Hello all!
My name is Sarah and I just wanted to introduce myself and see if there is anyone else that has a large amount of weight to lose so that we can connect. I have over 300 lbs to lose and it is very daunting but I'm excited about this journey.
It's amazing where everyones breaking point is and mine is definitely here. I refuse to live this way any longer and I'm hoping that I will be able to encourage others along their journey as well.
I have just begun a vegan diet and when I say diet I just mean my way of eating not "diet" in the traditional sense of the word. I think "diets" have done me more harm than good and I will never again "go on a diet".
So here we are, all of us reaching for the same goal. Let's do it!

    My goal ultimately is to lose around 100 lbs if not more. I'm glad you're trying this out like I am. I've done the usual diets here and there but nothing made me more aware of what I was doing than this. Good luck and hopefully we'll get there!

    Welcome to MFP!! I have to warn you... this site is ADDICTIVE!! But what an awesome addiction to have!! :) You can totally do this! Set small goals for yourself... and small goals add up to huge ones!! I like to concentrate on 10 lb. goals - that way it doesn't seem as daunting. Congratulations for taking control of your health and your life!

    Hi Sarah! I don't have 300 lbs to lose but would like to encourage you on your journey! I watch the Biggest Loser and like a fool I cry whenever they cry. I also admire the success stories!! I hope you find a fitness pal that has the same goal but do wish you a triumphant journey : )

    Oh my goodness!! Thank you all so much for your support!! I don't think I've ever gotten on a weight loss website and recieved so much support in like 10 minutes! You guys are awesome!! I've definitely found home. Thank you all for your support I know I can do this because I have a completely different feeling than I've ever had before. All I feel is positive about my journey and I'm not looking back. I can't wait to get to know you all.
