    I have 110 pounds to lose. Sadly I was at my goal weight and in the best shape of my life just 7 years ago and then stress and major changes led me to put myself last which was a huge mistake. I am determined to get back to the best me again :)

    I'm turning 30 this year...in just a few months actually. I currently weight 278 and I'm 5'9". I'm sick of it. I've been heavy my entire life. I want to lose at least 100 lbs. I just want to be healthier for myself and my son. I just can't seem to keep myself motivated. I do good for a while and then just don't. So any friends or advice would greatly be appreciated!!!

    Hey All!!! I am 32, and have 158lbs to lose. I'm 6ft, started around 365lbs I think (I stopped weighing myself when the scale got that high).. I'm down to 328 now. My next goal is to just be under 300lbs. Once I reach that I will set another goal! I just started and am in the middle of my first 24 day challenge with Advocare. Down 14lbs, just from their program. I have an open diary (open only to friends). I am a fitbit junkie. I love being in weekly challenges. I am active every day on MFP. Please feel free to add me!! I've added a few of you already :)

    Hello! For my height I should definitely lose at least 100lbs, but I need to set a realistic goal for myself first. Maybe 20lbs to start? Idk I just exercised for 15 minutes by dancing to songs I listened to when I was younger...it was very freeing! What have you started to do? The hardest part for me is food and gettin my lazy butt up and moving... :)

    Its hard to afford but I am paying for a personal trainer so I have to go. Once you get there I'm good and feel so much better. But I'm one of those who will help everyone before myself. I know am over 100lbs overweight. I can't be here for anyone if I'm dead..lol

    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.

    Surgery is only temporary hun, and then u are stuck with all sorts of permanent inabilities to absorb nutrients if u fall back into bad habits. If there is one thing I've learned is make it a lifestyle change, not a diet. Give yourself gifts for reaching goals that make u feel good, like getting a pedicure. The other thing is experiment with spices and yogurt dressings to bake with.

    Hi! I'm 33 and have about 110lbs to lose. I've always struggled with my weight because of emotional eating and lower back issues that restrict my movement but always just brushed it off because I didn't see myself as an overweight girl. However, I recently learned from my doctor that I fall in the weight category that qualifies for weight loss surgery. Once I heard that I had a wholly *kitten* I need to change moment but the idea of losing 110lbs is very overwhelming that it drives to me seek comfort in food. I don't really have many people to talk to you about this...doesn't help that all my friends/co-workers and about 90% of my family have metabolisms that would make a fitness model jealous it's been hard trying to find support.

    But with all that self-pity aside I'm still pushing myself so if you need some support I'm here for you :)

    I'm polish and Irish. So I'm wide with a flat butt...haha. I have the same number to lose..110. My metabolism registers as sludge, but if I eat every 2 or 3 hrs, it cranks it up to mediocre, but better than sludge. If you seek good for comfort, change it up. Keep around cherry tomatoes, strawberries with Stevie sprinkles. In the beginning I premake French toast, then just sprinkle stevia on them in the morning after I microwave them for 10 seconds. Just keep healthier options at reach, like nuts. I hope I helped some

    Hi! I'm not sure how much I want to lose when it's all said and done, but it's well over 100 pounds. 3 years ago I lost 70 pounds and was feeling great. I don't know why, but I suddenly lost my motivation entirely and gained it all back PLUS an extra 35 pounds. 3 weeks ago I stepped on the scale at the doctors office and weighed 315 pounds, and after a good cry, I decided it was time to do my best to start getting this weight off. I have some thyroid issues that I'm undergoing testing for, so that's making it a bit difficult, but I refuse to let my health keep me from improving my health. If that makes any sense ;)

    I'm 26 too and for years I have struggled with my weight, getting motivated to eat healthier and workout but last December I looked at the scale & something snapped in my brain and I have a whole new mind set for getting healthier. I joined Anytime Fitness and started with a personal trainer and joined team training. At first I didn't see any results and that is usually my downfall but realized even though I wasn't seeing anything on the scale I could feeling my body changing. I was feeling strong, clothes fit differently, I was losing body fat and gaining muscle, and just feeling good in general! (I gained muscle weight before I started losing weight.) So far I lost about 15 lbs in my goal to lose about 100+ lbs! Right now I am lacking in the motivation to get to the gym and could use some friends to help motivate me and talk to people in the same boat as me!

