    I've lost 128lbs or 58kg's in last few years by sheer hard work and very strict dieting - i walk every day starting at 4am (in the dark) and walk up to 40klms each day - in the hot extreme weather i have reduced that to about 25klms EVERY DAY - rain hail or shine - walking speed around 7.2 klms per hr - Go for it - Walk it off - and keep your mouth shut - been using MFP since 2011 - every day almost ! Get up early and just go for it Good Luck

    You need more than motivation. You need a supervised plan. I recommend 40 days of water fasting at the True North Health Center. You'll lose 40 lbs in 40 days and set yourself up with a routine to lose the rest.

    I have at the least 135lbs to lose more when I reach that ! This is also my second time at it on my fitness pal last time I lost close to fifty and just gave up needless to say I have gained it all back and I will not give up on myself again ! So hopefully over the next few years we can see each other reach many goals ! I'm a mother of three ! Two teenage girls and a son who is 19 and no longer at home and he has a baby on the way so I will be a grandma this year ! Feel free to add me !

    I also am in the same boat as you. I am 40 years old and starting weight this time around was 344.2. I am down to 329.4 as of my last weigh in. Life seems to continuously get in my way. This time I am determined to kick it out of the way!

    I want to lose 124 pounds! I started in 2007 weighing 320 and lost 80 pounds. I was able to keep that off for a few years but I gained back 44 of those pounds. I've decided to start all over and work towards a healthier lifestyle!

    I just turned 36 last week and have about 150 lbs to lose. I started having some heart issues around Christmas and as of yesterday was told by my dr I'm doing this to myself due to bring heavy, well like I didn't already know this. I've lost 8 lbs in the last two weeks from watching what I eat.l, but now the dr is saying no caffeine or carbs. I'm just now getting the hang of counting calories and now I have to watch carbs. I'm so lost!!!

    I find my motivation on instagram

    I added tons of women who have lost a lot of weight. They share their photos and routines and it keeps me going

    And remember...time is gonna go by whether you lose weight or not so, you wanna be sitting here next summer obese still? I sure dont.

    Hello all. I am looking for friends with similar goals as myself. I have over 150 lbs to lose and any little help is much appreciated. I started for the new year and have lost 12.6 lbs far. I currently weigh 326.2 lbs. I am a 36 year old mother of 3 and have been obese my entire life. Ive done so many different fads and diets but the only one that has worked for me in the past is healthy eating and exercising. In 2013 I was able to lose over 70 lbs but fell of the horse when my mother passed away. Since that I had my 3rd child and I managed to eat myself back to my highest weight. I am now ready to start again. I've done it before and I WILL do it again.

    please feel free to add me.

    Hi thanks for sharing. I'm 300 lbs (what I last checked) , I also have a goal of -150lbs. I have 3 kids all under 6 yrs of age and lost 32 lbs about 2 yrs ago but fell back after I had my 3rd child. And this is also the heaviest I've ever been. Add me
