Female with 100+ lbs to lose. Looking for friends!

Hi, everyone! Im new here, and I just found out my high school reunion is in 103 days! :/ I don't even have aa full four months to get ready for it. I am a pretty big girl and have well over 100 lbs to lose, so it'd be nice to have supporters in the same boat as me, but Im also welcome to anyone trying to get in shape and get healthier! I got to serious this time, cuz I really wanna go and I know I most likely won't if I don't lose some weight. I know Im not even gonna half way there, but Im thinking at the very least 60 pounds is a good goal to set. I know that because Im bigger the pounds will drop off a lot quicker and easier than someone who is half my size, Ive lost a lot of weight before I had my second child so I know its possible! please feel free to friend me to give and receive support! Thanks for reading :)

    I've been a member for awhile but really didn't 'use' it until a couple of weeks ago. I have 100+ to loose and would love a new friend :)

    Hello I just joined a couple of days ago, I'm still trying to figure this whole thing out on here. So much info but seems like a very good place to start. I would like to be friends. :happy:

    Hello I have been a member for years but never really used it until today. Last week my Doctor put me on insulin 4 shots a day so now I have to lose some weight if I was to get off the shots. I need to lose 80 lb we can do this if we just stay focus. I have learned to set small goals so if i can lose 10lbs the first month I will be happy.

    Hi! I'm just starting to use this after downloading it like...a year ago. I've got quite a bit to lose as well. So.. go us! XD Please feel free to add me as a friend, because I'm honestly too shy to add people. Er... Going back to lurkdom now!

    Welcome to MFP! If you log everything you eat and attempt to make most of your food nutritious choices, you will succeed. I'm over here in Tempe. The heat of the summer will be on us soon. Get outside and get some exercise in the next few weeks before the heat hits. Wave to me as I bike down the canal path!

    I'm in the same boat, I have quite a bit of weight to lose.

    I've been a member of MFP for a while and done it on and off, but just recently I've gotten serious about it.

    Hi and welcome! I always accept new friends; who can't use a little support, right? :-) I've been using MFP faithfully since last January although I did forget to log in before midnight and had to start over once or twice. I have been struggling, however, since the holidays so I need to get back on track. I've lost a lot of weight but I still have approximately fifty pounds left to lose so if you want me I'm here. We can support and encourage each other!

    Welcome!
  • Hello, I have 30 lbs to lose but I have been where I had to lose 75 pounds. This myfitnesspal is a gift, I learned that journaling and recording honestly what I ate and why etc. is the beginning of losing and keeping it off. I have lost and gained but finally reached a point where I understand why. I would love to have some friends in along this journey..my family and friends seem to get insulted when i even speak of eating healthy etc. They are just not ready yet, I've been there, where youre disgusted but not enough to make a 911 call to yourself about yourself! LOL!!! Anyway I'll be praying and supporting and sharing with anyone here. Love to ya! love yourself now. :)

    Hi! I've lost 81 pounds on here since having twins 3 years ago (with Zumba!) and it's been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. You can do it if I could! Persistence (that's your part) and support (that's us!) is all it takes. Be more stubborn than the fat! Welcome!

It is nice here that you can add friends that are going through the same thing with the same goals in mind and can help motivate and cheer you along. Someone who won't judge you or criticize.

    Hi, I have just joined and to my shock and horror realised I have to lose around 135lbs!! Please help me and add me. New to this so still making my way round. I am going to try and do an atkins type diet to get into ketosis. I have realised that I eat too many carbs and that even if I eat very little..I put on weight. I am in need of good friends in the same boat. Thanks fellow friends! :sad:
