I'm not at 100, but rather at 60 and it feels just as impossible. Looking for friends for support as well, so a friend request is on its way. We can all do this!0

Losing 100 lbs does seem overwhelming but, if you try to break it into smaller goals it makes a huge difference. Then you can keep looking at how far you have come, not how far you have to go. Tell yourself, i am going to lose 10 lbs....10 times. Sounds much easier doesent it? Love yourself in the process...because that is what it is.....for the rest of your life.
I have lost 70 lbs doing it this way....only thinking about the next ten to come off. Hope this little bit of advice will help0 -
I started with about 130 lbs to lose. I am down 65. Has it taken me awhile? Yes! Did I stall out, fall of the wagon, lose my way? Yes! Did I pick up the pieces and start the day over again? Yes!
You will have days that you stumble - just pick it up at the next meal and continue on from there. Don't beat yourself up over it. That took me a long time to learn - I would think if I blew it at one meal then the whole day could be a free for all. Now, I just start back over with the next meal.
Break it down into small, manageable chunks. 10 lbs, 1 pant size, a % of body fat, maybe just focus on exercise at first then start adding in the food. However you do it, just do it. Do what works best for you in the schedule you can maintain. If you start off whole hog with changing everything at once, you may be bound to fall off the wagon. Some people do, some don't.
You have a ton of support in this community. Rely on them when you are having an off day or have questions.

Seems like there are a lot of us out here! You've definitely gotten some really good advice here!
I, too, am a newbie....just back to MFP. I am 43, weigh 282 and I would really like to weigh 175. I've got a looong way to go! We can totally do this together! There are so many here. If you have room, feel free to add me. In fact, any of you can add me!0 -
Take it in small goals, give yourself a 5 or 10 pound goal to reach and
and then another. Log it in a notebook if you want to, I did this before MFP
was created. I still have my notes and I smile to see the numbers go down
just a little each week. You CAN do it! I started out at 346 and I now
weigh 183, if you fall off the wagon just climb back on the next day and don't
beat yourself up over it. Best of luck to you!
