Hi All,

This is my first post, and my first day with MFP. I guess I'm just looking for guidance and support, and if anyone would like to join my journey, or me to join yours please feel free to add me as a friend.
I'm told having support while your trying to lose weight is one of the most important tools you could have......

    Hey! I started my weightloss at 236 pounds and I've now lost almost a hundred pounds, so I would love to be a supporter of yours in any way :)

    Welcome!! I've found this place to be really helpful and supportive. There are a number of us here with a lot to lose, so you fit right in!! Tracking your food on here helps so much, and I've found it makes me plan out what I'm going to eat to stay on track. Take care, and I hope you find this site encouraging! :)

    I, myself, am trying to lose over 100lbs. More like near 200. But I am taking it step by step. Because each step is progress! You can friend me if you'd like and we can support each other!

    Hello all. I too am looking to lose 150lbs. I started my journey on May 23, 2010 and have lost 86 lbs so far. I have struggled daily because I do not have the support at home. My husband wants me to stay big and I want to get smaller. My goal right now is to lose 20 more lbs by May 23, 2011. That would be a little over 100 and that would make me very happy. I would love to have friends to chat with and for moral support. I have learned a few tricks along the way and would be willing to share with anyone that is interested.

    Good luck to all of us! We deserve it!

    Starting weight: 350lbs
    Current weight: 266lbs

    This is a great site for motivation! I started with at least 100 pounds to lose (maybe a little more once I get there), and I am over half way there! I truly believe this website has been a huge part of my success. It's awesome to have the support of so many people with a common goal. A few months ago I never thought this possible, and now I know it's just a matter of time before I am where I want to be....I will add you and we can support each other :)

    I need to lose 100 pounds as well. My biggest goal right now is to just get back under the 200lb mark. Slow and steady....that's what I keep telling myself!

    I too need to lose at least 100 pounds. I've spent most of my life being overweight and have decided that it's time for a change. I just started working out two weeks ago and I'm already down four pounds. I started off my first day of exercise with the idea that I wanted to change my appearance for someone else, but after my first workout was finished, I decided that this was all for me. I was tired and a little sore, but I felt great! I was shocked by all the support I received from my friends once I made a post on Facebook that I was starting to workout. I've had several of them jumping on the train with me. I think the support from others will be key for me. :smile:

    Hi all, another member of the 100+ club checking in. I've been on this site since late December and it's great. It's really amazing to see what's actually in the foods I'm eating and be able to track it all. My biggest enemies are carbs and sodium, so I've really gotta kick the sugar-soda habit. So far so good, I just need to stay on track. I hit the wall about 2 weeks in, but stayed with it and saw progress again after a few days. Persistence definitely pays off. Good luck to everyone with their journey here and all friends welcome!

    Welcome! I'm in the same boat as you, trying to lose a little over 100 lbs here myself.

    There is a support group in the Motivation and Support section that you might want to check out that has 100+ pound loss goals as a theme. I'd link directly to it, but it moves quickly so a new thread gets made often!

    There's a 100 pounds to lose support thread here
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/161904-need-to-lose-100-lbs-or-more-lets-start-a-group?page=6#

    There's an over 300 pound club thread here:
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/160084-the-over-300-club

    There's also at least 2- 200 pounds to lose threads (sorry can't find it).

    Most of the groups, challenges, and support threads are on the message board in the MOTIVATION area of the message board. Hope this helps.

    Personally I find joining these long threads pretty great, everyone is supportive.

    Amen to big girls needing love too! It is so hard being a big girl in this day in age. Everyone expects us to be a size zero and have a flawless body. Well thaat is SO not reality. I would love to join you because as you said. Support is the most important thing!

    Welcome! This is a great place to get support. I crossed the 100 lbs. lost line last week, so I know it possible! Only 30 more to go to my goal weight!

    I am so happy I found this site. The people are amazing and it really does hold me accountable for what I'm eating and that I need to work out. I'm hoping to lose 100+, but a shorter goal is to lose 50 by Aug when I go back to school (hopefully for a masters if i get accepted). So what I'm really saying is: thank you everyone who are sharing their goals and accomplishments. I wish the best for everyone :)
