i have lost 30lbs. If i can help anybody out ther let me know.

    I'm pretty much a newbie, but definitely have over 100 lbs to lose. It's scary at this point because it seems so unrealistic. I can't even imagine myself losing all that weight. It seems like a fairy tale, like really meeting Santa (sorry if anyone still believes in Santa).

    I have about a 100 to lose too... but I'm trying not to think about that much because it's hard to wrap my head around losing that much weight. I'm breaking it into smaller goals and just focusing on losing the first 20lbs for now. =)

    Hi Hot Pot,
    I have almost 100 lbs to lose and before I joined today, I felt so overwhelmed. Don't get me wrong- its still such a big goal, but just reading your post and others' too I am feeling like at least I'm not alone.
    Thanks and I'm here for the long haul and believe me, could use some friendly faces to help me with this journey, as long as I would be delighted to help others on theirs too.
