I'm trying to loose 150+lbs, You've had a great start already
I lost 6lbs in a little under 3 weeks. 0 -
Great job! I need to lose at least 100 pounds, myself. I keep self sabotaging, though, and when I get close to being under 300 again, I freak out and panic and think "I can't do this" and wind up back up to my highest weight again. I'll add you!!0

Hi, I have 120 lbs to lose. Keep it up! Rob0

It feels great to get over that little start hump because then you gain perspective on how easy it really is to lose weight.0

Well done!
I have a target of 104. Currently down 30+ after 5 weeks. I'll send you a friend request.0 -
My goal is to lose 100lbs from my heaviest weight when I started my journey. Even though I have family/fiance/friends... definitely feels lonely. Whether we are getting healthy or not, not everyone wants to hear about what work out I did today or how many calories my dinner is. Hard to stay motivated. Even though it's ultimately up to you, it's hard. Especially with BIG goals.0

I need to lose 100+ its daunting but if i don't do it now i never will! i need to do this so i am. 0

Yes it can be hard to find the motivation some days. We can all do it though. I have my sister who only has a few pounds to lose and even though she works out, she gets frustrated at the fact I'm counting calories. She knows I eat healthy 80% of the time but doesn't understand why I'm restricting my calories lol0 -

You've already lost 37 pounds! How does it feel?0 -
Congrats on your first 10 lbs! I am about halfway to my goal of losing 100 lbs. The hardest part for me has been patience...realizing the process takes time and that it is going to take longer than I would like to get to my goal. While patience has been a bit of struggle for me, overall, I am still surprised at how easy it has been once I got in the routine of tracking my calories. I am still amazed that I have lost almost 50 lbs! If I can do it, anyone can! Feel free to add me.0

Wow, you guys are all doing awesome. I've no idea how to weigh myself as my scale is broken (not because I'm overweight, it fell out of the cupboard and smashed. But yeah, I'm only trying to lose about 20 lbs. Great work everyone!0

Hi everyone. On 5th January I had 98lbs to lose. As from February 3rd I had lost 14lbs. I was amazed that I had lost so much in such a short space of time. I make sure I log EVERYTHING and that I drink plenty of water. I've started going to my local sports centre to use their hydro gym... gym equipment but in the pool. I was referred by my doctor to the centre so I can use the equipment at reduced rates for 16 weeks. So I don't get overwhelmed by the amount of weight I have to lose, I break it down into mini targets. My first mini target was to lose 10lbs by 3rd of February. i achieved that within 2 weeks. so I set myself a new target of losing 14lb by 3rd February. I achieved that target too. My current mini target is to reach 21lbs by 3rd March. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for that one!
Feel free to add me, the journey to your target weight is easier with support!0 -
Great job with your weight loss. Please add me as a friend, I will lend my support and encouragement. :flowerforyou:0

Me! Started five weeks ago and I'm down 15 lbs. Started at 240 and would like to get to 140. Would LOVE to get to 130 but I'll take 140. I'm 5'5". It's a slow and steady process and I'm highly motivated!!0
-
Yup. Me, 168 pounds of those bad boys will be gone by next year.
Daunting? Yes!!
Doable? Hell YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stick to my calorie allowance and lift weight like it's going out of fashion.0 -
My current goal is to lose HALF of me, or 130'ish pounds. I will reevaluate as I get closer, probably won't go quite that low, but it was a number in the healthy range that was a "pipe dream" when I started. I started in the middle of August and am down 71 pounds, so far. Let's get it done!0

Me, congratulations on your first 10, that must feel amazing! anyone in this post - your all welcome to add me x0

I need to lose 100+ its daunting but if i don't do it now i never will! i need to do this so i am.
I'm now in "coopetition" with a few friends on this journey, which helps considerably ... we're supporting each other, yet competing for the finish line at the same time. It makes it a lot more fun, and much harder to cheat. At first I was hiding my efforts, now I let anyone who cares to listen hear all about my progress ... and their interest and encouragement reinforce my motivation ... as do their double-takes when they see my progress. You can do it too!
PS - If you've never heard the term "coopetition", see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coopetition0 -
It's very possible! I set out to loose over 180 pounds less than two years ago. (without having someone to share it with since I'm new to this site) I've done it! If I can you can too! Never give up
Stay dedicated and feel free to tell us all about your journey, I'm sure it will be successful! If I can do it, you can 0 -
Every year I make a New Years resolution to lose weight. This January is no different EXCEPT I also turned 60. I have always been obese but pretty healthy and strong despite the weight, but now I need to focus not on how I look but my health, stamina, and being able to enjoy my retirement. My first goal is to be under 200 by May 1. I began at 237 and am now 221.
Is anyone interested in setting a goal? Mine is to lose 10 lbs. by march 15
Any takers?0 -
Wow, I can't even tell you how inspiring all your posts are. Truly amazing and what great support. I weigh 282 pounds, OUCH. I lost 2.2 pounds which I know isn't much but I haven't lost it before ... only gained so it's a huge accomplishment for me.
My goal is to weigh 150 pounds but losing 5 pounds will feel great, then I'll concentrate on the next 5 pounds
If anyone would like to be my friend on this, please add me. Reading all your positive posts just inspired me even more to keep it up.
By the way .. One of my goals is that I'm meeting a friend of mine at the end of April who I haven't seen since last October and I plan to be a few pounds lighter.
OK - good luck everyone. We can do it.0 -
Working on losing 122 over here to start with - then re-evaluate where I'm at and how I feel. I started middle of October at 327 pounds, and shooting for 205. I gave myself until age 35 to make that happen - 1 year and 7 months from now. I'm down a little over 60lbs so far, and working on blasting through this current plateau to get even further...
My focus is a lot of whole foods, fruits and vegetables, lean meats - trying to avoid as much processed foods as possible. If I can't pronounce the ingredients, I try not to put it in my face.
I'm training for an 8K race, doing pilates and weight training. My diary is always open. Hit me up.
Cheers,
Ben0 -
I WILL loose that 100 pounds...one pound ~ one meal ~ one opportunity to exercise at a time. I can't think beyond what the scale says TODAY. Think of it...could you pick up and carry 100 pounds right now? No ~ but you can carry 1 pound right now. I had to get my head straight before I could begin this "lifestyle change". My time is now. Do I sound like a commercial?? LOL probably!0

Hi Everyone. I too want to lose 150+ pounds. I stated a little over 2.5 weeks ago and I am down 17 pounds! Yay me!! Congrats on your 10 pounds gone.
Friend request are welcome! I need all the support I can get!0 -
hello . you can add me. I am trying to loose a great amount. I started at 262 and currently at 250. 12 lbs in 4 weeks. I am on the journey alone so it would be nice to have someone to chat about it0

Congrats on the first 10 lbs. I am in your same shoe. Trying to look for some support as I take this journey of trying to lose weight. I have a hard time of pushing myself to keep going and making the right decisions on what to eat. I am a stress eater and I have a stressful job. So it is a daily struggle. So you can definitely add me as friend and maybe if I have someone holding me accountable I can stay in for the long run. I love reading all the post people have left. It is really inspiring me to keep working at it and not giving up. It's only been a week, so I have a long way to go.0

Congrats, that is so awesome!0
