    I do low-carb, as well. I'm fully aware that calories are king, but it's done wonders in keeping cravings at bay!
    Also: Hi, welcome!

    Hey all!! I have about 100 pounds I want to lose! I'm 257 and my heaviest was 261. I'm taking it all in 10 pound goals so I'm looking for friends to help encourage and motivate me and help me stay on track and understand the struggle of staying on track! Im a 29 year old stay at home mom of 4 elementary aged kiddos so I'd love some mommy friends also who can relate to my struggles!!! :)

    Started LCHF (Keto) at the end of June. So far I've lost 12 pounds. This "diet" is the only thing that has worked for me. My system just can't seem to handle anything more than 20 net carbs per day.

    I have 150lbs to lose and I have decided to start changing my lifestyle for good. Ive always been the type to go on a diet for about 3 weeks, get discouraged and gain all the weight back. Ive never tried the low-carb idea but im up for a challenge! add me :)

    Hiya. I've already lost 150lbs ish, I had been maintaining for 2 years but a little bit crept back on over winter (I live in Australia, roll on the warmer weather!!). I started at 329 lbs and really had to do the lifestyle change, my philosophy is so whatever works for you and you can sustain long term. For me, I couldn't live in a world without ice cream and chocolate so I took the "everything in moderation" approach, although I have played with low carb. It's not for me but I know plenty of people that love it and it works for them :)

    Anyway, after losing so much weight I became qualified as a Personal Trainer, talk about a complete 180 from what life used to be for me! I'm now trying to lose the bit of winter weight that I gained plus some extra, I don't have a specific goal because now I'm no longer morbidly obese it's more about how I look and feel. Probably aim to lose another 30 lbs and then reassess.

    I'm happy to provide some inspiration/support to anyone, but please include a brief message if you send me a friend request, I like to know who you are and how you found me. Cheers! If I can lose it, anyone can!

    Hello! I'm 5'4F with 130 lb to lose. Feel free to add me. I've mostly been just restricting the amount of calories in. I walk the dog about 3 miles 3 days a week. The other 3 days (minus Sunday) I go to the gym and do cardio on the elliptical. I eat part of my exercise calories back (I'm set at sedentary).

    Feel free to add me also, I already lost 55 lbs (almost 6 months) and I still need to lose another 50 lbs. I'm doing by just reducing my calories and drinking this awesome Health Nutrious drink. Some days are better than others of course, so I can use all the motivation I can get (along with providing some)

    I am right there with you. I need to lose 100 lbs or a bit more. I have just rejoined here after having some health issues and being inactive. Now I am on the mend and ready for this challenge. I know this site is great for helping me be accountable as I lost 40 lbs in five months when I was using it faithfully and staying on my eating plan. You can do this. I can do this. We all can meet our goals if we stay focus on the ultimate goal while setting small goals. One pound a week means 52 pounds in a year, two pounds a week and I will be at my goal in one year. So here I go on this journey and am glad to have others who have committed to this ambitious goal.

    They're a lot of us who need to shed 100+ lbs. Add me to the growing list of friends who can help keep you motivated. I've managed to loose 26 lbs since rejoining MFP in July. So far just by tracking what I eat, because I was over 300 lbs and it's hard to join a gym or do strenuous activities. (bad knees and ankles) Calories are key to loosing so you have to change your mind set about how much and what you eat. I'm not on a diet, i eat what i want, just in moderation so set your calorie goal and stick to it. I walk a minimum of 10,000 steps a day and do a little strength training mixed in now that I've lost those first 20 lbs.
    You have to start somewhere so why not right here where there are tons of people willing to support you. Good luck on your journey, it's all about making healthier choices to better your life.

    Hi! I just recently joined MFP and have 100+ to lose. So far I am down 15 but a long way to go...... It's always great to have extra support in this journey :smile:

    MFP has a "200+ pounds to lose" message board. It has "Weight Watchers" in the name but that is where they started. Some of them do WW and some do calorie counting on MFP.

    Several of the people started dieting when they weighed over 300 pounds. One person weighed well over 400 pounds and is now down in the mid-200's. They have a lot of success and have experienced all of the struggles with dieting: starting, plateauing, regaining, recommitting, exercising, finding recipes, discovering new foods, etc. Whatever your diet plan is, you will be welcome there.
