    Welcome! I started with a goal of 100 lbs (just seemed nice and even), and have 16 to go, although my goal is really going to end up more a body fat percentage and level of fitness, so I don't know what the final number will be.

    You can definitely do it! I think the most helpful things for me was breaking it into smaller chunks--lose 20 lbs, meet a fitness goal (whatever you like--I wanted to get back into running and biking, and am now interested in weights, but I started with just walking a certain about per day--always walking to the store and not driving, getting off at an earlier stop on the L to increase my walking, etc.), improving my eating (my first one here was just cooking breakfast and dinner consistently and logging) so on. It's overwhelming if you try to do everything at once, so I found it easier to pick a few small things and focus on them.

    I'm 5'4 and currently 267. I have a lot to loose. Right now I am aiming for 200. Its a smaller amount to look forward to. I eventually want to get to 145.

    Best of luck to you...I had just about given up; tried calorie app as a last ditch effort when someone told me about it. Started 12/1/13...so my one year anniversary is around the corner. Everyone is different, but I know I will always have to allocate calories for the rest of my life...small trade-off; only 25-20 more lbs. to go.

    Good luck, take it one day and one choice at a time! I've lost 65 pounds this year, and still have 45 or 50 to go. I'm not getting there in a hurry, but I'll get there. :D

    I started with 132 pounds to lose at a few pounds shy of 300 (my heaviest weight ever) in January. I have lost about 43 pounds in that time and still have about 90 pounds to go before I am considered a "healthy" weight. I try to take it one day at a time and not let one bad day turn into a string of bad days that make me want to quit. I have had days were I have did amazing by being under my calorie goals and exercising, then there have been other days that I didn't exercise and ate everything that wasn't nailed down. I had to look at those days and learn why I went over calories (birthday party, drinks with friends, lack of motivation, stressed out, emotional eating). I think you learn more from your failures than you do your successes and if you keep plugging away at it, you will eventually reach your goal.

    Feel free to add me, and anyone else can too that needs friends.

    Good luck on your weight loss. :)

    Feel free to add me, or anyone else that's looking for friends. I still have around 40 pounds to go but started out with 118 to lose. Like to think I've learned a few things on the way. Still a slow process but all in all I'm happy with how things are going. You can do this, I promise. Won't necessarily be easy, but once you're in a few months, it starts to become a habit and a way of life.

    You can do it! Thanks for putting yourself out there to all of us because that helps all of us face this together. I have about 70 to lose so I appreciate your honesty and everyone's motivation and sharing! Let's get healthy together. I am going to work in 10-15 pound pockets because the number 70 is daunting. Please everyone, continue to share because it will keep us all in check and just as the one person mentioned....no excuses!

    Started at 284. I am now 220. Basketball and Weights 1 every day made me lose 30lbs in 1 summer. Other than that just gradually moving to healthy eating and making sure I stayed active. If you need any tips, tricks, advice just let me know. Rough time for me on weight loss

    I'm on a journey to lose about 110-120 pounds.. 23 lost so far... I'm making pretty steady progress. I might reevaluate my goal as I get closer. I've been here on MFP 3 weeks now. Easy program; the hardest part is keeping myself accountable, lol, but it's working! Anyone who would like to can send me a friend request - we can help encourage each other :D
