edited November 4 in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, I'm looking for other people who are on the same path as I am - losing 100 lbs by next year.
My "diet" will consist of eating mostly vegetables (I'm definitely going to have to learn some new recipes!), fruits, whole or sprouted grains (I'm NOT cutting out wheat or gluten), healthy fats, and lean proteins. Honestly, although counting calories is necessary to a degree, it is not going to be my main focus - the ~kind~ of food I eat is the main priority for me.
This is going to be really difficult, but it has to be done; I'm so sick of being unhealthy, and I need to commit to this change. :heart:

    I need to lose quite a bit too. It sucks, but ... what can you do? We're the ones who put the weight on, so unfortunately, we're the ones who have to lose it. lol

    Good luck!

    I am doing the same. It will take time but it would take the same time to not loose the weight as well. Might as well do it!

    Yep, very true - it's going to be tough breaking the bad habits, but it can/will be done.

    Okay, I feel as if I am making progress. One of my secondary goals was to get control of my blood glucose levels and I am amazed that my insulin requirement has dropped dramatically with the help of the book Goodbye Diabetes, Fork over Knife, Engine Company 2, My Beef with Meat, and the McDougall Programs. I am down 22 and the hundred pounds by the end of this year looks possible.

    I'm aiming for 100 lbs, not exactly by 2015 but just whenever it happens (although a year would be really nice!) :3

    Challenge accepted! Ok maybe not 100, but I am right there with you be eating better and seeing what happens. My real goal is to lost 50 lbs by September, which I believe to be more than reasonable. All in all I would like to lose 80-100, but after I start school in Sept. things will slow down. Please add me as a friend so we can check up on how we are doing with our life changes!

    I have the same goal! Trying to lose at least 100lbs by 2015! I started in December 2013 and have lost 17 so far! I'm doing the same, trying to change the types of food I eat and smaller portions to help with calorie control.

    I'm proud to say that with what I lost in 2013 (joined in June) and what I've lost so far this year, I've got just under 100 lbs to what I think my goal weight is. I'm doing it by counting calories and doing my best to stay within my macros. That's the tough part because periodically I do want to just enjoy some junk food with my son but I figure if I do great 80% of the time, then the 20% (and I actually think I'm hovering closer to 85/15) isn't going to hurt me. I log religiously even if I don't want to see it, so I don't have cheat days where I don't log (I might have cheat days where I go over and don't care but I don't plan on them either). I like my whole foods (veggies, fruits, grains) although I do have a sensitivity to wheat (it's mild compared to what a lot of people go through but I do feel much better when I limit my wheat). I am human, I want something that I can stick with for the rest of my life, which means that I will still have junk just not like I used to.

    If this attitude is something you want to work with, then add me. I do my best to be supportive of those that add me. Sometimes it is just liking your status so that you know I'm there and encouraging you.

    I have 150 lbs to lose and just got started 2 weeks ago after a conversation with my 5 year old nephew and 7 year niece. The conversation happened after my nephew asked why I'm fat. It was at that moment I decided I need to make this happen for good.

    My current goal is 80 lbs (but the goal puts me at 100 from my heaviest weight) I've already lost 25 of the 80 so I have 55 left! Then I may try to get under that (goal weight of 165 for now) I haven't seen Onederland since I was....18 (30 now)

    I don't have that much weight to lose (hopefully... I'm pregnant so currently still gaining weight), but I'm guessing I'll be at about 50-60 pounds to lose by the time I have the kid. I'm also focusing more on eating healthy real foods instead of JUST low-calorie (I seriously avoid artificial sweeteners and "low fat/low calorie" substitutes like the plague). Although I'm not currently losing, I'm a mostly healthy eater that would love to cheer you on and help you if I can with recipes :D I'm always looking for more friends!

    Hi There! I'm looking to drop about 80 pounds doing the lchf (low carb, high fat) way or eating. :glasses:
    So far I have lost 21 pounds in 2 months, and am never hungry. Also my blood pressure has gone down!

    Any of you are welcome to join me. I'm in a similar boat as everyone. I'm on daily, try to be as supportive as I can, and my diary is open for evaluation.

    Keep up the good work, everyone!
