in Motivation and Support
I am 32 years old, have 3 children and a husband and I am going back to work in 2 weeks after mat leave.
I have about 80Ibs to lose and would love to chat with anyone who has lots of weight to lose. It just isn't the same sometimes talking with people who have to lose 10-20 Ibs. Sometimes I feel like it is so far away, how could I ever get there.

Thanks

    We're already friends, but I just wanted to let you know that you can do it. At my highest (non pregnancy weight) I was 218 lbs. I'm now 180, so I've lost almost 40 lbs. Still have 40 to go, but I hear ya about people who have less to lose. Weight loss is hard no mater, but sometimes it's hard for those who don't have as much to lose to related to some of the issues of having more weight to lose.

    When I started in Jan 2011 I wanted to lose 65 pounds, that would put in a healthy BMI range. Ive lost 43 pounds so far. I thought it would take forever to lose it. You can do it just take it 1 pound at a time. Add me if you like.

    I don't focus on scale weight. I focus on my body fat percentage/pounds of fat and inches. Don't get me wrong, I am overweight. According to height/weight chart and scale weight, I'm more than 50 pounds of being over weight, but as I have said before, I'm focusing on my body fat percentage/pounds of fat and inches. I have a body fat goal that I'm aiming for. I don't know how much scale weight loss will get me to that number and I don't care, as long as I get there. I'm tracking my body fat percentage loss.

    I like to motivate and cheer people on. Feel free to befriend me if you want to. We all can use the motivation and encouragement.

    Feel free to add me, too. I've lost 29 pounds so far, and have almost 50 left to lose to get to my first target weight. It's been slow going, and I'd plateaued for a bit this spring when life got rather crazy, but seem to be making some progress now.

    Good luck!!

    I have way over 50 to lose. I have lost 30 so far. I'm trying to focus on the shorter goals and not the big one that seems so far away.

    Anyone can add me. I want to lose alot of weight. My number is close to 100 lbs to lose but I'm just focusing on losing enough now to fit into a dress. Kinda had my heart set on getting into a size 16 but that won't be happening at least not by Sept. So I'm looking to just lose enough to fit into a size 20. Right now I'm a size 26 so I have my work cut out for me. I play on the wii. Or at least try to. Doesn't help when hubby is over weight too but doesn't help keep me focus. But I'm always here to offer support and encouragement.
