    I have 190 lbs to lose. I have already lost 45 lbs, but I got a little side tracked when things in my life changed and gained about 30 back. But I'm back with a vengeance.

    Hi there. I'm part of an awesome, friendly, supportive group on here for folks with 100lbs+ to lose. There's no judgment, we're all in a similar place, and understand the emotional baggage that comes with the journey back to fitness. The group is called "100 + pounds with NO surgery" if you want to look it up.
    I've sent you a friend request, welcome to MFP :smile:

    Hiya, I'm back on it again too. I lost about 2 stone a few years ago, but put it all back on and some. I turn 30 in June and determined not be to 30 and as fat as I am now. Been on here since the start of January and 3/4lb away from loosing a stone. Be good to make some new friends for support :)

    I'll be 19 in a few days, I am in college so the food choices aren't the greatest and I have found that with stress I eat less healthy everyday. I'd like to lose 20-30 pounds so I have a nice summer body. Really would like some support

    I'm about to turn 34 years old and have a beautiful 8 month old baby. I'm down 41 lbs., however I have 43 pounds to go to reach my goal weight. I have been on MFP many, many times.. and each time I give in. This time, I am more motivated than ever as I want to be fit and healthy for my little man.
    Good luck! It's not an easy journey... but it will be so worth it in the end! B)

    My original goal was over 100lbs as well. Actually more like 150, but at 100lbs I'm having a huge blow-out party to celebrate progress..... a healthy eating party of course. I've lost and gained (yo-yo), but each time I gain less than I lose, so I guess that's a win. Officially down 68lbs, but if I look back at my early/mid 20's, I know I weighed even more, but I didn't have a scale at home or at the doctor's office that could hold me. We always just put "300+" as weight, even when I know it was more like 375. I'm wearing waist size 44 jeans (not snug) when I wore size 56 back then (sometimes snug-ish). Anyway, my point is, 100lbs is very possible, but don't expect it to melt off in an instant. This isn't the Biggest Loser and I wouldn't want it to be.... (those people mostly gain it back with a few exceptions.... the work-out regimen they participate in is NOT sustainable by anyone who has to work for a living, so it makes sense that they cannot sustain their loss of fat).

    Feel free to add me if you like... I'm working on being more active here this year as I strive for my next big goal: 250lbs.... When I hit 250lbs, it will be the first time I've weighed that little since I was a 7th grader.

    Yes I always had the issue of losing and gaining more quickly ... it's hard but it does get better with a good support system :)
