I just need to lose a half pound....200 times.

100 lbs is just over 4 ounces a day for a year.

Mamma always said, when you eat an elephant, you have to eat it one bite at a time.

It sounds so easy...why is it so hard?

Good morning and congratulations to all for beginning a healthy journey. I know I want to lose at least 80lbs - 100 lbs but I am taking it in 40lb increments. I don't want to lose too much because I have a big head and am not trying to become a real life bobble head doll! I've been there before, not a cute look for me. Lol So, I am eating soooooo much more healthy than I've ever eaten in life and working out regularly and consistantly. this group is an inspiration and I thank you all!

I am looking to lose Ideally 125 lbs. Gonna be a journey. I lost 80+ lbs a year and a half ago.....so I know its possible. Just need to keep it off this time. gonna be hard but at least we have each other!

My goal is to lose 123 lbs. I have already lost almost 75 lbs over the past few years, eating healthy and exercising. I got married 13 years ago and gained about 100lbs. I have since divorced and found that I eat healthier on my own. I have always been overwieght my entire life. Like some of the others, I am trying to set small goals to achieve. My best friend and his boyfriend are getting married in May and I'm standing up with him, so I would like to lose 30 lbs by then. Then another best friend's daughter is getting married in Florida on the beach in July and I would like to lose another 20 by then. Wish me luck!!

I am trying to lose 80-100 lbs. I have lost about 10 so far. I think once I hit 80lbs lost I will probably want to keep going but it's just going to depend on how I look and feel. I definitely don't want to be stick skinny but it would be nice to not have to buy the biggest size available at stores that I like
Most of all I am really just trying to change the way I eat and not worry so much about how much I weigh.
What is everyone doing to lose the weight? I have a hard time finding time in my day to exercise. So Im only eating about 1200 calories a day. I have cut out soda, red meat, white carbs, and sweets. So far I'm doing good but I'm worried about slipping back into old habits.

I cut out soda, red meat, and some processed food too. I run a daycare so I try to run after the kids as much as possible to stay active. If anyone has any diet tips or recipes they'd like to pass on I'd appreciate it.

Name is Sarah, new to this group... joined MFP at the first of the year at 300lbs, didn't use the website or anything until about a week ago. I sit at 294 right now and I'm looking to drop 160 at the most but my first goal is to drop 30lbs (roughly 10%).

Hi!

I am on a path to lose 115 lbs. I have lost a lot already, but I have a long way to go to reach my goal weight. I am Juice-Fasting for 60-days, and I am 17 days into it. I have been almost vegetarian for about a year, only eating occasional seafood and fish, but when the juice fast is done, I will be completely vegetarian. Yes, its hard, but it is so worth it. I want to live as long as I can, I am starting do what it takes to make that happen. Peace and blessings to you all. Stay strong and KNOW you can do it!

Hi there!! I have 103 lbs total to lose altogether. My first goal is to get into the 100's, second getting to the "normal range" for my height and weight

I am looking to lose about 185 pounds. About two and a half years ago I started a weight loss journey that led to a 50 pound loss. Unfortunately, I got ill, bed ridden, lazy and depressed and ended up putting back on the 50 plus 10 of their friends. My health is somewhat improved, I'm no longer bed ridden and am working on the rest! I joined MPF quite a while ago and didn't stick with it. I started back March 11 with a new attitude and am ready to make the changes needed to be healthy. I live on the near east side and work out at Gold's on East Washington.
