100+ pounds to loose, lets all talk

I,m Sandra, 47, 5,5, have about 60-70 still to lose. I have lost about 40-50 already since Aug 2015, but need to keep motivated to lose more and sometimes need a good kick in the butt here and there, like over the holidays when I had a couple really bad mess up days. I can see summer right around the courner and don,t want to be the huge fatty hiding from or on the beach, I know if I can just keep going I will be decent on the beach and can do a lot more of what I want to this year coming up. I want to bike again, try standup paddle boarding, kayak, there are so many things I have missed doing but so want too. Don,t know if people are using this as a group chat as one person suggested or adding each other. feel free to add me.

I have about 100 to lose as well (I haven't weighed recently to know my exact weight). Feel free to add me as a friend.

I have bookmarked this thread, so I can revisit throughout 2015, it would be nice if it would survive.
I have started and stopped weight loss more times than I can count. I really need 2015 to be good to me and I need to find my motivation that will push me forward or at least sheer determination.
I feel sooo heavy, even walking seems like a chore, so when I see some people posting their new year resolutions that involve running I am in ave.
My new years resolution is for once to stick to my new years resolution
Let's do this together! I have 100 lbs to lose but would be more than happy with 80 lbs, a dream in fact

HELLO, MY PEOPLE.

Anyone can feel free to add me as well. I've got 150 or so pounds that have got to go myself. Already lost 20 so far, and hoping not to re-find them. Seeing other people in my same boat killing it as well really helps with motivation.

Good morning all. I am feeling really good today. A little over on calories yesterday. But I did spin class and a swim. Today is a WO with the trainer and some cardio. Measurements today. Usually I dread this but I am feeling rather thin today so maybe it won't be so bad.

when i started i had 50-60kg to lose, that's like 120 pounds for those not on metric. no idea exactly because i didn't have scales that went higher than 150kg.

I have now lost 20-30kg depending on my start weight (I know i have definitely lost 44 pounds so far). My goal at the moment is to get under 100kg which is still overweight for my height but its a nice round number/goal. Maybe i wont reach that weight because i will bulk up muscle wise :P

so if i was to get to a healthy weight i will have lost 60-70kg. SIGH that's a big number and going to take a while.

Need to loose 100! Feel free to add me as well:)

I have been trying to lose weight over the last few year have ballooned to over 300 lbs and once again I am starting the journey.

In my mind I am very positive but I am looking for support and to give support to others that are going through a similar journey.

I have lost 25 - 30 lbs in the pasts but have then gained it back.

This time I am more determined than ever I am 50 years old with a 7 year old kid who feel that life could be so much better and more active if I could loss weight.

I have started to research various methods that others have used to lose weight and maintain their weight lose and I now realise that this is a journey and a challenge that require both support and change in my habits.

One of the successful habit techniques that people are suggesting is to create process and don't be fixated by results.

For example think on achieving your daily calorie and exercise goals and tick this off on a calendar. Your focus now becomes creating a string of tickets on the calendar. If you have a bad day you then just restart the string and aim to beat your longest string. This then removes that thought we all have that one bad day ruins your progress. It allows you to accept the bad day and move on to create another series of strings.

I am going to try this as in the past one failure has lead to others. Have others people go similar strategies they are thinking of using or have been successful in the long run?

I also need to loose 120 lbs. I would love to be able to talk to someone about this journey we are facing.

I have about 100# more to lose also. I was doing good (lost 37) and I got stressed due to the holidays. I need more motivation and encouragement. Thank you for this blog... Sometimes I feel like I'm alone.

Please add me. I have about 190 lbs to lose. I lost 140 lbs about 5 years ago and through some tough situations went right back up to where I was before. This whole 2014 I have been struggling to stay on a diet or exercise. I really would like some advice or some support.

I started with over 130 to lose, and am down 50lbs so far. Still have a long road to hit my goals, and will be here for a long time during maintenance. Anyone please feel free to add me.

Hello all and Happy New Year.
I lost over 60 pounds this year. How did I do that you say.
1200 to 1300 calories a day, more protein than carbs.
I do some type of fitness activity every day.
Weight training, yes you have to build muscle so you can burn your fat.
I take about one day off a month for food and fitness.
I weigh and measure all my food and track every bite excepting my day off.
I track every sip of water, yes I drink 12 to 16 glasses a day.
Not soda, not coffee, not tea - water
A year ago I weighed in the 260's, today was 202. So close to Onderland.
Today I can dead lift 160 pounds, push a 45 pound sled the length of the basketball court 10 times, I can do a 1 minute plank.
My favorite motivational quote this year:

"Rome was not built in a day, but they worked on it every single day."

This reminds me I have to work at this every day, every meal, every snack, every sip, every move, EVERY DAY.
YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!!!

I am on my way to losing over 100 pounds (lost 30 so far) and am looking to connect with more people for mutual support. Together we can all have a great 2015!
