Need to loose 150 lbs

Getting started is the hardest part...and you've done that! Once you start losing it feels so great you'll be on your way.

Well you're lucky because you've got a few things that are going to make it relatively easy to reach your first goal of getting to 200 pounds.

1. You're still young. You're 24 this is going to be no problem...you can do this.
2. You have a lot of weight to lose. Going from 300 pounds to 200 pounds is going to be the easy part. You'll be amazed at how easy it will come off during this time. Going below the 200 pound mark is where its going to start to become more difficult. Start off your diet with good habits of accurate weighing, logging and getting into a routine pace that you find easy to do.
3. You have all of us here on MFP as support. That's right...log in everyday and get involved in the community. Constently keeping your mind on weight loss, eating right and getting healty will help you to keep on pace and continue the journey.
4. If you stubble and fall there is not need to beat yourself up, just pick yourself up and get back on track. Don't make excuses about it just appologize to yourself and get back to work. Don't wait until the next day or next week just do better immediately.
5. In a few months of dropping weight you're gonna feel like a weight loss pro and all this talk about lack of commitment and motivational issues will seem like a thing of the past.

You look better at 300 than I did at 250 and I'm taller than you are.

Do not quit! If you fall, get back up. Everyone struggles and fails sometimes.

It takes a loooong time to lose 150 pounds. Such a long time. Pay attention to how you feel, when you're hungrier or less hungry, what you enjoy, how things work for you, etc. You learn a lot about your body when you pay attention.

Keep at it and don't give up! People have lost more than 150 and you can, too!

You can do this! I was losing weight easily when I was logging my food. I slacked off logging thinking I didn't need to and I gained it back. Lesson learned...log your food. There are many groups you can join to get extra support. I am in 3 different ones that just started 1) Fall slim down 2015 2) Halloween challenge 3). 1 pound per week till thanksgiving. They are all great support groups. Also make sure you exercise. Walking is a great! I actually have a support group called Walk the World. Its just a bunch of us adding our miles together each week and see were are destination is. There are also a lot of great free phone apps such as happy scale, runkeeper, human, etc. That will help motivate you. You got this!

In 14 months I've lost 101 of 150 goal. 60 yo/f. I've lost every month, no plateaus despite a few medical issues along the way and a work at home sedentary job. You must DECIDE you are going to do this then follow through daily and make adjustments as needed. You can add me if you want.
