Anyone else here need to lose 100+ pounds?

I am 25 started at 350 and currently 265 (weigh in day tomorrow so hopefully 260 *fingers crossed*).
I'm 5'8 and my gw is 150 so 200 pounds overall and 115 left! We can do this! I'm from the south so I know exactly what you mean with the cooking and have also always been heavy.

Inspired by you. I've got over 100 to lose, and I'm starting back this week for me. Making changes, and really hoping to stick with them. I'm 22, and have always been big as well. I love everything not good for me.

I have recently cut down on soda, and I will say that I have found bottled water to be my savior. Allows me to make an easy choice without thinking. That's how I'm working out my meals and snacks too...I'm making it as much of a no brainer as possible, so that I can stick to it.

I am with you on the 100 lb weight loss goal. I started this journey Nov 2012 and I am down 59 lbs I plan to hit my goal the end of Nov! I know that is only 3 1/2 months to go but I am starting a 90 day challenge for myself starting tomorrow. I will be here to encourage you along the way. It is hard work but it is worth it!

I sent U a friend request. I love this site and how u can find someone u can relate too. I want to lose over a 100 lbs and hoping I can do this. and when I read stories how so many have done it. I know I want that support others give. Because I understand how it can be so easy in at first and then it can stop and that's when it becomes hard. I found myself packing on weight a couple yrs ago when I started having marriage problems. I am married to a retired Navy Seabee. He Has PTSD and become so hard for us. (long story) but with alot of therapy and still in therapy we are doing better one day at a time....some days harder than others. But I still have small children I want to be active for. I am seeing how it's harder for me to play with them. Harder for me to just go out with my best friend and shop. Because the weight just hurting my lower back. Just want to sit down. I have started this because I want to get back and live....be active for my babies. Be healthy. IF anyone wants to add me please do. I will take all the help and support I can get. I"m doin good so far for which it has only been a week for me. I just notice i have problems keepin my sodium down. thanks for any inputs or friendships.

My fridge is stocked with yogurts (for him & I both!), fresh fruits (BIG TIME!!) and bottled water.......especially since I went off soda for two weeks and then started back up just this last Saturday...I found my headaches were thru the roof again and I felt dehydrated....so I poured out my soda tonight and ran to WM and go a case of bottled water!

Totally have had headaches for the past 4 days, since cutting out diet pepsi. Today, trying to see if it's caffiene driven so had two cups of tea today.

Sent you a friend request.

I have over a 100 to lose - feel free to add me- I am in for the long haul lol

Hey ! I can understand! I've had my weight go up and down for years, especially after I started having kids. My first husband was abusive, and the last thing he told me when we separated was, "You're fat and have 4 kids. No one will want you." At that point, I weighed 270, and pretty much stayed there. I put myself through massage school and started working in that field. I soon met someone else...and made a liar out of my ex!

The constant physical activity was great! I lost about 30 pounds! But I still hung on to my craving for sweets and coffee. (And by coffee, I mean Lattes, and caramel macchiatos. )

I had a child with the 2nd man. He struggled with manic depression and decided he really didn't want to be a father and left. He's had little contact with his child in over 4 years. Guess what I did? I was sad...and I found comfort in mom's home cooking. In candy. In Maple bars! In my precious fattening coffee drinks!

A while later, I met and married a great guy! Soon after we married, I lost my job as a full time Massage Therapist. Luckily, my son's daycare had an opening, so I took it. I made a pittance, but, I was walking to and from work every day. They weight started to fall off...pretty soon...I was down to 235 and fitting into a size 16.

I'm 5'9, so I'm not short by any means. I'm also large frame, so my doctor has told me that a healthy target weight range for my build is 150-170. Right now, I'm shooting for 170.

Two weeks ago, I changed my nutrition plan in accordance with the Insanity workout. I weighed in at 286. I now weigh 267!! I've lost inches all over and I'm plugging away! This is, by far, the hardest workout I've ever done...but I see it changing my body and I'm eating clean and feeling amazing. What's better is, my two older sons are doing this with me, alone with their girlfriend and fiance.

I completely cut out junk, and believe it or not, I don't miss it. I don't crave it. Most surprising to me, is that 4 days in, I realized that I hadn't had any coffee. I didn't consciously cut it out...it just happened!

I'm looking forward to having some friends on this journey!!

That's awesome!!! Good for you!

This is my first week on the site and 100 is exactly my goal. But once I hit it I'm just gonna keep on being healthy... this will NOT be all for naught!

Cheers and good luck to you!
Dan
