    I am fairly new..my goal is right at 80 lbs. to lose..I have only been dieting and exercising for about a few weeks and I am down 9 lbs. This site has helped alot and I actual get excited to put in everything and see where I am at and now even get happy when its time to weigh in...I don't dread it anymore.

    Overall I need to lose about 60-70 lbs, but I'm making myself take it slow and doing 10-20 lbs increment goals. I think that helps more because you feel less pressure of "Oh my god I have that much more to go."

    I totally agree!! I'm a big visual person so if I set small goals and hit them then I'm that more motivated.

    I'd guess I probably need to drop 100, but I'd be happy reaching the first goal and taking it from there - was still 50+lbs, but not as daunting as 100!

    I'm almost at 20 pounds loss but want to lose a total of at least 75. Once I get to that I will re-evaluate.

    If you have an open diary (to friends, doesn't have to be open to public), feel free to add me :)

    I'm looking to lose 55 pounds, and it's kind of challenging! I never counted calories before, but when I started it really opened up my eyes to my eating habits. With the counting, though, I feel a lot more confident and I think that I'll be able to really accomplish my goals. I'm trying to have a lifestyle change more than a diet, so I'm really trying to find things that I really like to eat and do, so I'd be happy to share and hear things from other people about that!
    Feel free to add me or I can add you or whatever. I really try to be super supportive and encouraging because I know that's what works for me and helps me to succeed. I try to keep in touch with everyone I'm friends with and try to share advice, tips, stories and all of that, because it really helps me and is super encouraging and motivating to me!
    So, yeah! That's basically it.

    Believe me you're not alone!

    I have about 45 to go but when I started this journey prior to joining MFP I had 100+ to lose so it can be done.
