    Yes indeed.

    Looking to lose something like 140 total but my first goal is to get back below 300.

    I want to lose a total of 150. Started (again) at the end of August and this time I'm actually sticking to calories and exercising. Feel free to add me...this goes to everyone else posting! :)

    I am looking to lose about 120-130. 2 years ago, I had already lost roughly 70 lbs, but then a life event happened and I have gained about 50 of that back! I am working my way to being back on track and ready to commit my life to this! Feel free to add me!

    I dropped 110lb's a while back.

    Just some random advice while I'm trying to tire myself before bed.
    - Set to 2lb's a week.
    - Drink alot of water. Thats your new favorite drink
    - Exercise is always welcomed 30-60 minutes a day
    - Going over on protein is perfectly fine. MFP default is pretty low tbh.
    - Going over on Carbs isn't fine
    - Fats aren't that bad in the long run.
    - Planning food a day ahead gives you a good head start.
    - Don't cut out foods you like. Don't make it a punishment. The key about losing weight is self control.
    - Drink alot of water. Can't stress that enough.
    - Take a Probiotic and make sure you get enough fiber.
    - Don't worry about getting crazy with watching sugars and such early on. Focus on the basics follow your macro's.
    - You don't want to lose 100lb's you want to lose 10lbs then another 10lbs. Make the goals easy and never look at it as huge challenge the more of mountain you make it feel like the more you'll want to quit. 100lbs can be an overall goal but make 5-10lbs the direct goal. Always have something in reach its not a race just pace yourself.
    - Have fun, don't feel like you can't go out with friends and hide in a corner and eat just rice cakes. 1 bad night/meal won't ruin everything. The biggest mistake I see here is someone has a bad day and over reacts and ends up getting into a relapse and giving up.
    - When you get closer to your overall goal start to slow down the weight loss. The goal is to be able to maintain when you lose the weight.

    Have Fun =)

    I am a vegetarian. I have a target to go down from 145 KG (approx 320lb) to 80 KG (approx 177lb) before end of June 2014. I have been using MyFitnessPal since 1st of May 2013 and as of 18th of November I lost 30.4 KG (approx 67lb)

    My pants size dropped so far from 46 to 42 and my shirts size dropped from XXXL to XXL. My targets are to go down to size 40 or 38 in pants and to either stay at XXL or to go down to XL in shirts.

    I am not trying to lose weight but am very impressed in the goal and wish you luck and support. I would be glad to be friends too. Keep working hard.

    i can give one tip of advice

    I have a twin who used to be very fit with me in highschool and then gained 85 pounds in college and his job. its impossible to get him to really mature and change his diet. its still quite unhealthy. rarely under 3000 calories and usually near or above 4000. but I got him back into the sports we used to love playing in highschool after work and he has lost 40 pounds ever since. So i reccomend as in everything in life that it makes it easy to find something you really love to do when you work out it helps you go much further. tredmills work but they get boring too even though it may be scary at first people are nice and maybe joining recreation sports like volley ball or soccer and stuff can push you further. especially team sports at first since you have other people pushing you to work hard with them and its a blast and entertaining to play even if at first you cant win there is so much to learn when playing them.

    most people at gyms playing recreational sports are very nice especially when it comes to games like volley ball and its just a very fun social even that can keep you going for hours longer then a tredmill would.

    Yay! Congratulations on starting toward your goals! Having MFP friends makes a WORLD of difference. I have about 40 pounds left of my goal of 100 pounds (236 to 136). As long as you promise not to judge me on the last two days (I have the flu and it hurts to swallow), please feel free to add me! :)

    I started out in a similar boat to you (100 pounds to lose to target), but I'm 13 pounds in so I guess I'm down to 87 pounds to go! But, I'd still be happy to be friends with anyone who needs some! I'm always looking for support and motivation to keep me on the right path.

    Hi! I started MFP in June of this year. I have lost almost 55 pounds and still have about 200 to go! Phew! It sounds like alot, but I take it 10 pounds at a time.

    I have had a bad 2 weeks and gained back 8 pounds, but I know I will lose it quickly and I'm back to logging every day and I comment often.
    I know this is something I will be doing for the rest of my life and I know I will have ups and downs, but as long as I never give up and quit I will make it to my goal eventually! :)
    Feel free to add me!

    I have let it go way to long...have told myself my last lie! Pictures speak volumes. I had originally signed up for MFP almost two years ago (only knew that because I deleted all the posts about "journeyforhealth hasn't signed in...."), but never utilized the site. I was confronted with reality at a Christmas event when I was speaking to my S-I-L who I thought was my size-only to find out I am more than fifty pounds heavier. On top of that, I am beginning to have health problems due to being obese. I have a five-year-old who is following in my footsteps (a child in her class has already called her fat). I am not only looking at a 110 pound weight loss, I am looking forward to being a strong, active wife and mother!

    Would love an accountability partner to make this journey with.

    Feel free to add me, people.
    60lbs is my starting goal, my first goalpost, but the ultimate goal is 80-90.
    Nearly 20lbs down since October 15th, but currently stalling.
