Ladies w/ 100 Pounds To Lose

I started my journey on November 9th, 2012. I was miserable and watching life pass me by. I had a back surgery in April 2012 and was basically a couch potato for 6 months while recovering. I fed my depression with high calorie foods and over processed crap. I finally had enough of my PCOS controlling my body, my depression controlling me, and my body aching like I was 90 years old...
Initial weigh In: 330 pounds-26 years old- 5 ft 9

I am very dedicated to regaining my life! If you need motivation, Ill motivate you. We are all on this long journey together. Add me and let's keep one another focused!!

    Adding you. I'm not sure that I'm going to lose 100lbs. I probably could. I'm 230 right now. My long term goal for now is 80lbs. With 30lbs being my short term goal. :)

    I am 27 years old and weigh 244 pounds. I am so tired of being overweight or obese for the lack of a better word. I am ready to do this, I would like to lose a little more than 100lbs. I would love to be around 140 when it's all said and done. I am graduating from college in May and want to be under 200 by then. I have not been this determined in a long time but I need all the help I can get. It's really encouraging to here stories of people who are in my shoes as well as those who are succeeding. Congrats on all the weight loss, it is one of the most difficult things I have every been faced with and I hope I can keep my determination as well as you all are! I am new to this site so I'm not real sure how it all works but anyone feel free to add me! I need all the support I can get. :)

    By the way I also have PCOS. It took me 2 1/2 years to get pregnant with my son and we are wanting to try for a second child. This is a major reason I want to get this weight off!!

    This Friday will be one week into my diet.:smile: I am learning how to eat healthier without constantly being hungry. I quit drinking the cokes, no easy task I'll tell you. I was drinking 6 + a day. Withdrawals from that has been hard.:sad: So, instead I'm drinking water, water, water. Drinking half your body weight in water really helps shed the pounds & gets rid of all those toxins. So I hear...lol.
    I cant start walking yet...I broke my ankle 2 months ago, but hoping the Doc will let me start soon because I know you have to move it, move it, move it to help with the weight loss:bigsmile: I would love to have some friends to help support each other. Feel free to add me. Terri_terri

    Sounds like you ladies are all doing great! I have always been a bigger girl and after my divorce gained 100 lbs. I had the gastric sleeve on February 14, 2012 and I have lost a total of 60 lbs. so far! I still have a LONG way to go though. New years goal is to lose another 20 by the time my 1 year anniversary comes around. Not sure I can reach it, but I certainly going to try! Please feel free to add me for support and I will do the same to you! Here's to a brand new year and a brand new us! :)
