edited September 22 in Introduce Yourself
I am new to this and have been doing the calorie counting thing for a few months. I have lost almost 20 pounds from when I started and I have not been super strict about it or about exercising. I need to lose for health and I want to have a baby in the next year with a healthy weight to start. Please send me motivational stories I am not to good at this whole diet thing. :flowerforyou:
I just wanted to say hi and Im here just like the rest of you.

    Hi! How funny that just minutes before your post, I also did an intro post with a title of losing 100lbs.
    Sounds like you're off to an amazing start! I like that you're going slow (like me.) My big fear is changing too fast before I'm ready then not knowing who I see in the mirror and being left with lots of loose skin. Ewwww! I'd rather go slow and steady and tighten up as I go along.

    Good luck! :wink:

    Hi and welcome :-)

    I too had to lose around 100lbs, I'm already down a bit.
    If you need motivation, take a look at the success stories, there you find plenty of motivation!
    There are stories from people who lost way more than 100lbs, with loads of pictures before/after. You'll find all the motivation you need to get your weight down.

    Welcome!!

    I just came here yesterday, so I'm a newbie too. I also want to lose 100lbs, in the long run. For the time being though, I'll settle for getting out of the plus sizes. But I won't stop when I hit that little goal!!!

    Welcome! This site is amazing :flowerforyou: I was a little over 200 when my husband and I decided we wanted to try for a baby. It took me a year and a half to get pregnant, and I did after I lost about twenty pounds. I'm here now losing the baby weight plus some. You can do it! We're here for you! :smile:

    Hi I am new to this site and need to lose about 100 pounds. I am ready to be that person who I don't mind looking at in the mirror. I am really bad about sticking to diets so hopefully with friends here on the site I will get the help and motivation I need to get moving.:happy:

    When I first started I had to get to kind of a selfish place. I would take some time to think about Future You and how much you care about her. How much she deserves to feel lighter, free-er, happier. How much that baby deserves to be born into a healthy, happy home. And then think about how MAD you'd be if someone was trying to keep those wonderful things from happening. Get a little mad, our society is designed to keep us fat. So take a second and say HEY, I AM WORTH THE WORK. Choose to say NO, in the future I will NOT be another obesity statistic. With every pound I lose I relieve the pressure, the stress on my heart, my bones, my joints, my emotions.

    You can do this!
