Looking for those who have 100 + to lose

:happy: Hi Laura
I am 43 and have over 100lbs to lose. I have been here 2 weeks and have lost 2 lbs so far. I started at 284 lbs and my ideal weight is 133lbs. Take every day at a time - baby steps to reach your goal. I'm with ya! x:happy:

Good Morning my Monday Mavens! How is everyone today. I am doing excellent. I weighed in at work this morning for the biggest loser and lost 3 pounds this week. Only one more week for the contest and I am ahead (by a little) and have lost 29 pounds. I will be totally ecstatic even if I only hit 1 pound nest week.

My dinner last night was great! I kept it withing my calorie goal for the day. My family didn't notice any difference except my sister asked what kind of spaghetti I used as it was really good. At that point I had to confess it was whole wheat and they were all surprised. Tee, hee:laugh:

Laura- congrats on the loss this week.

I have noticed that when I am at work, I drink more water. I keep a large glass on my desk and everytime I empty it I immediately get up to refill it. I don't know if it is because I secretly want to spend more time in the bathroom as opposed to working or what. I am not talking a little more. I mean like Mon - Thur I drink 12-14 cups of water at work then another 2 or 3 at home but on the weekend I am usually standing at the kitchen sink before bed getting #8 in. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hello everyone! I have over 100 lbs to lose and look forward to the support of this group. I have been on MFP for 2 weeks but just got into the community section today.

Hello and happy Tuesday! Welcome new posters. We love to have you.

Yesterday, was the first time that I intentionally went over my calories for the day. Well maybe not intentionally but I knew that if I ate the cupcake instead of fruit after dinner that I was going to be over but not by too much. I had been craving red velvet cake for 3 days and tried eating other things instead but it just wasn't cutting it. So, last night I went down to Starbuck's and bought one (no latte, no hot chocolate, no nothing else). You know what? It was good. And my craving is gone. So today, I will put a little extra oomph in my workout to try to make up for it a little. So has anybody else had any cravings? What did you do?

I'll check back in when I log my lunch. Happy losing.

Hey guys I'm relatively new to the site and I am also looking to lose 100+ lbs. I weighed 348 lbs 2 weeks ago. I currently weigh 340 and would like to eventually get down to the 200 lbs range. Another mini goal for me is to lose weigh and try to be under 300 lbs by my wedding which is June 4 of this year. If anybody would like to add me as a friend and help me by encouraging me it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello my Wonderful Wednesday Wonders of Weight loss. I kept getting an error message when I tried logging in this morning so I am a little late with my greeting today. Welcome to the new posters!

I just have to say I love this website. My hubby had used a different one in the past and just started tracking again on Monday. So we were sitting down after dinner last night and I put my dinner in in just a minute or two and he kept asking me how I got done so fast. So today while at work I got an email from him asking the name of the website I use because it seemed much simpler than his.

I made a discovery today. I found a "new to me" bagel in my gorcers bakery. They are Thomas Bagel Thins. 110 calories per bagel. They are about the size of a regular bagel sliced in half (like you would for putting cream cheese & lox on it). So they are thinner than a regular bagel. But of course my reason for eating the bagel os just for the good stuff I put on it so thinner is fine by me. I made a turkey, cranberry, light cream cheese sandwich on one for lunch today. Delicious!

I will try to check in again at dinner time, in the mean time happy losing.
