    Want to weight 180 pounds....needed to loose 185 pounds when I first started......this time.....lost 30 so far... So basically I need to loose an entire me....not too motivating when you think about it that way.

    Eye_Candy, DON'T think of it that way! 30 lbs is 3 equivalent to 3 (10 lb) bags of potatoes!!! That is terrific! Hope we can motivate and inspire each other!:heart:

    Like most of us I have been up and down, 305 the worst then I got diagnosed with Hypothyroid and lost 130. Gained it back and now hoping to lose 120# so I can definitely relate. This is a great site cause you really have to think about that food ending up in your diary and what it's overall effect is on your life. Good luck to all!!

    Well, I have decided to have my first and subsequent weigh ins on Monday(s). I think I need to do that in order to stay on track over the weekends. Wish me luck. This first weekend is going to be a challenge. Have a great day everyone.

    I sent you a friend request, I can relate with you all I also have around 110-120 I want to lose. I lost 89 pounds few years ago then due to blood clot then pregnancy I gained it and more back. Its been a hard fight but I know I can lose this weight and get back to being myself and loving the person I see in the mirror.

    well, as with all the rest of you i have over 100 lbs to lose...200 to be exact. i started on 1.11.11 and have not looked back. this site is awsome for support and more importantly for me accountability. i actualy have changed what i am going to have to eat for a meal because it will put me over on something in my log. it is not easy but i think we are all more than worth the effort. i lost 100 lbs about 7 years ago and gained it back plus some. no one to blame but myself and fast food! i wish each and everyone who has decided to take this journey...the very best of luck. if anyone wants to friend me....i welcome the support and will return the favor!!

    I am here for support and friendship, i have about 113 to lose now, having so far lost 41 pounds this year. I have been up and down for so many years now :sad: I would lose some then get pregnant and put it all back on, no more babies for me now :laugh: after having 2 c-sections! So i am determined to lose this weight now once and for all!! Joining this site was the best thing i could of done!! Good luck to everyone if we all stick together we will get there together :happy:

    Ultimately I have about 100 lbs or more to lose, but I can't think about the larger goal or I get overwhelmed and discouraged. So, I'm just focusing on losing 10 lbs at a time.

    Since January I've lost 16 lbs, 7 of it since I joined MFP. It's not fast weight loss, and it's been up and down some, but I'm not trying to lose it fast. I'm trying to lose it permanently. So, no matter how slow, I'm still losing. I don't care if it takes me forever.

    Every 10 lbs makes me feel better. Good luck to you all as you begin and continue your journey.
