    I have lost 80 lbs in 6 months - I started out at 205 ( had 3 children practically back to back and gained so much weight with them and never lost it ) I woke up one day and said enough is enough - it is POSSIBLE TO LOSE THE WEIGHT - take it slow and steady to start out - the first 9 weeks for me were BRUTAL - I totally changed my eating habits / cut calories and choose to do the clean eating thing - I also added exercise - I started out with jogging / walking cause I was so out of shape and everyday I pushed a little father till it just became easy !! Just wanted to post this on here for everyone that it truely is possible thru dedication and it is more mental dedication and constant telling yourself " you can do it !! " because YOU CAN !! - I am still a work in progress I have about 15 lbs to go - my goal is 110 lbs when I am done and maintain !! So everyone you can do it ! If anyone wants tips on exercises and such that worked for me let me know !!

    I have 100 to lose also. It is so hard knowing where to start. If you are like me you dread cooking dinner when you are on a diet because you have no idea what to eat and when you are the only one in the house dieting trying to stay faithful to the diet takes so much willpower. However, I look at pictures of myself that others have taken and cry because I don't know how I let myself get here and more so how I'm going to get the weight back off. It's very obvious that I'm not happy with myself and that the weight is causing me health issues but knowing where to start and just what to do every day to battle the weight is truly draining. There should be a guide out there for those like me who don't know a lot about nutrition and cooking to stay healthy and exercising to lose weight that takes you step by step day by day.
    I'm up for accountability partners and helping each other succeed, God knows I need the help!

    100 pounds category here. Not even thinking of that though. I am only 7 days back with MFP. Taking it one day at a time. The only goal I want to set for myself this month is consistent tracking (calories) of healthy food options and moderate exercise. Would love to have a MFP community support and motivational group. Feel free to add... Thanks!

    I'm part of a group called "100 + pounds with NO surgery" and everyone there is really great. It's a really supportive group that has a wide range of people in it. I highly recommend it. There's no judgement and complete acceptance - it's great.

    While I don't have 100lbs to lose, I was 245 lbs when I was 17 and graduated from high school so I've been there and understand the struggle. Feel free to add me. I'm currently trying to lose about 10-15lbs that I've gained in the last year or so.

    I need to lose 151 pounds. I am 5'8" and currently weigh 341. I am a emotional eater constantly trying different diets then after about a week I quit. I do well one week then in the next week I gain all I lost plus some and its a constant cycle. I am looking for some friends to help me stay motivated and to help others too.

    I have 80 to lose. Mother of two small boys that have tons of energy. I need to keep up and it's not fair on them that I am overweight and can't! Doing this for my children but also for me. I want to be around for a long time for them. I want to be able to run with them in the park, climbs trees, swim in the ocean, whatever adventure they would like to go on... My weight can't hold me back no longer!

    Hey gang, add me to the -100lbs family. I gave up all diet pop and aspartame and "junk food" about 4 weeks ago. Also switched everything to wheat. Didn't lose any weight, was devastated. But I have had a few people ask if I lost weight but that horrible scale must hate me. I feel much better. Now I log everything I eat and exercise at least 20 min a day on the treadmill. I'm tired of feeling hungry and afraid of the mirror. Keep up the good fight gang.

    Would love to lose 80 lbs but 100 would be awesome!! Currently 239.7lbs and 57. I lost 45 lbs once and that was tough but I did it... Do I know it's going to be doubly tough but I truly feel like I can do this!!

    I share almost exactly the same story. I lost about 54 pounds 3 years ago and regained 40 or so back. I am currently 231 and hoping to lose 100

    In December I weighed 278lbs. Needed to lose 108lbs to reach my goal. I am currently 226 with a total loss of around 50 lbs still a long road ahead of me. I have tried to cut out take out, junk food, soda, and have switched to whole wheat/grains, more protein and fibre less fat. I just feel like carbs are my downfall I'm not sure if my body is digesting them properly any suggestions?

    feel free to add me!! I spent the last 2 years learning how to walk again after a serious leg injury and am just now getting back onto the path of healthy me!! While injured I discovered that i did a lot of pitty me eating and it just piled on. So now my goal is to go from 292 to 225 by January 1. Then my second goal is to go from 225 to 175 by March 1 so that I can get back into doing things I love!! be patient, track your food, and strive for a total of 3000 calorie burns a day. First it will be inches then it will be weight... good luck to everyone on here and lets do this!!

    Started out 265 and am down to 245 before I even started this program. I guess I'm a 100 pound loss no surgury too. Count me in. We should form the 100 club.

    It's great to read all who are motivated to be part of the "lose 100lb club." i would like to offer to be part of the "lose 300lb club." i started nine weeks ago at 490lbs. I am down to 455lbs. I have a very long road ahead. I have struggled like everyone else and i am determined to make the changes my doctor and I have planned. I would say good luck but this journey is not about luck but perseverance.

    I have 100 lbs to lose. I'm breaking it into smaller chunks so it doesn't seem as daunting. I want nothing more than to start my family but I know I can't start until I am at a more healthy weight, not just for myself but for the baby I will carry. Feel free to add me!
