Hey!!! I'm all in for this, in fact, I've started my eating healthy and workout plan as of today. I surely didn't want to put on any more weight anticipation the first of the year. I'm pushing towards that 100lb goal for sure! I know it's not going to be easy but it will be well worth it!

I hope it's ok, my goal is only (ha! Only...) 90 pounds for 2016...I'm down almost 70 now.

Hi, I'm 55, Christian, wife and mom. I started my weight loss journey in Dec. 2014 at 476 lbs., I am 406 lbs now. I want to lose another 225 lbs., 100 lbs in 2016. I haven't started exercising yet, 2015 I focused on healthy eating, 2016 I want to incorporate more.

Hi everyone. I started at 390 and am now at 319. I don't have a final goal but think in total it will be to lose 250 pounds. It would be wonderful to lose 100 pounds in 2016, so I'm all in on this one. Looking forward to getting to know all of you better. Oh yeah, I'm female and I'm 64 years old.

Hello, I started my weight loss journey December 1 of this year. I'm 60 and recently retired now time to focus on me. Shooting for the 100 pound mark. When you have to think about if the restaurant has booths or tables and if you will fit comfortably then it is past time to get serious about weight loss. That has been my wake up call. Funny how you can look in a mirror and not see what the rest of the world sees, just what your mind wants to see but somehow your clothes keep shrinking. So either I need a new dryer or lose weight. Might be easier to get a new dryer however the reality is that it is time to lose this weight. Thanks for letting me vent. Together we can do it. Good luck to you all.

Hello, I am 51 years old. My 17-year-old son lost 40 lbs. I lost 20 lbs about one and a half year ago but I gained some back. I have to lose 100 lbs for the doctor to change that ugly word "obesity." My mother language is German. So excuse my English. I believe that this group will be a great support and wish everybody success to achieve their goals.

Hi. I have gained 30 over the last three years after taking on a new job with a lot of stress. I was already overweight, so I am now looking at a long journey. I am beginning with 50 and go from there. I started on Nov.19 and have lost 12 so far, trying to log all my food and walking at least 2 miles a day.
I want to feel less tired throughout my work season. I travel a lot which presents a particular challenge.
Congrats to everyone for making this commitment and good luck. I will look to you for motivation and hope to be support for anyone who needs it.

Hi there, everyone, it's nice to join the group. I started at about 354 in September, and have lost 53 since then. I want to ultimately get down to 160-170, but 200 by the end of 2016 would be amazing!! I look forward to following this group.

Hello all! I'm Ella, a 25 year old mommy to a almost 3 year old. I'm 5'1", currently at 254lbs and am hoping to be somewhere around 150/160 but my ultimate goal weight is 125/130 since I'm so short So glad I found this group! I've always struggled with weight but am tired of feeling like a frumpy SAHM. Ready for this!

Hi all, I am Rebecca and I am 41. I am the mother of five (two are out of the house) three kids still live at home ages 15, 12, and 9. I work outside of the home 32 hours a week and have a business that takes about 25 hours a week and I am back in college full time. 4 years a go I lost 100 plus, in one year. I returned from a year in Haiti and slowly over 3 years put the weight back on so I am right back were I started and I have had enough! So I currently weigh 300 lb and I want to get to 180 lb to start and go from there. 100 for 2016!

Can not have too many friends in this journey. I am a 40 year old SAHM who homeschools 3 wonderful kiddos. I started this Aug. approaching 260, am down to 235ish atm (gained back 6-7 pounds in Dec). I love the idea of 100 lbs in 2016, it would put me in a healthy place and body. I feel like if we can motivate each other to shoot for the stars (100 lbs) then we can celebrate when we land on the moon... Looking forward to getting to know each of you better!

Welcome!!!! Great friends , great way to start a new year!!!!! Gayle Minneapolis

hi everyone, im 35 and have a 3 mth old baby and looking to lose 130lbs (this isn't baby weight I was big before I had him so he was a bit of a surprise lol). I lost 17lbs last jan on MFP before I found out I was pregnant and gave up dieting but need to get back on it now!!!. Feel free to add me and we can support/motivate each other

Hi everyone, I'm looking forward to a healthier & happier 2016. This involves losing 100lbs (maybe a little less than that number now, as I haven't jumped on the scale since the new year lol) 2016 is OUR year!!!

I'm hoping for great things in 2016. I started MFP in Sept 2015 weighing in at 393lbs. I was/am lost in my life. I've moved 3x in two years. I lost my job of 17 years 1.5 years ago. I packed up and moved me and my son 1400 miles away and started a new life, new career, enrolled in medical school etc. I felt life was on tract. I was happy. Then tragedy hit 4 month into my new journey. I pack up and moved back 1400 miles to care for my two nephews who just lost there mother (my sil) during child birth. My life was instantly turned upside down. I gave up everything, left everything behind, moved into a single room at my brothers and became a stay at home aunt/mom too three wonderful boys all with special needs. I've never felt home in my current living situation. I found myself binging and riddled with depression. I was missing my life terribly. I hid it well but the scale told the truth. That day in September I vowed to find myself again. I've lost 35lbs so far. My depression has turned more into a mission to put me back on track. I cannot change my current situation. Those boys need me and I need them.

In 2016 I will continue to loose weight. I am looking for a place to call home and still be able to care for my nephews full time. My son needs his own room, his own space. I need home that feels like home.

Sorry so long...
