    Hey everyone! I'm on the 100lb weight loss journey too... I'm 4 days in. Weighed in at the beginning at 335 lbs. I'm really challenging myself to lose 100lbs by Christmas. With my nutrition and exercise knowledge from high school football and my knowledge of food since I'm currently attending culinary school, I feel like I have all the weapons to defeat this monumental challenge in front of me and I can't wait to share in the journey with everyone!

    Hey everyone. I bet all of us can agree that this journey is hard. I can't even count how many time I have said "I'm starting over" or "I'm going to do this this time". I have to say though since I have been making new friends on here and getting my feelings out in the open and everyone not being so judgmental has helped me significantly. I don't have ppl I can just go to to talk about how I am feeling and everything going on because they really don't understand. everyone I talk to around me are super skinny and can eat whatever they want without gaining a pound. they say the understand and will help me through it but they never do and the never had weight issues so I feel they will never understand where I am coming from. I get a lot of "stop being so hard on yourself, you look great". I appreciate the encouragement but I know my true weight and the health risks that I am headed for... I know what I have to do and because of all of you I think I'm ready to make that lifestyle change. Thank you all for being here for all of us and helping motivate the unmotivated.

    Same boat as you, 100 pounds to lose! I was 150 when I met my husband and after 3 babies I'm at 230:(. I have tried my fitness pal before but this time I feel more in control. I have NEVER been thin and I have decided I will not leave this world not knowing what that feels like! Anyone feel free to add me:)

    Feel free to add me as well! I have been on my weight loss journey for 7 months and have lost 50 lbs. I started at 368.8 and am now at 318.8. It's a tough journey but so rewarding! My goal weight is 190 so I have 128.8 lbs left to go! I'm obsessed with being sore so every day when I workout I push myself a little further than the day before. I'm counting calories and exercising 5 days a week for at least 45 minutes. I also walk 2-4 miles each day for my job so that is an added bonus! We can do it!

    Hello everyone! I am in the same situation, have over 100 pounds to lose & health is not super great. I need so much help focusing & keeping on track- have a stressful job & hate that I just let that comfort food come in & just completely take over my life. Need help getting it back, add me! Thanks!

    Hey I came here to post the exact same thing! I have over 100 lbs to lose and it just seems too daunting. I have a problem with having no willpower. I just joined WW so I have been spending most of my time tracking points lately but I do check in here for accountability and friends for support! I'm going to add you!

    I think because I'm aiming to lose 100lbs I'm forgetting that i have to lose small amounts of weight to reach that 100 pound. I just want it gone and I want to feel comfertae in my own skin. I hate dieting and everything else but I know it's what I have to do. I just need to do it. I thank each n everyone of u for being with me on this journey. God Bless.

    So don't diet. Work on slowly developing a healthier lifestyle that is going to work for you.

    I started at 300, am currently at 209 and my goal is 190. I will add you.

    @ABrown022 I started enjoying losing weight when I learned how to properly cook produce - which gave me a new passion! Also committed to learning something new about weight loss everyday. Find something you enjoy, like a certain machine at the gym, certain foods, learning about nutrition, writing down small goals, to keep you motivated. Since you're going to be doing this for awhile might as well have fun and it makes the months go by faster.

    Please feel free to add me! Hello y'all my name is Linda and to everybody that read this, we all know that this journey is hard and we all have struggles, some the same and some very different. I believe that if one is willing to put their feelings out of their comfort zone nothing but great will come. I have been on this journey for about 10 years and over that time I have tried a lot of different diets/programs with no success. I start very good for the first 45 days then when I don't see any weight loss or lose any inches I get frustrated and give up. Yes, I know that we all have family struggles, I have been married for 18 years and my husband has severe seizures, epilepsy and psychological, and can get combative. He is always commenting on how "fat" I am and ask when I'm going to lose weight. Plus, he refuses to eat any veggies! He bad habits has rubbed off onto our three children. When we first got together, I was a size 10 weighed 150 pounds and very happy. Now I'm a size 24 and weight 286 pounds and very depressed! I'm looking for encouragement, positive support, and motivation to get to the gym ( since I have nobody to go with ) and to possibly make new friends. I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this and I wish you nothing but the best in your journey!

    Congrats to everyone starting out or already well on their way. I am also part of the 100 lb club, and I started working on my fitness back in September 2014 after my "aha" moment hit.

    Months later and yes, quite a bit of cardio work (which I enjoy), I'm much, much, fitter, feel great, fit in clothes I've not worn for many years, and it's been a long time since I last worried about reaching my goal.

    Currently I'm a little more than half way to my goal weight objective, and I'm making steady progress on becoming again the runner I once was. When I started I would not have believed it could be possible for me to substantially reach my goal weight by my birthday in September 2015 but... and I'm only just now realizing this(!)... it's possible!

    Anyway, wherever I'm add in September I'll be good with it. Fitness-for-life is my real objective, not a scale number.

    Please add me as well if anyone on this thread needs new friends. I'm struggling with binge eating disorder and depression. Currently weigh about 318 pounds and my goal is 165- I am 5'10". Right now I am struggling to be more active using my Fitbit and logging my food everyday no matter what. Honestly sometimes I log just to see how bad I did! One habit at a time, and right now that habit is logging. :-)
