I am hoping to lose 100+ lbs and I am just starting my journey. I am hoping to find some friends who are in the same boat. I feel like exercize and nutrition can be different for those of us that have to lose a significant amount. I am just starting my journey so I would love to hear from you/ become friends for motivation.

    totally doable. weigh everything, log everything. read everything (ignore most). be kind and forgiving towards yourself.

    I am 98 lbs down and counting.... The best advice I have is to find out what works for you and stick to it. Start slowly on exercise and work your way up. Don't cut calories drastically. Make small changes to your lifestyle you can live with.

    I have two simple guidelines each morning - exercise 30 minutes, stay under my calorie goal. I know if I can do those two things I will succeed. I had to work my way to be able to exercise 30 minutes, and a I have gone beyond that. Most days I exercise 60+ minutes, but I consider anything more than 30 minutes a bonus. I have no forbidden foods as long as I stay within my calorie goal, I will eat it. Of course that means most days are healthy stuff, but a piece of pizza or cake every now and then also fit in my plan.

    Focus on smaller goals. It can be daunting to think of the total amount or how long it might take. Just focus on today.

    Me too! I've so totally let myself go over the years. I will be 51 this year and really want to get in shape and lose this weight so I can enjoy playing with the grandchildren. The hardest part (well, actually it's ALL hard), but getting moving and getting some exercise in is really difficult. I have a desk job so I'm sitting all day and when I get home I'm tired and don't feel like doing much. I'm not a morning person so getting up even earlier is out of the question. I'm just going to have to muster up the motivation to make myself do some sort of exercise in the evenings when I get home. I would love some friends in the same boat!

    I have at least 100 pounds to lose. I'm 57 years old and after losing 14 lbs on another plan found out I would never be able to keep that up long term. I have lost 6 lbs using MFP in 28 days and love it. I'm a slow loser but that's okay.
