in Motivation and Support
Hi! I have 100 lbs to lose and would love to have friends online for support and motivation along the way, that have the same weight loss goal in mind.

I'm 5' 11 and 49 years old.

It is my gift to myself to reach my goal weight of 175 lbs by my 50th birthday this coming December!

Join me on the journey?

Cheers!
Lyn

    Hi! I'm right there with you. Sounds like we have similar goals. I want to get to my goal before hitting 49 in September. I started working with my doctor, a nutritionist and personal trainer 5 weeks ago, so that included the Christmas and New Years holidays. So far I've dropped 13.4 lbs, so that just a bit more that 2.5 lbs per week lost.

    Love to have someone on this journey with me! So much better when someone else knows the obstacles that you face when trying to lose this much weight.

    Oh, I'm 5' 8" and I have just a bit over 100 lbs to lose to!

    I need to lose 100lbs and more, need a bit of help and encouragement as I'm rubbish at trying to do it on my own...any help and support would be great (I've put my most awful 'fat' picture as my profile pic to show myself in my worst light) x

    I would love to lose 100 this year! That would take me to a bit below goal (which is still over the recommended for my height). I need all the support I can get...add me! :flowerforyou:

    Long term goal is to lose 100. 2014 goal is to lose more than 50.

    I want to stay reasonable so I don't get discouraged. It took me more than a year to gain all this weight so it may take longer than a year to lose it. :)

    Yep, I need to lose at least 100 pounds. After I get to 100 I'll decide if I want to lose more or just maintain. I'd like to be realistic about maintenance. I don't want to be so thin that I have to starve myself to maintain a really low weight for myself. For me it's really all about my health. I don't want to become diabetic. I know that my legs and feet hurt because of my weight right now. My biggest issue is IIH.

    Its been said that losing weight is the easy part and that maintenance is when the work begins!!! I would think that if we make a true lifestyle change then we won't be stopping what we are doing once we lose all that we desire to lose and we will slide into maintenance nice 'n easy... makes sense somewhere along the lines lol

    I have 100 lbs to lose in total, my goal is to hit at least 50 of those pounds in 2014. I struggled in 2013 with some very stubborn weight and could not shed a pound, but that was to do with my not doing everything I could do either (better diet, regular workouts, etc.) Today I turn 29 and I am ready to change my life for the better and shed this weight forever and end my 20's with a bang! I would love some friends and support throughout the journey..as we all know, this is not easy!!

    Hi! I'm also trying to lose over 100 lbs this year...just started on MFP today! I am 27 and 5'-9"...and when I went to my annual ob/gyn appointment just this morning, I felt physically ill when the scale read 336 lbs. I just got married in October and we'd like to start thinking about kids within the next couple of years. But I need this weight off before that happens! Here's to healthy new starts this year!! ~Lauren

    Well what a coinky-dink. I'm 5'11" and 49 also. My birthday is in October, but I have about 150 to lose total. May be getting the bariatric sleeve procedure done late in June. I will be tickled to death if I can get 75 off this year, but would love 100, then the other 50 before Summer 2015. LETS DO THIS!!!!!

    Hello. I'm new to my fitness pal and I also need to lose over 100lbs. I've been overweight all my life and this year, I am determined to lose this weight. I'm doing insanity now. That workout is a monster.

    you want to lose all 100 in one year?

    O_O

    if it was me, I would be worried about being able to maintain it, causing myself body dysmorphia issues and loose skin.

    I have set a goal that I want to end 2014 under 200 pounds. That's about a loss of 60 for me. Not everything that I need to lose but feels like enough of a challenge for now. I am 41 and only 5' 2". I have started getting involved in dance fitness (Zumba & LaBlast) and just love it. I want to start going Salsa dancing on the weekends. I went last Friday and it was so fun, it didn't fee like exercise at all.

    I am looking for support, especially with balance. I know that I need to pay attention to exercise and eating but I also want to manage my stress and increase my fun. I worry that in order to loose all of this weight I will have to make it be my only focus. I know several people that have been successful with major losses and it seems like it is their entire life. They are very involved with menus, meal planning, grocery shopping, lanning where they will eat and what they will eat when they go out, meetings and serious exercise. I respect their level of committment but hope that it is not the only way to be truly successful with becomming a health person.
