    Welcome. I am not one of those size 0 folks either. I have lost 146 with 104 still to go. So I get the struggle. Anyone can feel free to add me.

    Been there, done that, bought the (much smaller) t-shirt.

    Just like @rabbitjb said: "weigh, log, keep a deficit, move more, be patient". Good luck!

    It's very possible.

    Log your food accurately and honestly (digital food scale can help with this)
    Find an activity you enjoy doing
    Have lots and lots of patience
    Don't try to be perfect, work on being consistently better than you were yesterday.
    Have more patience
    Don't fall for all the diet myths that are thrown around, keep it simple and take it 1 lb at a time.
    Understand that weight will fluctuate all the time, so watch for overall trends.
    Don't overly restrict, losing weight doesn't have to be miserable.
    Have some more patience.

    Good luck to you!

    20 down, 90 to go. Size 0 isn't happening for me either, but I'd be happy with 14. Welcome!

    I started my weight loss about 4 years ago. I lost about 30 pounds. Then i let myself get sidetracked in life and quit my workouts. I gained back 10 of what i lost. So now i am back and refocused to lose more weight and keep it off this time! I have about 60 pounds to lose to be at me "recommended body weight". I am not looking to fit into a size 0 either so if i can drop 50 pound i will be at a happy place.

    Welcome and add me! I'm working on a 70lb goal right now with a re-eval after that for 20-30 more.

    I'm dreaming of losing 70 pounds but it really seems like a dream. I read the success stories and would love to be positive that I too can do this. I'm 46 and would like to lose weight and feel good about myself.. Anyway, I'm new here and am great at keeping others positive I just don't seem to be able to do it for myself. You have already lost weight that is amazing and proof u can do it and are on the right track. Good job

    Love the support! I have opted to share my diary and weight as another avenue of getting suggestions for weight loss or for others to see what I am doing if it is working. Hope all of you are doing well and stay strong!

    Congratulations on your loss so far! Awesome! Anyone can feel free to add me :) 137 down, maybe about 60+ to go. My profile is empty (I hate writing those things), but I blog a lot. Love having friends on here to share motivation, support and random thoughts :)

    I also found a cool website called www.healthywager.com that you can bet on the amount of weight you will loose in the time you setup and can win cash! I bet I would loose 75 pounds in 11 months and I pay $20 every month. If I reach my goal weight they will pay me almost $900. I figure this will help me buy a new wardrobe!!!! I am very excited for me and my family as I am sure I will have much more energy to keep up with all of them!

    LOVE the competition idea! You're actually competing with yourself and I think that helps remind us all that we can't compare ourselves to anyone else, this is OUR journey. Thanks for the info!!

    You should be eating more than 1300 calories a day. I'm not sure how tall you are. But there is no need to over restrict. Just to give you an example, I am much older than you, female, and lost over 100 lbs eating 1500-1900 calories per day.

    Good luck to you and everyone else.

    As a man you should be eating far more than that. I was 333 pounds when I started and I was eating around 2000 calories a day and have lost over 135 pounds. 1300 calories is not sustainable for you. You will lose enormous amounts of muscle mass. You need to rethink and set more sensible and sustainable goals
