    Let me tell you, this is a lifelong struggle. My idol is Jack Lalanne. He worked out till the day before he died, and he died of pneumonia. He was 96 years old. This is the essence.

    Weight loss isn't just one of those things you achieve and then go back to normal. You keep it up all the time. Work out, eat right, this is something you should keep regular (barring one or two binges) for the REST OF YOUR LIFE.

    I know you are ready to accept this fact, as losing 100lbs isn't a trivial feat. I only need to lose about 30 pounds to be in the lower end of body fat spectrum (like under 10%), so I know just how hard this is going to be.

    I will provide you my full support, and we should critique each other's food journals in order to stay on top of things :)

    Request sent.

    I am going to turn 35 this year and I have decided that I am done with being this person. I need to take care of myself because no one will do it for me.

    I have over 100 to lose, but I am taking it one day at a time and looking less at the numbers and more how I feel.

    Anyone can add me. We are all in this together.

    Hi! I sent you a friend request! I just joined this week and I also want to lose over 100 pounds. So far I don't have any friends, but I'm hoping to make a few. A good support system is vital.

    Thanks so much!!!

    Feel free to add me as well! And that goes for anybody. Having a support system in place is going to dictate your success or failure, and we all know we want the former!!

    I have been struggling with my weight for my entire life. I am determined to do this. I log daily, update statuses with good info and quotes. I have 50-70 to lose. I'll accept anyone's request so feel free to add me. I try to hold everyone accountable but will delete you if you stop logging. : )

    If you get discouraged easily then do not add me
    If you want me to give you a detailed workout plan do not add me
    If you intend to abandon logging then do not add me
    If you are willing to get yourself out of the hole you dug then feel free to add me.

    Please add me! (Same goes to everyone else in the thread). I also have trouble reaching out for support, but I'm trying to be more outgoing and keep on moving forward. We can do this! :)

    I would also like to lose another 100lbs (some days it seems like it will never happen). You can add me if you like and hopefully we can both reach our goal together :flowerforyou:

    I am in the same boat! I sent you a friend request. :) Last time I did this I didn't have any friends and I think that's part of why I've put half of that weight back on. Anyone on this thread please feel free to add me.

    Hi Stacie, I have over 100 lbs to lose and have lost 90 lbs twice in the past and put it all back on and then some. I too want to lose it again and keep it off. I haven't reached out for this support before either, so hoping this will make a difference.

    I sent you a friend request. I am on the road to losing over 100lbs as well. It seems like a LONG road...lol but I gotta do it!!! Anyone else who is on a weight loss journey, can send me a friend request. Always great to have some support from people who are in the same boat as you!

    Sent you a FR! I've tried MFP a few times before too. I never lasted very long. This time I'm really trying to get involved with the site. I think that will keep me motivated. Consistency is definitely a problem for me!

    before joining mfp I lost 90lbs. It is not that hard watch calories dont restrict and move! Anyone can do it. In the past I was always on some fad diet starving, I always gained it back and then some. If you count calories and move it will come off if you just keep doing it day after day. Those that have lost weight are no special snowflakes you can do it too !

    I know what you mean. The last time I meant to loose wt, I decided to loose 60 but that seemed so far out of reach. This time I started out at 5 lbs and when I got there I up it to 10 and got scared. So now I am back to looking at 5lbs at a time, I seem to breathe easier at 5. You can do it!:smile:

    Hi. I have close to 100 to loose to get me to my goal of 140. I'm so excited, cause this time around I've given myself a little over a year to do it instead of hoping for a miracle trick to make me shed the weight in days. So, hi!! :)

    Hi everyone, I haven't read all of this as I'm off to the gym :) I'm 75lbs down and have around 95lbs to go. Feel free to friend request me if you're serious about losing the weight - I'm pretty good with motivation and support. I'm also honest and I believe in eating a sensible amount and moderation rather than elimination of foods, combined with exercise. It's worked for me so far :)

    There's also a good support group here for ladies with over 100lbs to lose - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/10743-starting-over-100-ladies
