Hey!

There are 9 months left of the year. I am trying to lose 100lbs. I just wanted to know if anyone else is trying to do this too! what are your plans? please give any advice.

I believe it's doable. I plan on working out doing cardio 5 times a week for 45 minutes to an hour. I'm 5'7.

if you're in the same situation as me feel free to add me.

If you think I'm completely insane, let me know! haha.

    I am currently at 290 and want to loose 100lbs!!!! I set a goal to loose it in one year but your idea sounds much better!! I am 5'5!!! I just plan on counting calories (no more than 1500) working out daily and drinking lots of water! So far 10 pounds in 2 weeks!

    I've been on this site for about a month now and I've read all over the place how people are losing 100lbs in a year, so yes it's possible! At least, I hope it's going to be possible.

    I also have 100 pounds to lose. (well 140) but I'm starting with 100. I lost 21 pounds in my first 5 weeks and that's a HUGE kick start to my weight loss. If I can do it, you can do it! :)

    Add me if you'd like some extra motivation. :)

    Looking to love at least a 100lbs as well! I think that amount in 9 months is possible but it does take lots of hard work and dedication!

    I've been on this site a little over a year but last focus around May of last year and started back This past January. Since January I've lost 15lbs but March I picked up things a bit on the diet and exercise front. Was tired of yoyoing around the same 8lbs for two months. Saturday I weighed 279.6 and start working with a trainer today for the first time ever. lol.

    I'm on board to take on this journey with you all, 100lbs in 9 months!

    The only water thing is so helpful! I started at 290 back in September. I'm at 246 now. I set a goal to only drink water until I get under 220.

    I think it is easily doable!!! I lost 34 lbs in 11 weeks so far and my goal is to loss 100 lbs in 9 months!!! YOU can do anything you set your mind to!!! Eat clean, decrease sodium and increase protein, also eat less processed foods, exercise daily, make sure to weight lift so your skin can tone while losing and also drink water!!!!

    While I think it's doable, I don't think it's realistic. Even if you lose 2 pounds a week, you probably will not lose anything during the week of your period. So at most you'll lose 6 pounds a month...that's 54 pounds in 9 months. I think that's realistic. Give yourself plenty of time to lose the 100 pounds, don't stress yourself out trying to lose it so rapidly.

    P.S I started losing weight in January 2012 (joined MFP in June) and lost 72 pounds in 2012. so far in 2013 I've lost 10 pounds. So it took me 15 months to lose 82 pounds. Now I'm not saying you can't lose 100 pounds in 9 months! It's just not realistic.

    I, personally, didn't lose it in any set amount of time but I do think 100 pounds in 9 months is doable! That's a little over 11 pounds a month. I remember I lost 13 pounds in a month, and teens during other months. Just eat well, exercise, and don't give up :smile:
