    You can absolutely do this :) One pound at a time. Set small goals and don't forget to reward yourself throughout your journey.

    I'm new to this site as well and I would like to say thank you all for being so open and sharing your stories. I've been on this up and down weight battle myself but I’ve always tried to do it alone because of shame and embarrassment. After reading the success stories I now know I have nothing to be embarrassed about and I can do this. So I looked forward to taking it 10 lbs at a time! Happy weight loss journey to all!

    I'm in the same boat. I need to lose minimum 150 but my overall goal is 177. I keep reminding myself to take it one day at a time, because it didn't happen overnight. I log EVERYTHING I eat, make sure I drink 8 glasses minimum of water a day, and get as much exercise in as possible. I started with 30DS because I can do that at home and it's too cold for me to walk outside right now. Good luck and if you fall off track, get back up and try it again!

    I started with 130 pounds to lose and I'm 3 pounds away from my half way point! I set small goals too.

    My first was 10 pounds and then the next was to get out of the morbidly obese range. Then joining onederville! Finally in the hundreds. My next goal is the half way point then I hope to get to 180 for my anniversary at the end of March! That leaves me with about a pound or so to get out of the obese range all together. Next is to lose 21 pounds for our holiday to the beach. My goal for the end of July is a weightloss of 100 pounds. That's our bible week, last year I weighed 258.8 pounds! My final goal is my goal weight!

    So if you break it down in lots of steps, it doesn't look so huge!

    Wow, did I really type that? 100 pounds, how did I get this far out of control...sigh...a friend introduced me to this site, and I am hopeful that one day at a time I can move things in the right direction. I am a type two diabetic, have sleep apnea, and asthma along with the other aches and pains of being overweight. Okay, day one...here I go again.
    :smile:

    Welcome to the group! I have approximately 115 pounds to lose. I also have sleep apnea, am pre-diabetic, and have COPD (lung disease). I've been here for a little over 10 days. I find MFP very helpful and encouraging. I will "friend" you. I am here daily and keep my food diary open to friends.

    You can totally do this! It will be hard, but take everything one day at a time. Even the smallest things, when added together, form something much larger. So even small changes in your daily routine will help. Cut out one can of soda a day, or eat an apple as a snack instead of something you usually eat. Small changes first.

    You got this!!!

    I started mid-November in the same boat as you; I'm now 1/4 of the way there. :smile: You can do it. It's not easy, but as the weight starts to drop off, you'll feel a huge sense of accomplishment. Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels.

    There's lots of people here who've been in the same place we are, and they conquered their weight issues. We can too!
