When I first join MFP I was at 313 pounds, now I'm down to 298 pounds. I'm still well over 100 pounds from my goal weight (165 lbs). Some days it feels as if I set an impossible goal for my self.

    Yep, I've got about 120 to loose to get to my ultimate goal weight. It's gonna be a long hard road but so worth it.

    My goal is not too far from yours, I set my goal weight loss for 75 lbs overall.... sometimes I do feel as if all my hard work is for nothing because I don't see what I WANT to see... BUT I keep going even if its just pushing myself 2 extra minutes of moving. Keep going you have gotten off to a good start.. :)

    I have about 150 pounds left to go. I just keep trying to remind myself that staying the same or losing a very small amount of weight is so much better than going up! Even with losing just one pound a week, we'll be 52 pounds smaller next year at least.

    I'm still about 70 pounds from my "goal," but a loss of 120+ from when I started. When I do get to "goal" I may keep going, it depends on where I am happy with it... Add me if you'd like!

    FYI:
    There's at least one MFP group for those with 100+ lb to lose: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/685-100-lbs-to-lose

    If you do a group search, you may find there are other, similar groups, too. This is just the one I know about. :smile:

    I've lost 112 lbs. to date but still desire to lose additional 90-110 lbs. Started on my 63rd birthday at Wt. 405 lbs. I'm currently 64 1/2 yrs old Wt 296.8 lbs. need to rap myself in head with motivational 2x4 to get head right and back on track. Currently stuck living in
    Thailand and with the Summer Temp. always 95-105 degrees find it almost impossible to exercise. Temperature now in low 70's in
    early morning hours so no more excuses, the push to 190 lbs. is on. Looking for friends to motivate me when going gets rough and
    members with low cal meal ideas.

    Dont give up :) I been using this app for the last few months and I have lost almost 46 pounds, challenging my body and making changes. Really no one really realizes everything you put in your mouth until you start tracking your intake. If I can do I know you can do it buddy :) . I am currently at 166 lbs a big difference from when I use to weigh 350lbs. I lost 150 lbs on my own by just walking and eating right. Keep on motivating yourself if you need an extra buddy feel free to add me :)

    I also have about 100 lbs to lose. I lost 70 lbs a few years ago and felt absolutely great but unfortunately I have put most of it on again. I think this idea of having a group of us supporting each other is a great idea. Everyone, feel free to add me as a friend! :smile:
