let's start a group for people who need to lose 100 + lbs

hi everyone! i just sent friend requests to everyone i could find that said they need to lose 100 + lbs.

i don't know if you can make groups on here, but you can on facebook and i think it is a great idea to have a support group where we can get encouragement from each other and become friends.

so, please accept my friend request on here and lets see about getting a group started. i know i need people to talk to and ask questions of and get support from and i bet you do to. since we are all using this amazing site, let's become friends and help each other out.

    I looked under groups and search for 100 pounds to lose or more and there are several groups that came up!
  • ok everyone, i just made a facebook group for us. it is called Down with the Pounds, Up with Friends. please go to it and join. i am on fb constantly so it will be an active group where we can get to know each other, post tips and recipes, ask questions and get encouragement for this journey we are all on.

    Yes there are several MFP groups that do not require a Facebook account. If you go to Community->Groups, you can search for 100.

    Edit: Here's a link for the search results: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/search?utf8=✓&phrase=100

    Put in a request for the FB page!
  • 130 to lose. It seems so overwhelming. I'd rather not have my fb friends see this site or my posts?

    Feel free to add me. I still have 100+ to go, but down roughly 35-ish and planning to continue. I'm on here daily and try to be interactive. :)
  • Hiya :) I still have way over 100lbs to lose! I'm very active & friendly, so please feel free to add me <3

    ELECTRICPONY I must agree. I plan on not putting anything on fb about my weight loss until one year and then post a before and after pic like -BOOM! but I have 100 to lose I'm extremely cool and motivated so if any one wants to add me feel free.

    yep - I have over 100 lbs to lose as well, but I chunk into short term goals :-) My current goal is BMI of 37 by end of year.

    Feel free to add me as a friend - I'll accept all requests. It's time I started participating more and looking for support 'groups'.

    Me: 5'10 SW 300 6/29/13 (on dr scale, mine was 298, but who's quibbling?), CW 278 , GW one-der-land! I have PCOS, diabetes, and I am on a medically supervised diet - so don't freak out when you see my calorie levels... just sayin :-)

    It's tough, but my calorie goal is 1300-1500 per day, yes I do eat back exercise calories when I can but don't fret unduly if I don't. I also allow myself to eat up to my BMR on occasion or if weight loss stalls.
  • hey everybody im here to lose 100 pounds if GOD will
  • new here, going to join the FB page..but would like new friends here..pls feel free to add me
  • Hi Jackie & my fellow 100lb + to lose team mates!! Let's go ... i'm down 20lbs so far and my goal is 150 lbs by August 2014! We can achieve this by supporting each other on this journey - COUNT ME IN :):wink:

    There are several:
    100+ lbs to lose, Let's lose 100+!, Starting Weight 300+, to name a few. They have been very helpful to me.

    I would be interested in this but would prefer to join a group here. I will go look at the groups here as suggested by a few others.
