    I have at least 140 lbs. to lose (according to the calculations of a nutritionist). I guess if I followed height/weight for BMI, the nutritionist is right. I look at that number and feel overwhelmed. Anyone wanting to add me, please do so.

    I started last January (2014) with 110 to lose.
    Had gotten rid of 73 of those by the end of last year. When I look back, I'm still amazed.
    You (all of you) CAN do this!

    Persistence, stubbornness, stick-to-it-iveness... whatever you want to call it, get some.
    Just don't give up. If you give up, things won't change. If you keep trying, they can change.
    Screw up one day? That's one day. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, figure out what you need to change, change it, & do better next time.

    Also, make changes a little at a time.
    - Don't suddenly go from eating 3000 cal/day (to support a 300 lb person) to 1500. Maybe start with 2500 for a month or so, then when you stop losing weight, drop another 100 calories.
    - With exercise, start where you are, with what you can do. Walk to the end of the driveway if that's all you can do right now. Do it again in an hour. And again. And do it tomorrow. Next week, do it twice. The next week, walk to the neighbor's driveway. You get the idea.

    Set small goals: every 5 lb, every time you drop 1 BMI number, etc.
    Find rewards that you can attach to those goals: cute socks, new earbuds, a walk in a state park you've been meaning to visit, a massage, a movie, a bubblebath with candles & a novel.

    Take measurements. I do mine every 2 weeks.

    Take pictures. Even if you never show them to anyone else, you _will_ want to see your own progress. And I bet when you get 50, 75, 100 lbs down you'll want to share them, cringe-worthy as they are.

    I did a blog post about motivation.

    What exactly are you "cleansing" yourselves of?
    And how are you doing that, more than what your body usually does to remove waste (liver, kidneys, skin, lungs)?

    I have more than 100 pounds to lose. I have no support. I just have family that laughed at me the other day when I said I lost 6 pounds. They made it like the scale is wrong. Little do they know I have lost over 40 pounds.
    How awful they did that to you!!! :angry: :sob::unamused:
    Good for you for achieving so much this far, all on your own!!! :awesome:
    Most of my support is here, too. I do check in with my doctor every couple of months.

    @MKEgal, I am doing a vegan cleanse for 6 days. The nutrients in the shake I drink help cleanse the liver and kidneys. I have seen my triglycerides go from 300 to 120 and my cholesterol from 230 to 178. Many foods can help you help your body function at its best. I like the cleanse because it helps me not crave junk food as a I start a clean eating program. You can cleanse more slowly by cutting out processed foods and fried foods. Adding in garlic, tomatoes, asparagus, avocado,spinach, lemon carrots and cilantro. Just to name a few "cleansing " foods.

    I only have one kidney so making sure I give my body all the help it can get is number one priority. Weight loss is part of that.

    Well please add me, I am new to this site, but not new with the trying to loss some weight. I have had a very stressful past 4 years, finally getting out of a dead end marriage and wanting to finally take care of me. I am 269 my first goal is to find a good support group. I am trying to make small changes such as walking on a treadmill for a mile and trying to incorporate clean eating to my nutrition. Any ideas for clean eating welcomed;)

    I am so glad to find others with the same goal! My plan is to lose 100 lbs in 1 year. I am currently at 230 and started the count down on the 1st of the year. I am starting off on Medifast. I mistakenly started that right before Thanksgiving. So I paused for the holidays. If anyone wants to add me or however one gets involved in these discussions. Please do
