Ok, I just joined today and I am looking for anyone out there who also needs to lose 80-90 lbs. (I want to lose 88!). This is such a large amount of weight and it will take about a year to do, so having supportive friends will definitely help! Please add me as a friend and join me in this adventure!! Thanks! :flowerforyou:

    I have about 76 to go now...It seems daunting so I'm trying to take mine 5 pounds at a time, so it doesn't seem so big.

    Welcome! I started with just under 100 lbs to lose. I've lost a little over 30, so I have about 70 more to go. You CAN do it - just take it one day at a time. I take it in 10 lbs increments - Right now I'm focused on getting down into the 180s. That makes it less overwhelming, since losing 10 lbs isn't as scary sounding as 80/90/100!

    Hey!

    When I first joined, I had almost 80 lbs to lose (going from 198 to 120). I've now lost 29 but am still on a long journey! Feel free to add me and I will be there for moral support or whatever you need. :D

    welcome
    I too need to loose about 80 more pounds. I have been on this journey a little over 2 months and have lost 19 lbs. I am taking it 20 lbs at a time. If I just concentrate on the next 20 lbs then it doesnt seem so overwhelming. And for every 20lbs I will reward myself. I would love to support each other. Feel free to add me as a friend

    I was in the same boat! Lost most of it now but if i can get to my goal weight it'll be around 90lbs in total!
    Still got a way to go, so much harder when most of its gone. Happy to support you and others though

    Hello! I want to lose a total of 80 pounds. I started in July, and have lost 17 pounds so far, so 63 to go. This website really does work. Some days are challenging, but entering your calories really does make you feel more accountable, and I've learned a lot about which foods really use up the calories quickly. It really does help to have support along the way. And like other people are saying, it does help to set smaller goals along the way. Rewarding yourself when you reach your goals gives you something to look forward to. Yeah! You're doing it!

    Me! I started out with about 110 to lose and have at least 90 left to lose now (realistically, I probably need to lose about 100 more from now... but for now I am happy to just strive for a healthy weight!)

    I started in May with 90 lbs to lose....I'm 41 down so almost halfway there! MFP is a wonderful place to help you out & it is very encouraging & challenging! I love getting into challenges with people - it helps out tremendously! Find some challenges on the boards & join in! I started with 5 lbs a month challenge which runs each month and went from there...I actually was hitting about 10 lbs each month! YOU CAN DO IT! Feel free to add me as a friend & I'll definitely help you out! :flowerforyou:
