    I am having trouble seeing life's "silver lining" these days. I have an old knee injury from a car accident when i was in high school 25+ years ago (did i really just age myself?!) and it is seriously giving me the blues. Its swollen big like a cantaloupe, very painful, had to buy a knee brace to walk at all, and still doing so with a pronounced limp. I was walking 10K+ steps per day when i got my fitbit, but i think it was too much too soon and now I am paying for it. i am still using my Tower 200 (a weighted pulley system for strength training) but i really think the walking was making such a huge difference. It just makes me sad. Everyone around me keeps telling me to rest. But honestly, its sitting on my rear end that got me to where i have to lose 100+ lbs. I don't want to lose the momentum I had. Any advice? I really rely on all of you, my pals, to give me that kick in the butt when i need it, ya know?

    I am so sad to hear about your struggle! Resting is truly the best way to heal, though. Even though you cannot be as active as you would like, it could be a good way to just focus more on food. I'm sure that with the time you are resting, you can discover some great and healthy recipes to try! You'll be back on your feet in no time! You can ALWAYS message me for ideas :) I'm actually ill and injured right now, so resting is a struggle I'm dealing with as well.

    They say everything is better with friends, and that's got to be true about weight loss, right? I don't have (m)any, but I'd like some!

    I've been actively losing since February, and while 35 lbs of lard have gone, there's still 80 of their evil siblings lurking behind.

    I've been taking the approach of not fretting too much about macronutrients or minutes of cardio, but simply of eating mindfully so that I won't get too hungry. In other words, while I know that I can fit some Pringles into my calorie allowance, I can also fit half a watermelon, and the latter will keep me full much longer.

    I would also love new MFP friends! This is my nth time starting, I've started and stopped more times than I can count. But this time feels different! I have right around 100 to lose (or maybe a few pounds less? I'm not sure where I'll end up). Feel free to add me!

    Hello! I've lost over 100lbs! I just wanted to pop in and say it's doable! I've got another 50ish pounds to lose, but I've resigned to the fact that its going to take a lot longer than the 1st 100lbs. My diary is wide open. Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

    Hello everyone. This is my second time around with MFP. The last time I lost a good amount of weight but then got pregnant and gained everything back. I went back to WW in January and was doing ok, but struggling with the new plan. I have been up and down ever since. I am trying so hard to stay motivated but having a difficult time. I have joined some good groups on Facebook but still need a little more push. I have over 100 pounds to lose but I don't want to focus on the number which is where I think I start to become frustrated. I just want to stay focused on getting healthier. Please send me a friend request. Thanks

    Hello. I am 67 yrs. old and live with chronic pain. Over the past year I have managed to lose 60 lbs. I have 100 more to go. Due to several Heath issues I am extremely limited in regards to exercising but am trying to move more each day to get things moving as I have been at a stand still lately. No sure how this community thing works, but I could use some friends. I am 4u2c2014.

    I'm also back again, with a bit more success. I have lost 60 pounds, about 90 left. Irrigation, much rather looking at weight to go in kg

    I have also got a lot of weight to loose around the region of 6 stone i think. It's so very daunting when you start but I think having people in a similar place to you really helps as they are understanding and can empathise with your journey, the ups and the downs. Feel free to add me, I try to post most days and always try be motivational.

    I'm 5'7" and still have 100 lbs to lose. I have lost 45 so far, and I keep failing and going back to my old ways. I'm still down those 45 lbs but I need a good kick in the pants. :(
