    Oh and before I forget, 0 point fruits are evil. Watch out for them. That's the best advice I can give you.

    Hi, I'm also in the "over-100-to-lose" boat. I've struggled with my weight for most of my adult life. I quit smoking 8 years ago and that's where the real eating began. My doc said that smoking does the same damage to your heart as gaining 100 lbs. So right now, I might as well have not quit the cigs. I'm now the heaviest I've ever been. My goal is to lose 100 lbs and then see where I can go from there.

    I've been using my fitness pal for less than a week and I've already lost 2 lbs! Just from tracking what I eat! I'm pretty excited about the possibilities.

    WE CAN DO THIS!!

    As some one who "only" has about 45 pounds to lose (lat year it was 80 ponds:) I just wanted to say how soo much more brave, dedicated and amazing compared to me you must all be to make this happen. You inspire me. We can all only take one step at a time indeed. You shall prevail.

    I used to be 305lbs, went down to 179, and now up to over 200 again- and I want to lose around 75lbs! I know it's tough but my advice is to take 5lbs at a time, ENJOY ALL VICTORIES and the PROCESS~!

    Well they don't call me "The Heavy Revy" for no reason! (I'm a pastor) I hit my highest weight last year at 408 lbs. I'm a giant of a man, 6'7" tall with a seven foot wing span. SO I don't look like I weigh that much but I did. My joints will quickly tell you I DO weight that much! I'm 39 and feeling every pound! Battling Lyme Disease for eight years hasn't helped.

    I've now lost 34 lbs since the first of the year and feeling better. I still have 134 lbs to go. I'm living proof that ANYONE can do it! I've had atrocious eating habits for years. Finally starting to put it all together. My wife and I are both doing it together and that helps.

    Best if luck to you! Stick with it. You can do it, just takes time and commitment. I've learned there are no shortcuts worth taking.

    Anyone looking for a supportive friend, feel free to add. I'm a married man and a Christian, so you will get no "unwanted attention", just encouragement! ;-) God bless!

    Oh honey, dont EVER say that you shouldn't have quit smoking! Take it from me, you're so much better off! I work in a heart lab and see young people...18 was the youngest so far and he was a smoker....having heart attack every day because of cigarettes!

    I need to lose over 100 pounds as well, that is my main goal and then I will see where I need to go from there. I'm doing this one day at a time and I know I will get there. Now is the time and I am going to do it!

    Hello and welcome. I have about 160 to lose. I started off with 335 and and am down to 302. Each day is an accomplishment. I was ready to have gastric bypass but am determined to do it on my own. We can do this! I have learned that we have the tools in our hands we just have to use them correctly. Eat right and move, that is how you start. I have never joined weight watchers or other weight loss groups but have heard many success stories. Good Luck, the best part is that you have a whole support system right here.

    Keep up the great work! I think it's great that you're doing it on your own other than gastric bypass. I do believe that you have to do the same thing but the surgery can cause complications! You understand that- and I think it's important!

    So, how is everyone doing here? Any success stories? Anyone needing to vent about a slip up or share a story about a non-success situation?
