hi.
so, i was a pudgy child. a chubby teenager. and a fat *kitten* adult from a family of similarly sized humans. sometime around december, at a doctors appointment, i realized holy crap. i've reached my heaviest weight ever. and that was a bad thing.
because before, i guess i could ignore it and pretend it didn't exist (hahahahaha, yeah right) and suddenly, seeing that scale go from 200 to 300 opened my eyes and i was like... oh. yeah, you're probably going to die at some point so how about we do something about that.
and here i am. 15 down. a hundred to go.
come slap my hand when i reach for a peanut butter cup, mkay?

Been in your shoes, hun. The hardest part of my weightloss journey was taking the steps to start and convincing myself not to give up. I started my weightloss journey last January (at 294 lbs) and have lost 83 pounds since then. I'm still not where I need to be, but I'm not giving up. I found that focusing on short-term (weekly) goals has kept me from feeling overwhelmed. Stay in a positive frame of mind by looking at how far you've come, versus how far you have left to go. Every pound lost is a small victory toward your greater goal, and should be something you're proud of. Celebrate your non-scale victories, as well...passing up on junk food and having something healthy, your clothes fitting better, the changes you notice in your body or your face...it all helps you stay focused and makes your sacrifices feel like they've been well worth it. You CAN do this!! Feel free to send me a friend request or follow me on Instagram: Soniaandgeorgi0

Hey I am in the same boat too. I need to lose around 150 and some change. I know I am going to lose weight anyways, because I am a diabetic and as such need to control my blood sugars and in order to do that I need to limit my food and carb intake. So I figure I will lose weight a long the way. But I am going to try to lose more additionally. Feel free to add me if you like.0

Welcome to MFP! Kinda sounds a little like me, always been on the heavier side. I want to make a change! I can tell you that so far its been a real challenge, and it will be, but don't let it discourage you. I'll add you! We can keep each other motivated.0

I want to lose about 80 lbs. I have diabetes throughout my family, and had gestational diabetes. I've lost 8 lbs since the beginning of Jan (yay me!). Feel free to add me!0

I've got about the same amount to lose. I've been doing this since the beginning of the month. Feel free to add me0

Been there. It seems really daunting to have that much weight to lose, but you can do it. Start now and don't stop0

You got this, girl! What kind of exercise do you like? What are your favourite foods? Weaknesses? Identifying these things early on can be a big help. I really love running, yoga, vegetables, seafood, and cheese. My weaknesses are definitely beer and red wine. I am down about 65 lbs from my highest weight and am looking to lose about 35(ish) more, plus toning. Add me, if you like! Best wishes.0
