    I need to lose 170 lbs I'm still in denial that I'm gaining weight and my husband is oblivious to my weight gain, in the 4 years we've been married I've gained 200 lbs while he's lost weight. I need some motivation.

    I would be honored to help try to motivate you! Denial is normal, i have been in your place.

    My starting weight was 310lbs in 2012.
    Now, I'm down to 283.0 (as of this morning)
    It's a long ways away (113 pounds to be exact) to my goal weight of 170.
    Please, anyone, feel free to add me if you'd like another friend! I'm in this for the long haul, 100 pounds+ can be so ridiculously intimidating!! But we're all here, trying to make an effort to change our lives day by day for the better! Let's make 2015 OURS! :drinker:
    -Oh and just a note, I'm no longer doing keto, (a low carb high fat diet) Just that mfp doesn't let me change the screen name a 3rd time. I'm trying the actual iifym lifestyle now and working out daily. And it's going pretty well!

    I can TOTALLY relate to you.Last year, I lost 53 pounds and gained all but 4 pounds. So ashamed of myself, but I know that the journey continues. I would LOVE for more friends to keep me accountable. Happy losing all. :)

    There's a quote I like:

    I cant lose 100 pounds, but i can lose 10 pounds ten times.

    If im being honest i probably need to lose closer to 200 than 100. But it can be done! one mean at a time.

    I have been on this journey since mid March. I started out at 364lbs. I have lost only 8lbs. I say only, bc I have been working out so hard and I feel like it should be dropping off. Especially since I went from only drinking soda to only drinking water. Maybe bc I am doing some weightlifting. Idk but I will keep at it.

    100 to lose. I'm down 55 pounds. I've been maintaining that loss since the winter. time to get back in weightloss mode!

    glad your approach has shifted so you can lose the weight for good. the most weight i ever lost was 25lbs one time for like 5 minutes. lol
    this time around my approach is much more realistic, long term sustainable and healthy. and most of all not self-deprivation. i think thats why I'm finding success for the first time in my life.

    good luck to you!

    That is exactly what happened to me. I was lifting weights and doing cardio. Always at the gym and the weight wasn't coming off. I am still not sure why or how to help you. :( My personal trainer said i wasnt eating enough. He said to eat at least 2000 calories per day because of how much i was working out. Maybe that advice can help you.

    I found MFP on Reddit a few months ago and sort of started using it. Though, I lost track for a bit and gained weight again.

    While to get to my ideal weight, I need to lose quite a bit--that is not my goal. The number on the scale does not mean much to me. I just want to feel better and have more energy.

    I'm right there with you all! I'm a work in progress, falling off the wagon and then getting back on. But, at least I'm getting back up! I find it easier to do with friends who motivate each other and interact. Both time I've been on MFP I haven't really found too many people who actually do interact so hopefully I can find it this time around. Feel free to friend request me. :)

    I just started but I have a lot to loose (100+). I've lost in the past on Weight Watcher's & I too got tired of counting points. This time I've got my FitBit & I've cut my calories. I feel like I'm well armed & ready to do this!
