Over 100lbs to loose need some friends to help keep me motivated and understand the struggle

kylieantoinette · July 2016

Hi everyone I'm about to be 27 and I have a bit over 100lbs to loose, 125lbs to reach my ultimate goal. I have been overweight just about my whole life, but it wasn't until after I had my son when my weight skyrocketed. I have always "tried" to loose weight but would get discouraged and quit before anything could really change. I finally made the choice to get healthy and loose weight after I watched my grandma suffer from every complication that comes with not taking care of yourself and pass away before she could even turn 72. I put my foot down and a talk with my husband and have been at it for about 3 weeks I've lost 15lbs and still have a very strong motivation to continue. I have a wonderful support at home and with my family but would love to make new friends and have support from people who truly know what it is to loose this much. Everyone is welcome to add me.

I recently started a group here on MFP for those with 100+ lbs to lose! I will send you a friend request and if you are interest in the group, let me know!

I would love to join the group. That would be great, the best way for me to stay on track is to have as much support I can get.

This is very similar to me I had 121lb to lose and now down to 104.3 to go. I'd not really class myself as a yo-yo dieter as I'd never invested in it for long enough to make a change. My OH is on board (and is doing brilliantly) but other people in the same position would be great, and sorry to hear about your grandma.

Hi, I have 80+ pounds to lose. I could lose 100 but think I will be happy at 80. I am 48 and have been carrying this weight around for very long and am struggling to lose it and keep it off. I previously lost 20 pounds but after an injury it has all come back and I can't seem to stay on plan. Having a group that I can support and be supported by would be wonderful. Knowing others are working on the same goal gives strength.

Please add me to your group.

Hi all - just stumbled upon this thread. I too have close to 100 to lose. Let's just say 100 would be ideal, but I would be happy with 80. This is not my first rodeo with weight loss. I do well, then fall so far off the wagon it takes off without me! The good news for me this time around, my husband has been on board with "eating healthier" so that should make it much easier for me. Would love to meet and communicate with folks going through the same journey! Add me!

Hi there! I have an ultimate goal of 125lbs to lose, already down 60!

I have logged for 488 days - whether good, bad or otherwise, and don't intend on stopping. I'm always looking for extra support - I've added you!

If anyone else wants to be friends, the more the merrier!

Piperx222 · July 2016

Hi, I had just over 100 to lose when I started, I'm almost 70 down now (happy dance!).

I'm always looking for more people to help motivate and stay motivated myself. I'll send you a friend request. Anyone else is welcome too! ☺
