in Getting Started
Hi, I replied to a previous post by someone looking to lose 100 lbs and found a few fellow MFP buddies, but the post was old and not many people seem to be around still. So...new attempt! Anyone have a significant amount to lose? I have been losing weight on my own before I found MFP - but I am loving it here! I'm hoping to find a few more MFP friends who are trying to lose a significant amount of weight.


My stats:

Highest weight recorded 323.1 (probably more like 330 at my highest)
Current weight 280.7
Height 5'8
Age 31
Starting size 24/26
Current size 22/24
Plan - I eat everything in moderation, haven't eliminated anything, just watching calories and getting 10k steps per day.

    I'd like to lose 95lbs or so. Any loss is a good one. At least 60lbs for sure. Trying to lose it by Valentine's day! It's aggressive, but I've done it before and hope to do it again!

    I'd love to be of support!

    Hi! I was once 285 (2008). THIS time when I started losing, I was 267. 237 (I think) when I started logging foods 289 days ago. I was a size 20 & now almost 32 pounds lighter & a size 16, I still have 59 pounds to go :) YOU CAN DO IT! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

    I have 106 to lose and I am halfway there! I am doing it the natural way; eat less and move more. Tracking calories on MFP has really been the key to my success so far. Good luck to you!

    Hi,

    This is my very first post in MFP. I'm wanting to loose a total of 82 lbs. Sounds like so much...I have PCOS which makes loosing weight very challenging. Though, I'm working towards making some major lifestyle changes with hopes of reaching my goals. Looking for some MFP as support.

    I've lost 53 and still have about 140 left to go. No time limit. I didn't gain it overnight and I won't lose it that way either. I eat most things in moderation, though I have recently converted to pescatarian (sort of vegetarian, but still eat seafood). Feel free to add me!

    I am also looking to lose 100 pounds - hoping by next summer.

    I will be changing things up. Right now, I am cutting calories - eating in moderation.

    This week's challenge was to cut out creamer in coffee & increase water - while eating healthier. Day 3, so far so good.

    I am also part of a weight loss group at work that just started this past Monday. We weigh in on Monday's and for every pound we gain, we pay $1. The money goes towards a healthy lunch the Friday before Labor Day.

    And great job everyone!! :happy:

    I lost 50 pounds 2 years ago - and then gained it back and then some. Some of it was eating.. some of it has been thyroid meds.

    I want to lose 50 lbs by March 2015. My aim is to be carb, calorie, & portion aware and be consistent about exercise and movement.
    It's also important to me to focus on whole foods and retrain my brain to eat mindfully. Tired of kidding myself, then waking up to find myself back at square one! Sound familiar, anyone? So, hoping for some support & accountability.

    CONGRATS CHICK! :) My goal is to lose another 25 pounds to get back to my lowest weight!!
    I actually lost 64 pounds total when I was at my lowest... add some personal junk & backsliding & I gained some back.
    I know I don't have as much to lose as you all but I can definitely relate to it! I still struggle with the "mental" weight/pounds!

    feel free to add me, peeps!! just make sure to add a message, please!

    I have about 75 lbs more to lose. I'm hoping to lose it by October 2015. Some say its a long time, but I'm taking this process slow. It took a little while to gain, so it's going to take a little while to lose.

    Welcome! I have about 100lbs to lose. I'm trying so hard to be patient, but I just want all the weight gone NOW. So I log regularly and keep pretty strict to always ending the day in the black on calories. Add if you'd like.

    Hey guys! I need to lose 65lbs and have tried everything....I usually lose about 10 lbs and then it gets really hard and I give up:sad:

    So a good friend of mine lost over 100 lbs using MFP and of course exercise but nothing to crazy radical...walking, riding a bike! She looks amazing! She is now doing the weight lifting thing and is nice a toned up. She is truly an amazing person.

    So this is what I have tried:
    Advocare
    Quick Weight Loss Centers
    Nutrisystem
    Medifast
    RedCircle
    WeightWatchers
    MFP

    The problem with some of these is I'm good for about a month then all the sudden the food tastes horrible (the ones that have prepackaged food) which is really weird. Does this happen to anyone?

    I did have surgery that left me without being able to exercise for 8 weeks...that really put a damper on my weight loss efforts. So basically I am starting over. I had lost 25 lbs before I knew I had to get an abdominal hysterectomy....Had 15 staples in my stomach...so no lifting or jogging for 6 weeks... gained back 15!

    anyway,
    would love to join an online support group...any takers?
