Hello

I have been using myfitness pal for a week now and it has helped me a great deal, I needto connect with others who have 100+ lbs to lose for support. This has beena hard journey for me. However I am sticking to it and will not stop until the weight is off and I am healthy.

    Hey im just starting too, and im trying to lose about 110lbs so far im doing ok, saturday was a bust- family dinner at texas roadhouse and i broke down and i ordered a prime rib.. i felt terrible after and the disappointment i felt will hopefully be a good lesson for the future. My husband doesnt make it easy by eating all the stuff i used to eat but "cant" anymore. I think it will make me a stronger person every time i say no to anything fattening!

    I have 175lbs or so to lose. I am in this for the long haul and found MFP really helps me think about what I am eating. Add me, we can support eachother along the way. Good luck!

    I also have a 100+ to lose I have lost and gained and lost and gained all my life !! I know it has to be a lifestyle change and not just a temporary diet! I had lost 115lbs but I have gained nearly 25lbs back this has been such a struggle for me I want to lose it so bad and it seems like everyday I have my mind made up that I can do it but by the end of the day Im eating any and everything and then get mad at myself because I do it. Does any one else have this problem? This is a wondeful place with lots of support and encouragement, hopefully we can all keep each other motivated ! Please feel free to friend me, We can all do this together!!!!

    Well welcome to MFP! I don't have 100+ lbs to lose but I did when I joined on Feb.22, 2010. I had about 130 to 140 to lose. Now a year later I only have 20 to 30 to lose. I have lost 106 lbs just using this site, logging my food, drinking my water and eventually adding lots of exercise. I am 56 years old, have A LOT going on in my life (work full time, have a husband with Alzheimer's, kids and grandkids with issues) and even with all that I have done it. If I can do it I know you ALL can. There were some rough days but each day I reminded myself of a saying I saw someone post when I was new. "Losing weight is not a race...it is a journey." And I decided that was how I was going to approach this. The rest of my life will be that journey toward making myself the healthiest I can be. Yes, I remember how excited I was when I lost 20 or so lbs and could paint my toes. And when I could walk up steps without stopping to rest a million times. I DEFINITELY remember when I could shop for "regular" size clothing! I am now in a size 12 heading to a size 10! I never thought it was possible. I was in a 24 heading to a 26 when I started! I can see my collar bones, feel my hips, the list is endless! Good luck to you all and PLEASE just stick it out. When it is a rough day just say "I can DO this TODAY". And if you do mess up just pick yourself up (DON'T beat yourself up) and start over the next meal or the next day.

    I can completely relate :) My overall goal is to lose 125. I started using MFP after I had already lost 27 lbs. I still have 90 lbs to go. I truly enjoy the site and I love reading the stories of people who have lost large amounts of weight. Very inspiring to me and encouraging.

    Good luck on your journey :) I have complete faith in you and all of us!

    Hi! I just joined today and have over 100 to lose. I still have to look over the site so I know how things work. Just have the very basics right now. But I'm hopeful! Looks like a lot of support here!
