100 + pounds to lose anyone?

3 years ago I was almost 280 pounds. My lowest was 208. I'm back at 215.8 and am trying to lose to at least 160-170 so that I can get all my extra skin removed...I get depressed because I have rheumatoid arthritis and it hurts to work out, but I am motivated to get healthy for my 3 year old son and to feel better. Please add me if you would like!

How do u invite someone to be on

I have 100+ pounds to lose, and I could really use the support. I've been following my plan religiously for the past 2 weeks and haven't lost a single pound. :-( It's discouraging and makes me want to quit. Going to keep at it, though!

Feel free to add me anytime - initially I want to lose 100-120 but my absolute ideal goal is to lose 134lbs, I'm currently 274lbs and I think for my height and build 140 is the ideal for me personally. It's a bit above the 'middle' of my 'ideal weight range', but still within it, but I think any less and it wouldn't suit me too much. I previously lost 84lbs in 6 months, then gained back about 14-20lbs over a couple of years of back to being sedentary... I'm back to exercising now, but it's not dropping off as quick as last time, so it must be my age lol (33 this Sunday coming! ) Hopefully once I'm back to a routine after these holidays the food will be even better controlled and I'll push the exercise a bit more and see what happens in a week or two!

I'm in.....new to my fitness pal but I've been on my journey since Dec 1, 2013. Started at 294.4 100lbs is the weight loss goal. 6 week weigh in tomorrow....feel free to add me.....wish me luck!!!!

I have 100 pounds to lose and I am new here as of today ...Anyone is welcome to add me

I have 180 to lose in total. I've already lost 50 of them.

I have at lest 150 to if not a good 200, so I'll be at this for while, feel free to add me, anyone can in fact. Good luck to everyone!

I ideally need to lose 241 lbs. But would settle for just the 200! Add me so we can help each other out!

Please add me I need friends to take this journey with...

I've got over 100++ pounds to lose. Your welcome to add me as a friend for support / motivation.

I'm here in the US. I am starting....again....at 351, so far I've lost 0.8lbs last week....horrible week to begin with. But working towards getting to the 175lbs goal I was when I met my husband 8.5 years ago. Feel free to add me!

MFP is simply a way to record calories in and out. It is pretty simple - when our calories out exceed our calories in we lose weight. 1 pound requires about a 3000 calorie deficit.

The problem with stuff like medifast for me is that I know I have to change the way I live and special food plans are not how I live. So I'm simply using MFP to help me make better choices in food selection and as making sure I eat less.

MFP lets you set calorie goals based on your current weight and a desire to stay even, lose up to 2 pounds per week in 1/2 ld increments, or gain up to 2 lbs per week in 1/2 pound increments.

I think the lower increments are there because of research indicating that smaller losses per week are more sustainable over the long run. There are studies that indicate otherwise too.

I set my goals are 1.5 weight loss per week and then make sure to record what I am eating. If I go over today, well I just do. Also I am not trying to record every bit of ketchup or butter - I am aware of those amounts but I know if I try to capture it all I'll get frustrated and quit. So I set my goal at 1.5 per week and I am way happy with 1 lb per week.

Lost 65 lbs that way last year on my way to losing 200.


So you would simply record all of what you are eating of your medifast foods in MFP to record calories. If you are doing something really low in calories then MFP is going to warn you to eat more.

Good luck! Or should I say welcome to the hard work of losing - there is no magic pill and there is no luck about it. Just eat less and more around more.

I have a 110 more pounds to take off. I will do my best to support you. So if you are looking for a cheerleader on your team please feel free to add me.
