Hi I'm looking to lose 100 pound by the end of the year. I got married and have had a child within the last two years and have really let myself go and during this time I have not been paying attention to my diet and fitness. I'm now looking yo get back on track and want to be friends with anyone with the same goal of improving themselfs. Please add me and together we can all accomplish our goals!

    Great time to start! What kind of meal plan have you set for yourself? Are you planning to add any cardio routine?

    Best Wishes!

    Thank u very much. Average meal plan is a high fiber cereal in the morning, soup for lunch and either fish or chicken with rice and veg in the evening. And fruit for snacks during the day. Will also be walking to work 3 times a week which is 3.5 miles each way. How's your plan going?

    I'm so glad you decided to make those changes! 100lbs in a year can seem like a big task, but maybe if you break it down by month and by week, it'll be easier to stay motivated to make healthy lifestyle choices. :) best wishes!

    Welcome to the cool club ;) Well done for starting that change! I've still got almost 50 lbs to lose (30 so far). Feel free to add, love talking and motivating & my diary is always open!

    I'm in the same boat! I decided 100 pounds is less than 10 pounds per month. When you break it down like that it doesn't seem so difficult. Good luck to you!

    I'm looking to lose around 100lb in total. I'm cutting out all the snacks (which are my downfall) and thinking about portion control. I'm also going to start regular walking with a view to step it up to jogging/running in the future.

    I set my goal at 40 lbs in 6 months because I don't want to discourage myself but I am now on this since Dec 26 and it's asking me to weigh myself,, does anyone know how to record my weight loss in the journal? Thanks

    Hi. If your on the app go to the menu in the top left then go to progress. The in the top right there is a add button to input your current weight. Hope this helps.

    totally doable! weigh everything, log everything. get a HRM. Read everything, ignore almost all of it. two years ago i needed to lose 100 pounds and within close to a year I did. You can do it!!

    So proud of all of you and your determination! This will help me a lot since I don't have too much support at home. Least I don't feel like I am the only one in the world who struggles with weight!

    I am right there with you. I would love to lose 100 in 2015. I am looking to lose a total of 115 Lbs. So far I have started out good for the year. I am using a plan right now that basically follows the required calorie intake that MFP recommends but has more protein and less carbs. I am down 12 pounds from the beginning of the year. Feel free to add me.
