in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone out there, this is a shout to anyone in the same position as me and has over 100lbs to lose, Ive lost 26lbs so far and eventually want to lose another 100... its a bloody long way to go but im here and commited.. just wondered if there was anyone else out there with a goal out there as big as mine. Would love to chat to people with such big goals, Ive got some great friends on here already who are very supportive, but having someone who has the same goal as me would be great to inspire me and for me to inspire in turn :)

Thanks guys! xx

    You sound just like me. As of today I've lost 27 pounds and I have 100 more to go. I've found that being accountable seems to be helping me a lot.

    Hey Hotpot, I saw your post on my feed. I'm with you too, just about 170 pounds to lose. put 96 as the goal cause that will get me down to an even 300. But once I get there I will be shooting for another 60 or so. Probably more, not counting muscle gain.

    Anyhow, I'm with you for the longhaul girl. We'll stick through this together.

    Hello everyone. I have about 150lbs to lose. I am currently at 300lbs, and I have already lost 25lbs. Losing weight is extremely hard to do. I had never seriously dieted before. I've always ate whatever I wanted, and that's why I am in this situation. I have discovered that I have huge self-control issues with food.

    Where does everyone live? I am in the US and live in Tennessee.

    I am 34 yrs old, married, and recently was diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes. This is the reason I am needing to lose the weight. I want to live a long happy life with my husband.:wink:

    Does anyone have any helpful tips? I am a meat eater and I don't like vegetables :sick: except cucumbers and green beans (I also eat potatoes and corn but some argue that they are not true veggies).

    HI all on Feb 20,2007 I was over 500 lbs! I'm 6 foot 8 inch tall. By July 2008 i was at 280!!

    I'm pretty much a newbie, but definitely have over 100 lbs to lose. It's scary at this point because it seems so unrealistic. I can't even imagine myself losing all that weight. It seems like a fairy tale, like really meeting Santa (sorry if anyone still believes in Santa).

    I have about a 100 to lose too... but I'm trying not to think about that much because it's hard to wrap my head around losing that much weight. I'm breaking it into smaller goals and just focusing on losing the first 20lbs for now. =)

    Hi Hot Pot,
    I have almost 100 lbs to lose and before I joined today, I felt so overwhelmed. Don't get me wrong- its still such a big goal, but just reading your post and others' too I am feeling like at least I'm not alone.
    Thanks and I'm here for the long haul and believe me, could use some friendly faces to help me with this journey, as long as I would be delighted to help others on theirs too.

    I've lost 50 lbs and still have about 70-80 more to go.
    So I'm close to the same total loss that you want. :D

    When I started my healthy eating lifestyle I had approximately 200 pounds to lose. I am "just about" halfway there. 97 down and 103ish to go. :wink: I honestly don't know what my final weight will be. I have a "number" in mind, but since I have been overweight my entire life I have no idea what I will look and feel like at that number. It is just a 'number' and I may want to lose more or stop sooner. We shall see.

    To all of you out there who have a lot of weight to lose, don't think about the number on the scale. To be successful you have to change your mindset. YOU ARE NOT ON A DIET! You are changing your life. You are becomming a better and healthier you! Losing weight is just a happy side effect of that. Stay positive, stay focused and you will succeed.

    Please add me if you like. I love to have friends to motivate me and that I can motivate back. :flowerforyou:

    i have lost about 120 pounds over the past two years through MFP but still have a ways to go. Losing 100 pounds is a big goal....too big for me in fact so i set smaller goals of 20 pounds and did not allow myself to think of anything else. We can all lose 20 pounds right?? then when i met that goal i would set another one. Anyway, that is what is working for me along with logging all my foods, getting active and staying in touch on MFP for encouragment
    I beleive we can reach our goals if we work TOGETHER!!
