in Motivation and Support
Looking for support from women who are active here on MFP that have 100lb or more to lose! I have lost and gained weight for years, but it's crunch time. I am 26 and want to be successfully maintaining a healthy weight by 30! I am motivated, but do best with support from others. Feel free to post here, chat and add me. :)

    Hi all, I'm in the same boat as most of you! I'm 25 and have quite a lot of weight to lose. Diet starting today. Taking baby steps - it's a whole lifestyle change but one that will hopefully change my life for the better. Would love to add all of you, I'm looking for similar people to myself to support each other x

    Hi there I have 62 more lbs not quite 100 but I know how hard it is to lose then gain again. If I reach my goal of 150 I'll have lost 90. This app has helped a lot and of course exercising. Good luck you can do it and feel free to add me. :smiley:

    Hi! I started out with 90 to lose 10 years ago. I lost it all (through really unhealthy means) and put 80 of it back on after a few years (20 in the last 6 months). I have 74 to lose. Not quite 100, but after having a kid, getting divorced, and signing up to work nights, it feels like it sometimes.

    There is a group you can join which has a lot of people in the same situation. One big positive about the group is they are supportive and you don't get a lot of negative or condescending posts to questions or problems. It's a group that all have 100 lbs or more to lose.

    I started on my own diet program 2 weeks ago. I got to the point of a weight i never wanted to reach. I saw a surgeon and he wont operate tiII I lose a substantial amount of weight. So far I have lost 14# i need to lose 136# more to be at the weight i want. If I can do this without surgery that would be better for me. I don't really have a support system so I thought coming on here would be supportive.

    You can absolutely do it without surgery and it will be so much better for your overall health to do it naturally. There are quite a few on these forums who have had triple digit weight losses only by CICO. You might want to check out Shanelynch1972. He lost over 192 pounds since last year only by usimg this app and walking. With z lityle organization on your part and diligence and patience you will totally get there. All the best.

    Hi, I also want to loose around 100 pounds. I am not too sure on how to break down my long term weight loss goal into smaller goals and what time limit I should place on myself. From today onwards I want to be more active on MFP. Feel free to add me :)

    I have about 140 to lose and am revved up to go. I am excited about the plans and goals I have made. My goals aren't all weight loss or fitness related. Some of them are things like moisturize every day to take care of the health of my skin, and video every day (which I am starting tonight with a video journal). The videoing I am doing is partly because my son wants to create YouTube videos so I need to learn techniques and how to edit.

    I hope you are having an awesome day and if not, I hope it becomes awesome!

    Hi everyone....I've got just over 100lbs to lose too. I've lost 2.7kg (about 5lbs) in the last 4 weeks and I'm just focusing on my weekly target of 0.5lb loss a week at the moment, as the overall number is too big to think about.
    I want to take it slow and steady as I've tried so many times to lose weight, but I try to do too much too soon and end up giving in. I've got a good group of friends on here so far who are so supportive, and I'm always happy to have more so anyone else can feel free to add me :smiley:

    Good luck to everyone. We've all got a lot of work ahead of us, but it can be made so much more fun doing it together! :wink:

    Hey all. I'm 26, and have 110 to lose. I need all the motivation and support I can get, as I don't have much in my personal life. Feel free to add me! Right now I'm getting a solid habit of tracking my intake (calories) and walking as much as I can, going to start an exercise program at home in May :smiley:

    lost 30lbs initially, have a 100 more to go. I'm going to go in 20lb increments because it's less depressing and daunting lol. I count calories and have been doing martial arts twice a week for about 2 years now. I don't think it burns a huge amount of calories because it's not cardio intensive but It helps me manage my stress so I don't turn to food when I feel angry/sad/frustrated. Also I'm pretty confident I can kick someones *kitten* right now if I needed to, or at least give them a run for their money. Finding something you love to do that requires even a small amount of movement like walks in a park, or swimming, or yoga on youtube makes a world of difference.

    Hi there! I'm Stacey, 26 years old and around 270 pounds. My scales broken so I haven't checked my weight well since last year since I have failed to get a new scale but am looking to finally purchase one. I used to be really active on this site, but it was really hard to be good at eating without a kitchen. But I'm finally working around it. I'm a waitress by night and well I am tired by day. Right now in trying to be up by 9am and once I start getting better at that I want to start working out again.

    It's nice to meet someone who has the same goal and is the same age as me! So hi there!!

    I have 85 to lose total, so not quite 100, but it's still a daunting number! I've already lost 29, so just gotta keep at it.

    I just signed up for my very first 5K race in Disney World in January and I want to be fit when I arrive!

    If any of you would like to add me, feel free!

    Hello. I have around 90/95lbs to lose, so not far off 100. I'm also looking for new friends on here and motivation, so please add me if you would like!

    I am here once again, trying something new on MFP for the 3rd or 4th time, as I lose weight, then gain it all back again, booooo!!!
    Soo, this time I am trying something a little different.....I am cutting out sugar, (added). I still have fruit and dairy, the very (and I do mean very) occasional sweet thing here or there, but generally if something has any type of sugar listed as an ingredient, I'm not eating it. I roughly look at the calories, but Im not
    counting them as such. I eat when I'm hungry, and as long as it's not got added sugar I am eating what I want. We shall see how this approach goes regarding weight loss, the sugar cravings are definitely settling down, which is nice!!
