Need to lose 100lbs

I say it's a big goal, BUT if you want it then let's do it together!!

And juliehighland, I live just north of Ft. Worth maybe 20-30 minutes. If you need a workout buddy.

All you need is determination, and dedication.

I need to loose 98lbs
Was over 100lbs a month ago though lol
Add me if you like, we'll get there

I sent a friend request. And anyone can add me. I also have 100 + pounds to lose.

I wanted to lose 90 pounds in a year, that was my 1 year goal. It's just over a year now and on my one year day, I had lost 67 pounds, so 23 short of my goal. I'm totally ok with it, BECAUSE.....I learned along the way, that weight comes off sooooo easy when you have 100 pounds or more to lose. I lost my first 50 in 6 months, barely trying, just limiting calorie intake. But then when you only have 20-30 to lose, it's much much slower and you have to work harder for it. So I'd say break down your goal into smaller goals. I initially broke down my goals month by month, with the MFP goal to lose 2 pounds a week, so 8 a month. After my first month I lost about 12 pounds. (Most months I lost 10+ pounds and then December was my 6th month and I only lost 2 pounds, on purpose. I didn't want January to roll around and feel deprived of my mother's amazing Christmas appetizers and cooking, lol.) Anyway, what I mean to say is, as an example, for month 1-3 aim to lose 8-12 pounds each month, then month 4-6 aim for 6-10 pounds each month, month 7-9 aim to lose 4-8 pounds, and so on. Simply because goals, when not attained, can be more discouraging than if you set realistic (or flexible) goals and achieved less weight loss but met your goal (as in, aiming to lose 100 in a year but only losing 80, is more discouraging than aiming to lose 60 in a year and losing 70. Less weight dropped, but still a kick butt goal achieved and you feel like superwoman.) Weight loss is 90% a mind game!
ALSO, on a totally superficial level, lol, if you lose weight fast, your skin droops, your face gets wrinkly and it's super discouraging! I stopped losing weight in month 8 because my facial skin looked AWFUL and I felt so old and discouraged (I'm 35). I started losing more slowly and my skin looks pretty dang beautiful now if I do say so
Good luck, and all the best! Regardless of what you choose for your goal, you'll be sooooo happy you started today instead of in another year!

You can definitely do lose the 100lbs but by January might be a little too much. I don't feel like it would be healthy to lose that fast however if you work hard you will probably lose quite a bit by then

I have about 101 total to lose. I've been carrying it around for 15 years. In 2001 I completed the Chicago marathon and have done 5 triathlons. So I get it. Look into the Whole30! I can't believe how much better I feel and how much more empowered I feel. I'm 47 days in and I'm down 23 pounds. And I'm eating 1500-1800 Cals a day. So I'm not starving myself. Just eating really clean. And moving again. You can do this!

I'm in! Anyone can add me, too! I technically have my goal as losing 80 lbs, but that's something to be assessed along the way. Excited to have people who are on the same journey!
