in Introduce Yourself
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!

    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

    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. :)

    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.

    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.
