Ladies losing 100+lbs?

I am 43 years old, and brand new to MFP. I have recently begun a long overdue journey to improve my health and need to lose over 100+ lbs, quit smoking and have more energy. This week has been rough, the doctor specializing in obesity has told me that gastric bypass is really my only option for long-term weight loss (which was devastating to hear) and I failed my stress-test and now will be referred to a cardiologist. On a positive note, I have also reconnected with an old friend who turns out to be my future life-partner it would appear. He is super supportive of my journey and will love me no matter what size, but I really want to develop much better habits and be healthy and happy so I can model those habits in my future role as step-mom to his 3 kids. I don't ever want them to end up like me at my age...and I have time to get my ducks in a row, since he had filed for divorce just before we reconnected, and that's going to take awhile to be complete. I would really enjoy friends to chat with through this journey. Positive support is definitely appreciated and helps.

I have about 100 lbs to lose...I was working out, eating clean, etc. Didn't see a change for 10 months, finally got my nexplanon out and have lost 5 lbs in just under 2 weeks. I was feeling discouraged for a bit and now that I figured out the issue, I'm excited to be back on track.

Hello! I'm a first-time MFP'er. I started at 300 and I'm 22 down thanks to strict food/calorie tracking, moderation, cutting out fast food and soda, supportive family & friends, and cardio-cardio-cardio. I just attended by 2nd boot camp and I'm feeling good. I have over 100 lbs to go and I am cheering for you all!

Hey everyone! I'm 21, 5'10 and have at least 120 lbs to lose. I will probably lose more once I reach my goal, but that is already a big goal to start! I have been working on logging food and trying to exercise 5 days a week (but I fall short often). I am hoping to find some people taking the same path as me, and I hope to have some friends that also want to motivate and be supportive in the tough journey! Everyone please add me! I just started this so I do not really know how it works yet.

I'm back on MFP after an 11mo break when my teenaged son was diagnosed with Leukemia. During that 11mo, I probably gained another 20+lbs, so now I need to lose well over 100lbs. I keep dabbling with trying to eat right, but keep coming up with excuses. I'm tired. I am my son's primary caregiver and I need to be healthier for him. And for me. I prefer to eat low carb, but found that to be challenging when he is in/out of the hospital so much. I need to get control of my life, or at least one aspect of it!!

Hey! I'm 29 and this is my second time around on MFP. The first time, I started at 280lbs with a goal weight of 170, got down to 220 and then a bunch of life events happened, I got depressed and ate myself back up to 265lbs. Just started MFP again yesterday, under a new account, mainly to start completely fresh. I'm currently at 261lbs still looking to get to 170. Anyone welcome to friend me, as I found last time, this journey is much easier with friends and support!

Hi all! I'm 27 and looking to lose quite a bit of weight too. It's really nice to meet everyone!

Yess!! the same here I'm hoping to lose 100+lbs as well. it's only been 8 days but I'm soo determined and glad to see you all here as well!

Hi everyone! I've been off and on with MFP for years, but I am really ready to do this now! I want to start by losing 100 pounds, and see how I feel at that point. I would love the support of some people with a similar goal, and I'd love to support them as well! Feel free to add me!
