100+ Pounds

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'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 for now is 100 lbs, more would always be appreciated but I'd be happy with 100!!! So far I'm down 17, thanks to this site keeping me on track and the positive encouragement from people on here!

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!

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! :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!!!!

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

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:

Hi all, i have just joined this site and when I worked out that I wanted to lose 100lb I nearly cried. Really great to see that I am not on my own! would appreciate any support xx

Good idea thanks! I have just posted an ad for a diet buddy!

I just joined O.A. too. I like my meetings, hope you find them rewarding. Congrats on your progress!! How long ago did you start? I started on the 17th of November & have lost 8, so far. Need to lose 40 total by 2/16/10 for surgery. If I can help kep you going, send me a note...I don't know how to use this system yet. Sue
