in Introduce Yourself
I'm just getting started (again) and I must admit, losing 103 pounds is quite the daunting task to look forward to. Is there anyone else out there who is looking to lose over 100 pounds? I could use some weight loss buddies who have goals similar in magnitude to mine!

    At the risk of sounding cliche, you can do it if you put your mind to it! :laugh:

    I've lost 107 and have 93 more to go....anything is possible if you educate yourself, forgive yourself when you fall and get up one more time than you fall down.

    Victory is closer than you think!

    Good luck on your journey!

    I started out last August in the same place you are now. My best advice - GO SLOW. I have found that when I set the recommended (one pound per week) and more realistic goals I am having better luck sticking to them this time around.

    I started about 5 weeks ago and have lost 19 pounds. I still have 100 to go so I am right there with you. Just be honest and log everything. So far so good.

    Its incredibly daunting to look at the number, but once you get rolling its smooth sailing!! I have another 64lbs to go, and these 52 weren't too bad.... I dont even really work out lol (Though I can't wait for the better weather to get outside!!)

    You will find TONS of support here - good on you for having the "eggs" to do this! You've got it in the bag :D

    I have about 110 pounds I need to lose. I had lost 7 before joining, went out of town and gained 2 pounds. But I'm not beating myself up, just getting back on track. This is a great website with great people. Everyone seems to be really interested in helping others out and offer freely what has helped for them. Me? I've been doing the P90 for 3 weeks, now I'm adding in the turbo jam also and love it. I really do look forward to my workouts which also makes me choose better things to eat and then you have MFP that MAKES you be accountable. Good luck on your journey!

    I started last June and am down 28 lbs. It is a slow journey but worth it. I only lose a pound or two each week but the feelings and hard work is paying off. I am moving and enjoying exercise and trying new ways to eat the things I love. Good luck

    Hi I started out at 311 and even though it took me a while only because I got pregnant after losing 20 pounds have lost 30 plus pounds. I have 120 to go before I hit the weight I would like. I have a motivation problem mainly me. Im starting tomorrow night with bike riding and walking. Since the time change I can do it at night since I cant seem to bring myself to get up early. Add me as a friend Im sure we can help each other.

    I have 11.4 pounds to go before I hit the 100 pound mark. Someone mentioned going slow. That is so true. It gives you time to work through your issues with food. It has taken me a long time to get here but I can truly say I am transformed. I still have my days where I eat things I shouldn't but I do it mindfully and I try to enjoy the high calorie foods not just packing stuff in.

    Good luck.

    OMG--I didn't think that there were so many in MY boat with me.....it is very overwhelming to think of that number but a journey starts one step at a time I guess. I hope to make this journey in 18 months or less. I look forward to the positive atmosphere of this group! :flowerforyou:
