100+ pounds to lose

I started my journey back in December, and have lost just over 80 pounds with about 55 or so to go.

My biggest advice: take it one day at a time and trust that you are stronger than you think. You got this!

I am with you and I'm also in the same boat however I don't know how to add people so can everyone who is in this discussion and in the same boat add me as well!!! We can get through this together

I am in the same boat as you! I need to lose around 175 lbs. and I need all the Motivation and support I can get. If I don't lose this weight the Dr's won't operate on my back and I need to do this for me, but also, I am so sick and tired of not being able to buy clothes (filling out of place), being on the outside looking in all the time, and I want my family to be proud of me and not ashamed of me. Mom say's just get off your butt and my brothers are the ones ashamed of me. I'm used to it by now, but it still hurts.
I have disabilities, so I can not exercise like everyone else can, but I do what I can. There are days however; that I can hardly walk, but I still try. I can't raise my arms very high either. So if anyone would like a fun, exited, emotional, super supporting person I'm your man. In this case woman. lollol lollol My ID is mawmawhueber if you'd like to add me. Thank you.

My goal is to lose 100lbs. I need to lose a little more than that, but 100lbs lost is my primary goal. So far I’ve lost 67lbs. Feel free to add me as a friend.

I suggest everyone in this message visit Success Stories;Trust The Process for a little additional inspiration.

I recommend some good reads for you to start this journey as my "incredibly generic advice" when someone is new to MFP.

A discussion about the Food Database.

One I add is a 4 part Blog about the power of habits.

There is a Search Function that will be very useful.

These are just a few of the many great posts that have been so helpful.

In closing I offer up this small bit of wisdom. I can't remember where I read it but a wise person told me that my goal should be the next 1 pound loss, not the 75 I wanted to lose.

I was doing great but I've fallen off the wagon for the last month. I don't even think I've been on the site here in the month.

So I'm starting again, well not completely starting again because while I fell off the wagon I was still hanging on. I more just cut my effort by 50% as opposed to cutting it altogether so while I didn't loose weight in the month, I only put on half a pound.

Now I'm ready and want to start losing again!!

What is your jawbone name? I will add you. I could use motivation too! Mine is Lisa Clifford
