Looking for people who need to lose 50 to 150 pounds

in Getting Started
I know for me 70 pounds seems like so much weight to lose and is overwhelming so I want to start a group where we keep our goals of 50 to 150 pounds but we break it up into 10 pound increments. We work on and celebrate each 10 pounds as if we hit our first goal and we do it 10 pounds at a time.

If we have 50 to 150 pounds to lose 10 pounds seems like nothing right? Wrong go to the grocery store and and pick up a 10 ;pound bag of potatoes and carry it around the store as long as you can. Than you come back and tell me just how much we should celebrate each 10 pound loss.

Anyone who is interested let me know. I have never set up a group before and maybe someone out there has and is good at that part. This is just an idea and I hope there are others out there that this idea will help them get to their goal weight in an easier and maybe more fun mind set.

    I'm wanting to lose 90lbs (it may change to 100). On August 6 I started at 270 and today I'm 234. I've set up 4 small goals for myself because I thought 90lbs seemed overwhelming also...so here are my goals
    1- 20lbs
    2- 25lbs
    3- 26lbs
    4- 19lbs

    I don't mind joining your group. When you're on this journey it feels good to get recognition.

    I want to lose 123lbs. Im starting today. I need as much support as I can get for this. One of the ways Im trying to motivate myself is to reward myself.

    I'm in! I'd like to lose between 75 and 85. Also, I'm personally rewarding myself every 5 pounds since weight loss is slow going for me (for medical reasons).

    Keep me posted!

    Hi all - well, my experience has been unless there is an emotional component that deals with the why of overeating, nothing will change. There are a lot of resources, and if folks are interested, we could pick one and meet weekly to simply explore the why and begin that healing.

    If we're eating to cover up childhood abuse, a diet is like changing the deck chairs on the Titanic...it's going to sink.

    I'm in. I don't want to be on this journey alone. I have yoyo dieted my whole life and after I turned 45 my metabolism seemed to come to a stand still. I definitely need to lose 80-100 lbs. Could definitely use the encouragement and accountability to keep me on track. :bigsmile:

    I'd love to join :) I am in a few groups but most aren't active except for their weigh in posts... while that is great, I want some continued support! My ultimate goal is 150lbs, I've lost 34 since May when I started. Please let us know if you start a group!

    I am would be glad to join. I need to lose about 100 pounds and it seems the weight seems to go down in spurts but I am committed to getting healthy and living a healthy lifestyle, I can't give up this time especially since I am approaching 50.

    I do celebrate small milestone and nonscale victories, these help me with this journey to a healthier me. I have also been learning how to deal with things differently this time and refuse to accept excuses from myself.