    I have a lot more than 100 to lose but doing it 1 step at a time. For me, I need to lose some weight before I try and add exercise just by strictly logging food/diet. I'm new though, just started seriously this week.

    I have about 100 more pounds to lose. I started using MFP at the start of this year. The food diary has been incredibly effective. Knowing where I'm at before I eat helps me to make choices that keep me within my nutritional goals. Due to some problems recovering from surgery, I was not able to any exercise at all. Just making better choices, and logging what I eat, I've been able to lose 37 pounds so far. I would have told you that it wasnt possible to lose any weight without being able to exercise. I was wrong! Do what you can with food, and be gentle with yourself. It's a process and you will be successful! You are worth the effort.

    Hello Everyone!!! :) My name is Sherri. I am 5'6 and live in Pittsburgh. At one point in time I weighed over 400 pounds. I lost it in a very unhealthy way and a lot of it came back. I have been battling my weight for a long time now and usually stuck around 240 or 250. I recently got on a scale and realized that in one year I gained 42 pounds. I was 292. I am bound and determined to not be over 300 again. Naturally I cried and sobbed on my boyfriends shoulder. After a little while I realized there is never going to be a quick fix, there is never going to be an easy way. I need to change my life. Since I started (again) about 2 weeks ago I have lost 9 pounds. I am just going to keep trudging along and keep soda and junk out of my life forever!!!

    THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Your post was exactly what I needed to hear! I have been battling knee problems for the past 4 months - Dr. said I need to have them both replaced in the near future. The pain makes it impossible to exercise and very painful to even walk. I have been struggling wondering how I am going to lose weight if I can't exercise (other than swimming). Thank you for confirming for me that I can do it. You are awesome!

    Everyone, myself included, gets so gung-ho when we first get that determination to get ourselves in shape ... be it weight wise or in other matters of our life where we want to change. We go all out 110-percent and feel so good about ourselves when we see positive results the first few days, or the first week or two ... and then something throws a wrench into it. We call it life. We also, more often than not, let it derail us completely from our 110-percenter focus, it suddenly becomes -1 percent and we start to rationalize it away when that tug of guilt rises up to greet us. And then we stop trying all-together at all because we hate that little buzz in our ear telling us that we are not measuring up; we resign ourselves to our sad fate in life of going around with an oversized body and fat-encircled organs that are struggling to keep us alive.

    Might I propose a more common-sense approach to it? Eat a little less, move a little more ... every day.

    Hey everyone. I have been on MFP for 4 years, and at one point lost 45lbs, ended up with an injury, and gained it all back and then some. I am now at my highest ever at 346lbs, and I have a very hard time losing weight. I can do everything right, and not lose any, but do everything wrong and lose 7lbs. The next week gain it all back. I am in desperate need of accountability partners. If you're willing and able, please add me!!!

    Would love to have some new friends/motivators on here. I've bounced on and off of mfp but I'm sI tired of being overweight!

    I'm 23 and want to lose over 100lbs and be more healthy. Just thinking of that alone is so daunting! In the past, I break it into smaller chunks and build rewards into it for myself at each step (20 pounds or so).

    It's really refreshing to see other women with similar goals and in similar situations.

    Feel free to send me a message or add me!

    You are the women I've been looking for! I'm 30, 265lbs, and only 5 feet. Please add me, as many of you as are willing! The community support with similar people can be a big help.

    I have at least 120 lbs to lose. I'm hoping to at least lose 50 by the end of the year. I want to break out up into smaller goals so that way its easier for me. :smile: I'd be happy to add friends on here! I've used this app before, but lacked a lot of motivation at the time.

    Hey there ladies! I'm Sasha and Im looking to lose 100 pounds. I've found it easier to aim to lose 1-2 lbs a week and not look at the big picture. I've been eating healthier (most days) since about February. I've purchased 2 beach body programs and shakeology to try. I have a gym membership and I go at least 3 days a week. I seem to do so much better with everything when I have more support or accountability groups. I think positive support and group accountability helps tremendously. Of any of you would be interested let me know. We can all do this!
