    Best of luck to us all,
    well, come to think of it, it's not luck, it's just making new habits....


    but, i wanted to let the OP know,
    there are multiple groups of members who are striving for,
    or have achieved,
    over 100 lbs of weight loss.

    If you click on the "Groups" tab,
    and then type in 100 lbs, or 150 lbs, etc etc,
    tons of groups will show up, pages of such groups, actually. You are not alone.


    Here are few that popped up, but, this is only small sampling of such groups of amazing people:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/1804-goal-100-lbs-in-2012


    there are many many many more groups like this,
    i just copied a few of these groups off of the list that popped up
    when i typed "100 lbs" into the search bar.

    YOU CAN DO IT!!

    I am aiming for 165 pounds to lose. I am also tallish, and older---it sure does not come off so easily! Looking for friends with the same kind of goals
    I think the support is fabulous! Alana:flowerforyou:

    This is such a good thread! Its so nice to see that I'm not in this alone. My 1st time trying MFP was 2 1/2 years ago. I did so well for a couple months - somehow, life got in the way and I'm back to where I started 2 1/2 years ago! I'm looking for some friends with similar challanges this time and hopefully that will be the key to me seeing this through! I don't want to be sitting here in another 2 1/2 years wishing I hadn't given up yet again! We are in the process of planning a Disney vacation for August 2013 - I want to be able to fly comfortably, and ride those rides with my kids!

    I have... like... 181 to lose if I'm honest with myself... which is just... it makes me very sad to type that, it's also really hard when you try and try and the scale doesn't move, I also have a nasty addiction to sweets and fast food. Its really... it's daunting to realize that you have that much to lose, so much so that as you said, it takes courage to type it... courage to type a number, it's a little silly but I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. this will take us years to lose not months... it's a little discouraging :(

    I have about 110 more pounds that I want to lose. I joined this site a few years ago but never really kept up with it. Now I'm back on track and have been using it daily. Just seeing the motivational words from the other members has helped tremendously. I'm glad I have some friends now and I'm trying to make some new ones. Feel free to add me. Good luck with your weight lose goals, you got this!!!!!

    the number doesn't matter~ what does is the effort! take it a day (or less) at a time, and try to make good choices, try to move more, and drink that WATER :drinker:

    it WILL happen~ keep the faith!

    I am 5'11". I weigh about twice what I'd like to. The "healthy weight" for someone 5'11 is 140-170-ish but I've weighed that before and just looked skinny and yucky. My absolute "perfect world" goal weight is 180. Right now, i'm at 360.

    whoa. the fact that I wrote that for the whole world to see is..... (imagine eyes as big as saucers)

    Anyways, My boyfriend and I are planning on getting married by the end of the year. I know that's only 4 months away but I'd like to lose 40lbs (or more) by then. that's 10 pounds a month which I think is doable (and healthly so!)

    I got divorced 2 years ago and lost about 75 pounds. (a bad marriage and a uh...jerk of a husband = me gaining a TON of weight) and while i AM proud of myself for that loss.....there is much much more to go.

    Anybody want to join me?


    Hi! Good luck!! You can do it!!!! I've lost 175..my inital goal was only 50 lol

    I have lost right about 180 pounds. Maybe another 10 or so "vanity" pounds to go....My #1 piece of advice. NEVER dwell on how much you have to lose. Just take a day at a time, knowing that time passes....and every pound you lose by eating healthy is an improvement. If I had ever dwelled on how much I actually needed to lose, I would never have lost any! I had no goal in mind. Just knew I was too big...

    I started on MFP 8 weeks ago today. At 320 lbs. :blushing: I weighed in today at 279. 41 lbs lost! So you can get there in 4 months! I've done it so far by simply eliminating the junk food. You can eat alot when you are eating healthy foods! I am always under my calorie goals, but I eat alot, and am never hungry. I have completely changed my eating habits - and I plan on this being my new lifestyle, not a "diet" I will tire of in a few months. We can do this!!
