That's what I need to lose ... so far I've lost 8 lbs.

Is there anyone else who needs to lose this much weight?

    Hi there

    Congratulations on your 8 lb loss. I know that it is never easy.

    I need to lose at least a 176 lbs but I would like to lose 186 to get to 150. I have lost at least 10 to 12 lbs to date.
    If you want to keep in touch with me by all means just drop me a line.

    Keep up the good work.

    My goal is to lose 100 pounds and that will bring me to 170. the weight I should be according to my height is 153, so I guess my goal should be 125 pounds....so far I've lost 15 in just under 3 weeks...so I know it's doable!!

    Best Wishes to you...keep in touch and stay motivated!! We can do this!!

    I needed to lose 102 lbs to hit 150. So far I have lost 30 and seem to be able to change my eating pattern to a healthier low calorie and low fat plan. Keep with it. If one day you go a little overboard just start right back in the next day. I guess this time ,trying to lose, thats the biggest difference for me. If i mess up one day I just get right back on the plan the next day. I changed my eating habits starting Nov. 15th and feel so much better with just the 30 off..........................no more knee pain already!! And I already have alot more energy. Keep with it.............................it is so worth it!!

    I've lost 75 so far. Started at 259. I still have at least 50 to go. It's a long road, but well worth it! Lowering the cholesterol, blood pressure and feeling just generally better. It's taken me 4 years to get this far. Exercise, and no sugar, no flour diet is working for me. Slowly lose the weight. It stays off better. It's a lifestyle change, though. Stick with it, and keep up the good work! Chris.

    My goal was to lose 100 pounds...so far I've lost 20!!!!!! I know it seems overwhelming to look at the big picture of what you want to lose, but just take small steps...5 pounds at a time, and it's not so hard...Good Luck to you! You can do this!! :wink:

    I'm 11 lbs into a 130 loss. This is a VERY motivating thread to me!

    I feel an improvement already, in part to exercising. My legs have gotten really weak, in addition to developing 2 herniated discs in my neck from working at the computer). I have bad knees (no surprise). So, since I started a week and a half ago, I've been doing 10 mins on the elliptical trainer daily (high elevation and high resistance). I feel a very noticeable improvement already in my legs and overall.

    So that's where I'm at--about getting my body stronger through exercise and weight loss. For weight loss, I did medifast for 1 week to get a jump start. Now, I'll be counting calories the rest of the way. I'm also doing Overeaters Anonymous online and plan to start attending meetings in person next Monday. I have *got* to get my health on track. So, that's my plan.

    Count me in for offering help/support!

    Personally I need to lose about 164 ... however, I am just setting a 2lbs per week goal. Today I started logging my calories, If anyone wants to e-mail me just to keep in touch please do. I need all the help and support I can get. magundis@yahoo.com

    Hi there!

    Yep I have 144lbs to lose. I joined here Jan. 8 and in 2 weeks I am down 9lbs. Staying focused on one day at a time instead of the big picture helps me. I still have days that I have a hard time getting through, but this site really helps! We can do this! :smile: :happy: :flowerforyou:

    I was also looking for people with this much to lose. Check back a couple of days on e thposts and you will see a 75+++ thread. A lot of people posted on that one too.
    Maybe we should just do a daily one.

    Anyways, I need to lose another 137 I think. I've lost 12 so far. Long road but WE CAN DO IT!!!!

    I agree to having one forum where we can all post - maybe one of you could start a challenge or weigh-in page where we could all start together on Feb. 1??

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention - I have 105 left to lose, and I've lost about 7 since Jan. 1.

    I didn't mean to imply that one of you "had" to start a challenge, I just meant that I didn't want to take over what you both have started. But I'm going to start a new challenge, and I hope you'll all want to join in!:flowerforyou:

    I have at least 97 pounds to go. It's been tough, but there's a lot of people in the same boat as us.
    My father used to tell me "one step at a time son, one step at a time" I know it's going to be a long journey. But the rewards of losing weight, will be awesome.:noway:
    Good luck:drinker:

    Yeah, I always try to remind myself if I just loose a pound a week, is a pound not on me.

    Great Job Everyone!
