    Add me. I need to lose 100+ so I can have knee replacement surgery. The knee problems severely limit the physical activity I can involve myself in , so I really, really need to watch the food intake.

    How come my ticker doesnt show like everyone elses??

    1. First, click on the Apps tab, then on the "Weight Loss Tickers" link in the "Other Tools" area to reach the section of the site where you can create your ticker.

    2. Follow the steps to create your ticker. They should (hopefully) be self-explanatory.

    I have over 100 lbs to loose also, anyone can add me. I log on everyday!
    Stay connected with a site like this will definitely help you reach your goal! I truly believe hooking up with a weight loss site & making friends with similar goals was crucial to my success so far. Logging food & participating in an online community are the 2 things I never did any other time I tried (& failed) to lose weight.

    Keep up the great work everyone!!!

    I am not ashamed to say I'm at 320 pounds...5 months out of a back surgery, and I have PCOS. With all that being said. I just did an hour of High intensity Zumba without stopping or taking shotcuts. If you need someone to encourage you then add me! I am determined to lose 145 pounds by my ten year reunion in August 2013! I was ALWAYS the fat girl. Not any more!!! I also have severe pcos and with this weight on me the chances of ever having a child is slim.

    I have walked in your shoes. Add me and let's get better shoes :)

    FR accepted!!! I've had 4 back surgeries myself...my dad joked that they should have installed a zipper back there. I'm determined to make sure that my last one 9 years ago IS my last one!

    Side note about PCOS - apologize in advance for hijacking the thread, but it might help others - has your dr recommended low-carb due to the condition? I've met others with PCOS who have had great success with it, in fact it was the ONLY thing that worked. And low doesn't have to be Atkins-low (20g), even keeping them under 150g daily could make a big difference. Just a thought.

    If I can do it, you can, too. Really. I know that probably sounds like a giant heap of horse manure, but it's true. You have to educate yourself and you have to keep tweaking what you're doing. It's a learning process. You have already done the number one most important thing you have to do to win this battle....You've started your journey. You're so far better off than all of those people sitting on their couches, stuffing their faces, living in denial.

    Add me. I'm here EVERY DAY, without fail.

    Hi! Welcome. It seems overwhelming at first, but just take it 1 pound at a time. Tomorrow will be my 300th consecutive day logging in. I really didn't think I would make it this far. I have health conditions that make the weight fall off slowly. I only lost like 2 lbs the whole summer. I thought I would just get frustrated and give up (and I thought about it, believe me). But... It's a big part of my life now. :)


    P.S. I added you! <3

    We're already pals but I will be losing >100 lbs when it's all said & done. My best advice is not to focus on the total amount you're trying to lose because it easily becomes overwhelming. What I've done is take it in 2-5 lb chunks so that it seems doable. For example, I started at 316 so my first goal was to lose 5 lbs. I did it! Then at 311, I worked on losing 2 more pounds to get into a new decade. Did that too! 3 more pounds got me to 306 (10 lbs lost!), another 5 was 15 lbs lost, then 2 more got me to a new century.

    It hasn't been a linear process, so I find that attaching dates to those goals is not motivating to me personally. Sometimes I lost 2 lbs a week, sometimes I lost 2 lbs in 3 months. But I didn't let that discourage me, because every pound lost gave me more & more confidence that I really CAN take control of my weight & improve my health.

    If you haven't already, start a regular exercise program. It doesn't matter as much what you do as how consistent you are with it. As I got stronger I naturally felt more confident about my fitness & was motivated to challenge myself with fitness goals. Over time they became even more important than my weight loss goals because they are more predictable.

    Two & a half years ago my exercise program was walking 3 times a week as far as I could before back pain forced me to turn back, & initially those were 15-minute walks. Within a week 15 turned into 20 turned into 30 turned into a gym membership turned into regular strength training with the cardio...

    ...a week & a half ago I ran my very first half-marathon straight through without walking, 86 lbs lighter. Not only that, I recovered quickly due to my dedicated training & was nearly good as new the next day. It was amazing.

    And YOU are amazing for being here, so set that next goal & SMASH IT!!!

    Bravo to you and your success! This is a wonderful story.

    I also refuse to set time lines to my goals. That hasn't worked for me and I find it terribly counter productive.

    From the start, I have about 100lbs to lose. Technically I think, 118 to lose and 20-25 lbs of muscle to gain. Due to my small frame and height I should weight 100lbs but i want to look healthy and fit so I am aiming for a toned 125.

    Anyone who wants support nice or mean lmao, add me :D
