So I worked my butt off by working out and eating right for 1.5 years to lose 100 lbs . I was 244 and then got to 144 and maintained for a while now. However, I want to get my butt into shape and be in the 120s and I need some motivation! Myfitnesspal community, lets lose weight together :)

    The whole weight loss process is such a funny thing. Wouldn't expect to have much in common with a young woman like yourself, but that sounds a lot like my own situation (except I started out much higher)...
    Might just have to send a FR.

    Bravo!! What an accomplishment! I've lost and maintained a 50lb loss the last few years, but also have another ~20lbs to lose. I'd love to follow your progress and see you reach your goals, and vice versa :) Sending a FR now.
