    I have alot too lose too. I would really like to take 90 pounds off. I'm starting small... I want to be down 10 pounds by May 16. I think actually being able to see what I'm eating and my calorie and fat intake is going to help tons plus being able to track my weekly exercise. I'm right there with you in needing support.

    I'm starting my journey today, too. My goal is 80 pounds. I figure we didn't put it all on at once, so it's going to take some time to get it all off. :smile:

    I started back again about a week and a half ago, and I wish I had only 80lbs to lose lol. I have 129 lbs to lose and could use some company along the way as well. I have been watching for a new group to start but haven't seen any so far. We can do this!

    You can do it. Just count your calories, eat properly and exercise. I have lost 95lbs since I started in Nov 2008. Its alot of hard work but you can do it. Plus there's alot of support you can get on this site. Just take one day at a time. You wil get to your goal.

    You can do it!! It's been 7 months for me and I'm just a little over half way there, 82 lbs down.

    Try and stay consistent and remember that everyone trips up. I used to plan for a cheat item every day. The key is to make it small. If you're going to cheat and have a donut don't have a dozen. :-)

    Once you've truly decided to change your lifestyle in your heart, all it takes is for time to catch up to the new you. You WILL be 80 lbs down and at your goal weight and you WILL be healthier. If it takes 6 months or 26 months, you WILL get there.

    Don't stress over plateaus or what the scale says. Do the right thing, i.e. exercise, eating right, and counting your calories, and the plateaus, and scale will take care of themselves.

    Each day is a new chance to succeed.

    I'm with ya. I'm just getting going (just starting week 4 or so here) and had almost exactly 100 lbs to lose when I started. It feels like a big number, but I know it will go faster than I think it will. lol
