    Nope a lot of people here have a lot to lose. I had a lot to lose, but to some the amount I've had to lose it is a small amount. Everyone is different, I still have 10 pounds to go.

    Regardless of how much you have to lose vs someone else, try to look at the common goal. We're all here to reach a healthier lifestyle regardless of how much weight we have to lose or gain. MFP, in my opinion, seems to be a supportive environment to work towards my goals and there are so many amazing and inspiring individuals on here that I feel fortunate to have found this site. Take it one day at a time and what may seem impossible today could very well be a reality tomorrow ;). Welcome and feel free to add me as a friend :smile:

    You will be amazed how many people you find with lots to lose.
    In total I needed to lose 100lbs.
    I have found people with even more than that to lose.
    Make friends and get support and motivation.

    I started this journey at the end of July with 133 to lose. I'm 38.5 pounds closer to my goal already! Try to friend some people with as much to lose or more than you do. I find it helpful because they truly understand that increasing my daily walk from 20 minutes to 25 minutes IS a big deal! Good Luck!

    Trust me, you are not alone - as you can already see from the responses you have gotten!

    When I started my journey, I thought, "Who the hell loses 225 pounds?" Well, now I can see that would be me! I'm well on my way, and over halfway to my goal.

    Make friends - be accountable to yourself - and to others. Keep logging, walking, working out.

    A year ago, walking a quarter mile caused me intense pain. Last month, I jogged/walked a 5K!!! There is a light - find it within yourself, and let it shine for others to see...

    I peeked out at 310 in June of 2011. Goal to lose 130# (more than my wife weighed when I met her). Started on MFP after stalling for about 4 months at 30ish# lost. Down another 20. Still 80 to go.
    gradually taking clothes out of my "Some Day" box. It feels good.
