in Health and Weight Loss
I appreciate all of my friends here on MFP, but I wouldn't mind have a few more who have a LOT of weight to lose like me, or have already lost that much and know what I'm going through. I weigh about 300 pounds now, so I still have around 150 to lose. I find it helpful to look at diaries of people who are still eating around 2,000 calories a day, slowly working their calories down. Anybody out there?!

    I'm down 70 already but still want to lose 30 to get to my goal weight, another 60 to get to the weight my doctor wants me to be. I have been losing weight since Sept, MFP since Jan. I plan to be here for a long time as I want this to be a healthy life choice not just another diet that I win for a short time then lose when I gain the weight all back again. Add me as a friend if you want

    I currently weigh 369 lbs and my highest about 5 months ago was 405 lbs. I have been trying to add more exercise to my days along with keeping my calories below 1200. It seems to be working for the most part.. The hardest for me is the exercise. Add me as a friend if you want. :)

    When I started I needed to lose at least 120 lbs. I currently need to lose 101 lbs. My current goal weight is 170 (I am 5'9) and will see how I look and feel once I get there. I may try to lose another 20 after that.

    I've lost close to 100 lbs - frustratingly close! - and I still have about 80 to go.

    i started out at 290 and I'm at 260 now. Still got about another 100 to go to not be "obese" for my height (5'3"). Been averaging a pound a week, so slow and steady---works for me! I didn't get fat overnight, i won't lose it overnight. I eat between 1600 to 2000 a day, depending on what's going on. And I walk at least a mile everyday now, picking up my kindergartener. :D
    We can do this!

    Just remember, many ppl have a goal weight in mind but it's all about how u want to look. Some body types are not meant to be a certain weight.

    I got around 200 pounds to lose, but I don't doubt I won't want to lose that much.

    I'm with ya there! Looking for more people needing to lose weight around what I am. I started at 267, and today I'm at 243 and still have 98lbs to go until my goal! Would be nice to see/hear what other people are eating and what kind of exercise they are doing. I also try to stay around 1300-1500 calories a day.

    I have to lose at least 100, not sure what it will be like then.
    Feel free to look at my diary and friend me if you want.

    I try to eat around 1500 calories a day, which is a bit lower than you, but you could get some ideas.
    I am also do high protein, low carb.

    I'm open to anyone that wants to friend me. I started out at 600lbs and am now down to 403. I have atleast another 175-200 to go. I have been through it all, diet / exercise issues / health problems / and surgeries. Got a topic you you want to talk about count me in. Supporting each other is the best way to make sure we all get where we want to be.
