Hi Everyone!

I'm looking for just a few friends who are determined to lose over 100 pounds. If you HAVE lost over 100 pounds, this is for you, too! I want to be able to relate to someone who has to lose/ has lost lots.

I log everything I eat (but never what I drink - I know, I know - but to be fair I log what I'm drinking if it has calories in it. Usually I just drink water or tea with Truvia in it), but I sort of want to be held accountable by a few people, too. I am not crazy about exercise at this point. Right now I'm focusing on my eating habits instead of overwhelming myself with everything. I don't always log into the full computer site, but I'm on the app every day.

FYI - posting a body shot was highly embarrassing for me, but I'm determined to do this and to do it without hiding things. I would really like other friends who don't cheat on their logs and tell it like it is (but nicely!). If you could use another friend, let me know!

Good luck with your goals!

    Hi ... I'm looking to drop 100-104 over in 18-24 months. I'm already down 39 since the beginning of the year.
    I've cleaned up my intake (see my diary), and I go for 3 walks per day, 20-30 mins each. VERY easy to fit into my schedule.
    I think you'll find that a little bit of exercise will make a big difference.

    Good luck!

    You can add me. I started January 6th and I have about 130 pounds to lose. I started logging my food this week and plan to do that every day from now on regardless if it is good or bad.

    It was NOT easy, and I still have about 70 to go? But, I am disabled with MS and that probably is why it has been harder for me. Lots of Rx drugs and only very light exercise. Feel free to add me.

    Congrats on your progress. I hope the last 70 go as well.

    I do not mean to diminish your achievement by calling it easy.

    For me I just found my TDEE and consistently eat less than that. Can't help but lose weight. I burn more than I take in.

    Feel free to add me. My long term goal is to loose 100 pounds. I started mid January and have lost 10 pounds so far. I'm working on my diet, because I have been an overeater the majority of my life. I am gradually adding more exercise.

    Thank you all for your replies. I hope I added everyone or requested everyone. I can use all the support I can get. You guys are ALL an inspiration. Some of you have really tried (and succeeded) and some of you are taking the first steps. It's all really a lot to be proud of!

    You are right about exercise. Since I've been eating less I've been feeling more energy to move. We are planning on buying an elliptical machine soon, but when it stops snowing I am going to start walking easily first. Right now I've started parking farther away from places and playing with the kids more! Last time I tried to just dive into exercise and screwed my weak knee up. That became an excuse and I stopped trying all together. This time I want to start slow and focus on one thing at a time.

    39 pounds is nothing to sneeze at! Great job!! :happy:
