in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I just started today but I'm no stranger to weight loss. I want a total lifestyle transformation and I am going to (literally) work my *kitten* off to get there. I'm 250 and I'm looking to get down to 150 or around there. I'd love some friends who have similar goals as mine so we can be support to one another.

    Congrats to you for taking on this challenge. I'm sort of similar: going from 327lbs to 240lbs. I am in the middle of my 2nd week back on the wagon that is MFP. One of those times in my life where trying isn't an option. Gotta get er done!

    You can do it. I started with over 200 pounds to lose and am down 35. It is hard work but will be so worth it in the end!!!:smile:

    I have a very similar goal. I started off at my top weight of 265. Down 10 lbs so far, with about a hundred more to lose. You can do it!

    Good luck!!

    I needed to lose 100 too, and am down to 7 to go. You can do this! You've already accomplished one goal and that was getting started.

    I have over 100 lbs to lose too! I seriously started in February of this year at around 270 lbs and I'm trying to get to at least 160 and ideally 150. I'm around 5'7/5'8 and I'm just trying to be healthier. Right now I'm trying to lose at least 10 lbs before September 24th (my 30th birthday :sad: )

    Good luck to everyone! Here's hoping we all find the motivation and inspiration we need to reach all of our goals.

    I started June 18th at 312 pounds. As of this morning, I have lost 30. I want to lose down to 177. So, 105 more to go. Add me as a friend, if you like. I am relatively new to MFP and could use the support of others with lots to lose.

    I can understand the need to lose that much weight.. I have a goal for the next year. My main goal is to get down about 100lbs so that next summer when we go to Myrtle Beach that if we can't find oceanfront to stay at I want to be able to walk from where we
    are staying to the beach on my own without feeling like I'm dying. I want to enjoy it with my family. So I can totally relate to wanting
    to lose a large amount of weight.

    Losing 100 is just my half way point for me though. I am morbidly obese and need to lose 200lbs. So I am working towards that
    goal one day at a time. I've last a little in the 2 weeks I started, but I really plan to work at it as the weight starts coming off. I

    Add me as a friend if you wish. I'm on and off here all day long. I'll help and support you along the way
