Need to lose more than 100 pounds and need support.

I am looking for a support system. Don't get me wrong, I have my husband and my mom and a friend or two. However, none of them are on the same journey I am currently on. I am looking for some people who can relate to what I am going through to help keep me going when I want to quit. Likewise, I want to support someone or some people who may be having a rough time with their own journey. It is not easy, and they say doing it together makes it better.
I am a mommy to a beautiful little one and wife. I work full time (plus overtime). I need and want to lose weight to be happy. My blood pressure is perfect, my cholesterol is perfect, my resting heart rate is perfect. Although I want to feel healthy and comfortable when I get up in the morning and when I go to bed and night. My body hurts from carrying the extra weight. According to the BMI I need to lose more than 109 lbs. I am not sure if that is really possible with my bone structure. I would be ecstatic losing all those pounds though!!
I have about a thousands reasons why I have gained so much weight and most of them are legitimate reasons. The excuses for not trying harder to lose weight and get healthy are pathetic but yet very common.
Thank you for taking a moment for me.

Right there with you! i broke both arms in a motorcycle accident and lived with a great deal of pain. I broke 2 sets of hardware in my left arm, and am very afraid of breaking a third. Terrified would be more accurate. Months of being unable to do many things, followed by months of physical therapy definitely not fun. During all this time my weight has done nothing but go up and up.
I need to get past my fear and get moving!
I have a wii, xbox and treadmill -- trying to put aside my fears and my excuses and do the dang thing!
We can help each other!0 -
I just friended you! I will support you any possible way I can--good luck on your weight loss journey!0

good luck! just think, in just 1 year from now, you could be 100 pounds lighter! sure, its hard work and total dedication, but its only 1 year of your life, compared to how ever many years you have spent being over weight and possibly unhappy... 2 pounds per week, 52 weeks in a year, thats 104 pounds that can be lost!!! GO FOR IT! the year will go by so fast, and before you know it, it will be over!0

You can add me. I am in a similar situation-Need to lose about 80 lbs right now, but I have perfect cholesterol, sugar, blood pressure, etc but know I need to lose the weight.0

Feel free to add me
I am almost at the halfway mark of 100
I am doing it by eating above 1200 net (usually following TDEE-25%), regular eating and trying to eat healthy most of the time
I am always looking for new friends who are not starving themselves or treating their body unhealthily by eating under net 1200
It is work, and its about how much do you want this, putting yourself first and working at it.0 -

Feel free to add me - I'm looking to lose 100... hopefully more!
I'm a mom, work full time, have 2 little boys, and run a business - we got this!!0 -
Feel free to add me. I started out at 263 and knew I needed to lose at least 83 lbs and now I'm aiming for an additional 20. The first thing to tell you is that this will not happen overnight! You did not put it on overnight, therefore it will not go away that way. I've been at this for 16 months and have lost only 76 lbs but I am at the fittest I have ever been, even when I was in the "normal" weight category. It's a lot of work, it's a daily struggle but you can do this!0

I turned 50 during the early part of September and I wanted to celebrate my birthday by going skydiving. 3 days before the jump I was told that I could not go because I was too heavy. I needed to be 225 pounds to go. I was crushed by the news. I was 272 pounds at that time. I am not only going to get to 255, but I will get under 200 pounds so help me God. My target weight is 180.
I feel everyone's pain that wants to get this burden off of them. Add me to your support system to get to our goals together. Get sexy too!!!0 -
Feel free to add me all ;o) Support and Motivation is KEY!0
