    There are many people here with over 100lbs to lose. You can find them on the same forum. I am also on my over 100lbs journey and to date have lost 35lbs. Feel free to add me and hope we can see your progress.

    Well, I have almost attained that goal. I started out at 300lbs and now weigh 204.... It can be done! Eating lean healthy meals and YES counting calories is the only way that I have found that works. It's a pretty simple formula. Consume less than you use every day and you will lose weight. THe biggest trick for me was to find HIGH volume LOW calorie foods to help me feel content longer. Eat salads twice a day and skip the oil. I actually started on Medifast and stuck with it for a few months to get myself going but now just eat real healthy consistently... Hope that helps some~

    Am on the same boat. I want to loose more than a 100. It's my first time using a freind system like this. And decide to commit 100% to it. Right now it feels like do or die for me. Still young and obsessed and I want to get my weight under control before any health issues arise. So please anyone one looking to make friends add me :). And good luck.

    I have about 100 pounds to lose. I am currently doing green smoothies for 2 meals (snacks in between) and eating dinner with lean protein added. Its a little strict but I am only doing it for 90 days (doctor recommended) in hopes that it will jump start my weight loss. Feel free to add me as a friend!

    I know lots of people who need to lose that much, and also I know a lot of people who HAVE lost that much. It can be done. Just stick with it. It's okay to take breaks and "just maintain" for awhile. It's better than pushing to hard or getting burned out and backsliding.

    Think of it like a calorie mortgage. Your just have a bigger debt than I did. You are paying off a debt when you are losing weight and you are on a calorie deficit payment plan. It's okay to just pay the interest for awhile and not go further into debt, then get right back to paying on the principle when you can. It's a good strategy to take breaks when you need them.

    The slow and steady turtle wins the race in this game.

    You're not alone - I started out needing to lose 149, I am down 127. I only signed up on this sight recently, I have been working on the weight lose since last Feburary. The important thing is to take it one day at a time - I focused are removing starchy and sugary carbs - I got up and still do get up everyday and say "Today I will live without carbs, I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but I can do this today." This is the first time I have ever lost more than 50 pounds in my life and I have been over 200 since I ws 13. Please feel free to add me.

    :flowerforyou: Your not alone! I think maybe some folks start at a lower weight goal, so they can see a positive gain towards
    droping the pounds. Than make an increase in the pounds they want to lose after getting some out of the way :)
    You are making a great start with MFP. You can add me if you like as a buddie. I would be honored to share our journey of getting fit!
    Let me know if I can add you as a friend! Take care.....

    Thanks for all the responses! I have either been friended or requested most of the people that responded, if I missed you feel free to friend request me. I got cut off, but I'll try to go back and get some more in a few minutes. I have a feeling MFP might replace Pintrest for awhile. Probably better I spend my time encouraging others and being encouraged than looking at scrumptious desserts all night lol : )
