I'm needing to lose about 150 lbs and I don't want to fail. I don't have a lot of support. My family and friends don't understand how hard it is to lose that much weight they say just do it is not that hard!

    I have 90 to lose...feel free to add me! I am currently 240 and would like to be 150 or less. We are seeing a fertility specialist this week, so I would like to have a healthy pregnancy when/if I do get pregnant. I've done this on my own so many times (not that husband isn't supportive, but he hasn't been participating), but he seems motivated to lose weight and track his food and exercise this time, so I'm hoping it'll be easier to do, especially if I feel like my efforts are helping him, too.

    Hi to all who need the support.....

    The best place to begin is at the beginning.

    All you have to do is lose 1 pound xxx times. Not xxx pounds, all at once.

    That kick to get it done comes from inside....

    The fact you are reaching out and being honest about your struggle is a sign of growth and progress, for which you should be commended. Take comfort in that.

    The difference between MFP and everything else? If you adopt the mindset that its a lifestyle change & not a diet, the rest will fall into place.

    The past is done. The future will be here soon enough. Try and focus on today & today only. Its all we have to work with.

    6.5 months ago, I weighed 312 pounds. I woulda been dead in 5 years if I hadn't made this commitment. All signs were pointing that way.

    Just a few things the MFP tribe and common sense has taught me:

    1) This is a thing you DO, not a definition of who you ARE. Just like laundry. Take the emotion out of it wherever possible. I cannot stress this enough.

    2) My approach? This is a lifestyle change, not a diet. So there is no finite number of days that I am trying to get to. I will be logging in and logging food for the rest of my life, because:

    a) This program works
    b) I don't want to die young and I was headed that direction

    3) Try to remember - We are the results of the choices we make every day, whether those choices are good or bad. Make as many good choices as you can, and the ship will stay steady. At the end of the day, we are the man in the mirror. We are accountable to ourselves and no one else. We can help you with getting there, but the doing is up to you. Leave rationalizing at the door, and continue to be honest with yourself. Its the only path to long term success

    Cal tracking is considered a good choice (whether boring or not) because it tells you where you really are (just like your check register tells you your balance) - remember to be honest with yourself all the time. Ultimately, you will achieve that which you are seeking much sooner.

    Knowing that plus the support I get from my MFP buds make enough difference that Ive lost 50 in 235 days without doing anything stupid. You just find what works and then hammer the crap out of it, staying in the present while doing so.

    If you will stay committed to this, your MFP tribe will commit to helping. Why? Because that's what we do. And we have ALL been there.

    You only get one chance to live your life.

    Please feel free to add me if you would like some help along the journey

    Definitely add me! I log in daily and post weekly :-)

    I run monthly biking challenges, too. Biking is easy on your joints when you're starting off plus it's a good way to get muscle. If you are interested, you can join at: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/101528-bikejanuary

    I also have a lot of weight to lose. So far I've lost 40 lbs over the course of 2013-2014, but I've got another 80 lbs to go and I'm hoping to lose it all or most of it in 2015. I just started using MFP this week (switched over from LoseIt) so I don't have any friends yet. Feel free to add me!
