Over 150 lbs to lose! looking for support and new friends

I would love some friends and support as well, looking to loose 60-80 pounds maybe even more! This is my first time doing a journey like this and I am entirely new to it. I have (most likely my OB/GYN diagnosed me, but then retired and my new Dr. Is not agreeing) PCOS which has made my weight fluctuate on a weekly to bi-weekly basis by 20-40 pounds. I am sick of being 240-280 pounds all my life. I am ready for a change and hope I can get some friends to do it beside me.

Hi! I am also looking for friends to help keep me motivated! It's hard for me to stay healthy and exercise by myself. Add me if you want!

Hi. Looking to lose about 150lbs.

One day, One pound, One step at a time....it's do-able if you keep your head in the game and are honest in weighing & logging food daily.

With boards being crazy around this time of the year I am reaching out to each of you personally to check out a wonderful support network listed in the above post from another member who has succeeded and myself who is 50% into my journey. There are no do-overs in life, you get one shot, one body so let's do this together!

Educate yourself, create a support network (there will be days when you want to quit....BUT DON'T), establish a new relationship with food and make some great friends along the way.

This is not a DIET, this is LIFESTYLE change. There are not foods you CANNOT have, but rather ones you CAN but in smaller portions or less frequently. Do the best you can each day to create healthy habits that will sustain you in the long run. If you slip one day, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back on track!

CICO, Calories IN, Calories OUT with elimination of drama from yourself and others, weigh it, log it, getting moving....that is it.

I would welcome your friendship add. My weight is currently 275 (started out at 307 about 3 months ago) and at 5' 2", I need to lose quite a bit of weight. I have rheumatoid arthritis and kidney disease. I like what you said about not allowing an autoimmune disease to define you because that's my view, too. I have always struggled with weight from the time I was a fat little girl. My mother and sister were both large women, too. My sister Chris (who was my best friend in the world) had diabetes and I lost her in 2012 to complications from the disease. She was still a young woman. I lost my Mom on New Year's day in 2015, so I'm trying to adjust to those losses, and I'd like to focus on being healthier and figuring out where to go from here! I welcome new friends and it would be nice to share motivation with others who have a long journey ahead of them with some challenges thrown in to test us.

PCOS, very high inflammatory levels, fatty liver etc all as of 2015. I have ~130lbs to lose and could use all the motivation I can get!

I have 200 lbs to lose. I have started going to the gym for about a half hour every day but I don't quite have the dieting down. Any tips would be appreciated!

Hi! I'm hoping to lose 100-150 pounds too. I struggle with depression and am an emotional eater. I've used MFP in the past and it's a great community. Anyone on the thread can feel free to add me. We can do this together!
