Newbie -- needing friends who have 100+ to lose

Hi, I am fairly new here to, I weighed 260 on Feb 7th, and today am down to 220 I have had some help as I had Bariatric Surgery on Feb 14th and am looking forward to dropping the rest of the weight and KEEP it OFF for good!!!!
I have been on more and more medications over the past 5 years starting with high blood pressure med, then type 2 diabetes oral meds, then meds for anxiety and depression, plus acid reflux and also diagnosed with sleep apnea and using a stupid CPAP breathing machine at night .
I am turning 40 this year and have not been on a roller coaster or a water slide with my kids in forever because my heart couldn't handle it and I couldn't climb the steps to get to the top anyway.

I started the process for Bariatric 1 year ago and am feeling so great about my decision. I am not in anyway pushing you toward surgery of any kind. Just sharing my story.

Hope we can have some fun supporting each other in this incredible journey of shrinking - all the best look forward to being your MFP friend - Karen:happy:

I too need to loose over 100 pounds. I haven't weighed myself yet because I have decided that I always concentrate to much on what my weight is, I have decided to only weigh myself once a month (the first of every month) and go from that number. i have done it before where I weighed myself every week, some times once a day, but I put to much pressure on my self, and would collapse under that pressure and give into the foods that are not good for me, so I want to just concentrate on what I am eating, I'm not even going to concentrate on my weight. I'm looking forward to April 1st because I have been eating pretty clean since the middle of March and I want to know what I weigh! I would love to be your friend on here!

Hi, I started at 270 and trying to get to 160ish, all depends how I feel when I get there. So far this site has been awesome. I dont think I could have the results I do without all the support and accountability.

ETA: my ticker doesnt show to final goal, I set a first goal of 199 but am going to go to 160ish.

Feel free to add me, I have 120 pounds to lose

Hello, I have lots more to lose if you'd like to add me :-)

I started out at 263 lbs and am down to 191 lbs. So while I don't have 100 lbs to lose now, I started out where you are. Please feel free to add me. I'm on 99% of the time. This goes for anyone else that wants to add me. I'd love to have your support and be able to support you in return.

Feel free to add me, I did have 100+ to lose when I started, I still have a ways to go.

I just started MFP about 7 days ago. I weigh 253lbs and I was so depressed. My Niece told about the page. I started logging in what I was eating and really am trying to eat better. I weighed in on day 5 and lost 2 lbs. I was so excited!! Then I weighed in again today and was back up to 253. I don't understand, I've been eating less and cut out candy cakes cookies and a lot of other things. How could I have gained the weight back over night? Can someone help me understand?

I too am a newbie, I started on Saturday and am on Day 6 today and struggle a little with motivation craving all the nice things that made me need this weight loss journey in the first place. I have a long was to go but would like to loose 100plus pounds for my 30th Birthday in 2015. Lets get started together and support each other. Feel free to add me xx Good luck everyone on your journeys xx
