I was just wondering if there are any other people out there who have a WHOLE lot to lose. I need to lose around 200 lbs. It's a whole different ball park than losing 20 or 30 lbs. Is there anyone else out there like me?

    I have 72 pounds to remove! I removed 8 lbs so far, 4 since starting MFP.

    Always nice to have friends to support!
    You can do it!!

    When i first started this my goal was 127 pounds away. I would really like to lose 15 pounds more than my goal weight but I will decide how far I want to go once I get there because 127 pounds as much as it is sounds more attainable than 147 pounds. I am taking it one day at a time and seeing where it will take me. You can do this too :-) Good luck :flowerforyou:

    When I started trying to loose weight I had 122lbs to loose... being ALMOST 5'0" tall that was about half my overall weight.

    I still have 85 to go...

    It doesn't matter if you have 20lbs or 200lbs to lose, take it day by day and do the best you can, Stay positive,do what exercise you can manage, plan your meals well and stay in contact with people on MFP because we are all here to help each other.

    My name is Jennifer I started at 225 the most ever in my life, I am only 26- I am currently down to 189 and have about 30 or 40 more to lose. It's going so slow but mostly because I didnt get it in my mind THIS IS A LIFESTYLE CHANGE not a diet. Now I am hopefully on track. We shall see!

    I have 120 pounds to lose. I have only been on here a few days. The exercise has gotten a bit easier. The food intake is not going well at all.

    57 of 100 even gone. There are many of us. Just keep on going and soon you really notice the difference. When I started I could not finish 10 minutes on a mild incline on a treadmill. Now I routinely row 6-8 miles, followup with bike for 20 minutes, walk 3-4 times a week. it get to be the thing you look forward to because the reward is tremendous. PLUS the folks on this website are absolutely the most supportive people I have ever met.

    I started out at 405 and I'm at 376 right now :) still 200 to lose but this site is helping a ton - very motivational and inspirational! I've been here just over 60 days and I've lost 29lbs - not too shabby! I like that I'm not dropping 8lbs a week or something crazy!! I wanted to lose 2lbs a week but some weeks have been more - I hope to hit the 2lbs a week thing and stay on that track until I'm done! (wishful thinking but still :p )
