Hey!
There are 9 months left of the year. I am trying to lose 100lbs. I just wanted to know if anyone else is trying to do this too! what are your plans? please give any advice.
I believe it's doable. I plan on working out doing cardio 5 times a week for 45 minutes to an hour. I'm 5'7.
if you're in the same situation as me feel free to add me.
If you think I'm completely insane, let me know! haha.

I have read alot of people on here losing 100 pounds in a 7-10 month span so I believe its possible. I weigh 284 so I would love to join you and try and help motivated one another.0

I've been on this site for about a month now and I've read all over the place how people are losing 100lbs in a year, so yes it's possible! At least, I hope it's going to be possible.
I also have 100 pounds to lose. (well 140) but I'm starting with 100. I lost 21 pounds in my first 5 weeks and that's a HUGE kick start to my weight loss. If I can do it, you can do it!
Add me if you'd like some extra motivation. 0 -
Looking to love at least a 100lbs as well! I think that amount in 9 months is possible but it does take lots of hard work and dedication!
I've been on this site a little over a year but last focus around May of last year and started back This past January. Since January I've lost 15lbs but March I picked up things a bit on the diet and exercise front. Was tired of yoyoing around the same 8lbs for two months. Saturday I weighed 279.6 and start working with a trainer today for the first time ever. lol.
I'm on board to take on this journey with you all, 100lbs in 9 months!0 -
Its doable. Ive read alot of people up here losing that in a year. Im wanting to lose 90lbs but it might change when I get closer to it. 0

The only water thing is so helpful! I started at 290 back in September. I'm at 246 now. I set a goal to only drink water until I get under 220.0 -

wahh? I envy anyone who can lose 21 in 5 weeks! I lost 7 in my first month. haha. Thanks! 0 -
I think it is easily doable!!! I lost 34 lbs in 11 weeks so far and my goal is to loss 100 lbs in 9 months!!! YOU can do anything you set your mind to!!! Eat clean, decrease sodium and increase protein, also eat less processed foods, exercise daily, make sure to weight lift so your skin can tone while losing and also drink water!!!!0

congrats on your weight loss! for some reason I always forget about weight lifting. I need to keep that in mind. thank you!0 -

thank you! good luck on your 90! 0 -
While I think it's doable, I don't think it's realistic. Even if you lose 2 pounds a week, you probably will not lose anything during the week of your period. So at most you'll lose 6 pounds a month...that's 54 pounds in 9 months. I think that's realistic. Give yourself plenty of time to lose the 100 pounds, don't stress yourself out trying to lose it so rapidly.0

P.S I started losing weight in January 2012 (joined MFP in June) and lost 72 pounds in 2012. so far in 2013 I've lost 10 pounds. So it took me 15 months to lose 82 pounds. Now I'm not saying you can't lose 100 pounds in 9 months! It's just not realistic.0

Thank you & I look forward to pics minus the 100lbs at the end of the year! You can do it & I will too!!! 0

I'm in! Lol! I'll add you!0

I, personally, didn't lose it in any set amount of time but I do think 100 pounds in 9 months is doable! That's a little over 11 pounds a month. I remember I lost 13 pounds in a month, and teens during other months. Just eat well, exercise, and don't give up 0

It's definitely doable. Be honest with your tracking, stay focused, and don't get discouraged when you slip up or the scale seems to be stuck.0

why are you going to stop drinking water? is there magic in not drinking it after a certain weight?0 -

thank you! congrats on your weight loss! It's nice to get a message from someone who has already lost so much. I will keep everything in mind. I do think it's a lot and will be a hard work. I'm not getting my hopes up. I am bigger so I do have a lot more weight to lose. You are right about losing so few in a month. I just like the idea of... the bigger the goal, the more work I will do to get there. Thank you again!0 -
I dont mean to sound discouraging, but 100lbs should be your ultimate goal to lose. Setting smaller goals will help you achieve your ultimate goal in the long run. What you are losing now is water weight. It happens to everyone at the beginning of a diet. You lose a lot, and then after a while, the scale will barely budge. Normally, people are supposed to aim for 1-2lbs a week. This is more realistic, as well as healthier. If you lose weight too quickly, it can come back just as easily. Just focus on eating well and exercising! So far you've already made lots of progress! Set small goals and reward yourself every time you meet them! Good luck hun! You can do this! Keep that motivation going!!0

hahaaaaaaa no! I was saying that I will not drink anything other than water until then. I will ALWAYS drink water... does that make sense? I'm bad with wording things....0 -

thank you! I have smaller weekly goals. I just like having the big goal so I can have something to work towards! the bigger the goal, the harder I will work. I'm not expecting to hit the goal. I'm just expecting to put in the hard work!0 -

oh wow! you already hit 100! congrats on your weight loss! that's amazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing!0 -
I think there is a difference between losing 100 when you've got a lot more to lose, than losing the last 100 to get to your goal weight. It certainly is possible in both situations, but the majority that lose the 100 quicker still have many more pounds to lose after the 100 come off. Good luck to you, it's certainly not a goal for someone who discourages easily or who will "get there by any means necessary."0
