Brand new - anyone else need to lose 100+ pounds? Would love some friends!

Options
Hi, I'm Cathy and I just joined MFP yesterday. I had never heard of it before, and when I had my annual physical on Thursday my doctor told me about it. I am in a great place emotionally, and ready to do this, and for me the mental commitment is what keeps me going. I currently weigh 286 lbs and want to ultimately reach 150. Three years ago I made it down to 220, but I put it all back on. I know it could take me a few years to reach my goal, but I'm ready.
If you have already lost, or need to lose over 100 lbs I'd love to connect. I'm a great cheerleader for others so let's travel this journey together. If you comment here I'll send you a friend request. Thank you so much!!

    Thank you everyone - this is all very exciting. Having support is so important, so it's going to be great to see us all shrink together. I know there will be days when it's hard for me, so if you can keep me going, I promise I'll do the same for you if you ever need a shoulder. :)

    Cathy,
    I just started the appThursday trying to figure it out. I go the gym everyday . I'm looking to loose 100 plus pounds. I'll give everyone as much support as needed. We can do this together. I'm also battling some health issue . I got diagnose with breast cancer last April and had my breast removed . I now have implants and having multiple surgeries along the way. So the gym is my outlet. Let's do this together
