Anyone needing to lose over 100 pounds?

I too need to lose a little over 100 lbs and just started today! You can add me also.

I would love to connect with others too! I have recently gotten myself back on track after being off the wagon for quite some time...WAY off!!!

I'm 43 and was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in February 2011 (I had been flirting with it for years). Anyway, I got on a serious exercise plan, changed my eating habits and lost an astouding 57 lbs! I was on the road and felt great!! Unfortunately, life happened and I allowed those old habits to creep back in and gained almost all of the weight back.

SO, here I am trying to lose the weight AGAIN but this time I want it to stick for good!! Feel free to send a friend request if you'd like.

I need to lose about 100 lbs to get near by goal weight. I am super pumped and more motivated than I have ever been. I would love to have some friends looking to encourage each other.

Don't feel helpless or hopeless... I started out at 383 (!) several years ago and am now in the 180s (with 30 to go). If I can do it, ANYONE can do it. Hang in there, be consistent, and challenge yourself! I surprised myself the other day by setting out to jog a mile and wound up jogging a 5k in 32 minutes. YOU CAN DO THIS.

I'm sure I could stand to lose 100lbs, I'd feel so much better if I could start by losing 60 and I'd be thrilled to lose 75. My knees are shot and I've had surgery on one already. Dragging my out of shape overweight body around post op on crutches was no pleasant in the least. 6 months off work and going to physio was a challenge to say the least. I found aquacise to be a god-send.

Just an update on what is going on with me.

Definitely need to lose over for 100lbs!! I was down to 317 but with getting sick in the last 4 months and being put on medication especially bc pills I gained all the weight I loss since January plus 30lbs. But since I have been following the Food Lovers Program I didn't gain all my inches back which is a good thing so I can still fit all my new clothes I brought although I wish they were a little looser. Anyway so I'm back to square since I had surgery last Tuesday and was discharge from the hospital on Friday. Started back to eating every 2-3 hours and walking on Saturday.

Well, I had three wonderful days with the exception of today I woke up realizing my wound I had reopen, I know that's probably T.M.I. sorry in advance, but I ate this morning but that was my last meal until 5pm today cause I was in ER trying to figure out what's going on. The good news is it is not my fault that the wound open they said sometimes the fluid doesn't pick up the flow after you have surgery and it puddles in one spot so they had to drain and repack the wound, which is the bad news I have to get someone to do this twice a day. This is a very painful process but it needs to be done and it will delay my healing process and two weeks but TO GOD BE THE GLORY.

I told the doctor that I had been walking for an hour on Sat. and Sun not yesterday because I didn't feel to good and did that cause the wound to reopen? They told me no, and then I asked if I could keep on walking for an hour everyday and she said that I can do that because just laying around will delay me getting healed longer.

So even though I didn't get my meals in today, I refuse to accept defeat and am going to remain positive that I can still be active and start again at my next meal.

I started wanting to lose 100. I am down 30 now, so I only need to lose 70 more, but please feel free to add me if you would like!

Praying for that sliver lining. I so much wanted to post a picture but I have been running from the camera for over 15 years and I used to model. I sincerely need your help and most of all your prayers. I have 140 lbs to lose and I know that I can do it with the help of a few good friends. Who was it that said "whatever the mind of man can conceive that he can achieve?" I have conceived it now I am ready to achieve it. Thanks for your prayers and your help.

I used to hide from the camera too and beat myself up for my weight, but then I decided that the best way for me to get healthy was to start having better self esteem and to treat myself better, mentally and emotionally. It was hard, and is STILL hard. But i decided i needed to like myself at any and every weight.

It actually has helped me to make a comittment to become healthier and to lose weight by creating better habits.

I'm certainly not lecturing or preaching, I totally know how it feels to be overweight and all the guilt and self hate that comes with it.

Anyway, i'm off of my soap box. Good luck to everyone!!

I actually need to lose a 183. So, ummm, yeah, you're not alone.

I need to lose over 100 pounds, yikes! What a realization that is. I have been tracking my food and exercise for about 2 weeks or so and see where I have to cut out food (like snacking!) and concentrate on better choices. I used to watch what I ate very carefully and exercised. But that was another time in my life! I am now 64 years old but still feel pretty good and can walk at least 30 minutes. BUT it is getting harder and I am getting more out of shape. So yes, I will be your support - my niece and sister-in-law started with me and we support each other. But I will support you also! I still work 4 days a week and watch my grandkids on Fridays but this plan is pretty easy to follow and doesn't take much time. I have tried every diet and diet book there is and I know what to do, but I have to do it. It seems to be clicking now with tracking what I eat - I have read that all successful dieters track their food intake - even if it's just on a scrap of paper! So let's join forces and eat pray live together! My moniker is antanne!

HEY NOW....everyone is beautiful on the outside as well....I took offence to that. Lots of peeps on this site have lost over 100 pounds, myself included.....it's a tough tough journey but oh so worth it.
It's 90 percent emotional though....so work through your *kitten*.....
Good luck everyone.
