Anyone else got ALOT to lose? or just me? :-(

I don't want to lose my Alot. http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html


However I do have a lot of weight to lose. Looking to lose about 100 lbs, not sure what that is in stones, sorry.

Your definitely not alone I have a ton of weight to lose as well. I started my weight loss journey a little over 3 weeks ago hitting the gym, and portion control. Starting weight for me was 346 and my current weight is 328. So I suppose we are on the same journey! Good luck and I have sent a friend request.

Hi Steff!
I recently found out I'm diabetic and have about 100 pounds to lose, so we're in the same boat! I've used My Fitness Pal for a couple of months now and it's been a great help. I'm sure you'll be well on your way to that gorgeous dress in no time. Keep us posted on your success.

I'm 67lbs down and lots more to go! Feel free to friend me if you are looking for some people with similar goals

thanks for replies, didnt expect anyone too reply. hoping i can stick to it and it comes off. just need to stay motivated.

im not sure how to add ppl on MFP so if u know plz feel free xx

You'll do great, just find some supportive friends, plan out your meals and make healthier choices more often than not. Stick to the positive posts on the boards and ask questions when needed, the archives are full of lots of great help as well.

THIS is a big one!!!
Constantly read through the Before/After Section for Motivation when you're doing good and particularly when you're feeling stuck or down. That section is the best for helping one realize it IS possible to get where they are by hard work, dedication and making healthy changes.:happy:

Cheers:drinker: you've come to the right place!!!

Hey, yes I still have a lot to lose. Slow and steady and no giving up is my daily thoughts. So far I am down 24 lbs and think that is not much, but my daughter-in-law (thoughtful girl that she is) reminded me that is 1/3 of the way. Keep good thoughts and keep at it. My wonderful husband is doing this along side me and that helps tremendously. So my thoughts are that you too are doing great and we should be proud that we made this life style choice.

For motivation, I frequent this Success Stories boards. When I find a thread that inspires me, I reply to it. When my motivation is lacking, I click up at the top where it says 'recent posts' and it finds what threads I posted on. So it brings up the threads I like.
I also friend request people with great success so I can look at their profile pictures when I am feeling lazy.
Welcome to the boards! When do you have to order your dress? I would find a picture of a dress that I like and post it somewhere that I would see it every day, if I were you.

I do. And I'm in a little bit of the same boat as you (minus the pregnancy and slimming world thing) as, I've lost 50 pounds, but still have about 70 pounds to lose, and thinking about that makes me exhausted.

hi! I started at 380 pounds and am now under 200 pounds with 20-40 pounds to go...feel free to add me

I'm starting at 462.2 pounds (209.7 Kg, 33.0 stone) and am hoping to get south of 300 pounds (136.0 Kg, 21.4 stone).

However you measure it, that's a LOT of weight!

I'm fairly new here, but I've hit the ground running (so to speak, I can barely walk due to my knees). So if you want, feel free to add me!

Hi there! This is the place to find support for loosing lots of weight. I started at 323 and am 91 lbs down, this month is my year anniversary with MFP. I have about 60-70 lbs (depending) left to go. Feel free to friend me! I'm all about getting the weight off and keeping it off

Me!!! I have never posted here before, but I've been lurking for weeks, mainly this board. I started at 340 and am now at 295. The first 40 really just fell off on their own after my husband passed away, then I gained a little back. Now I'm trying to make the rest happen. I get overwhelmed too when I think about the fact that I still have 125 lbs to go to get to my goal weight (I'm 5'11"), and how looong it's going to take. But the fact is, I have been sitting here complacent for years because of how overwhelming it is. and the time is going to keep ticking away whether I decide to finally do something about it or not. I've let myself be intimidated by how long it's going to take, but that time will be well spent if I'm working towards it, rather than just sitting here letting it go by, staying fat and miserable. Good luck to you.

You're not alone at all,

I started my journey at 20st 8lbs in May last year. I still have a long way to go too. Loving the journey though......:happy:

When I was pregnant I saw the scale say 297 and it was traumatic for me. After baby, it was 275 (I want to be at 149). It seemed so unattainable because I had 126 pounds to lose. A couple weeks ago the scale was at 248 and while that is only 27 pounds lost, I have under 100 pounds to lose now and that to me just gave me a little more hope. I have since made little goals which has mentally helped me not feel so overwhelmed. Plus, my endurance and fitness levels have improved SO much and I am much more active than before, which to me is as rewarding as the weight loss.

Also check the search for small groups that include binge eating, over 200 lbs., 300 to lose etc. I can't recall all the names but if you type in what you're looking for you might find a group that's perfect for you.

At the top of main boards just click on the tab "Groups", it'll take you to them and you can search around a bit.:happy:
