Looking for Friends who have 100+ Pounds to lose.

I started MFP this week and I started at 292.5 and I'm currently at 286. I want to lose 100+ pounds.

I'm not fat due to my genes. I just tend to eat too many calories. I'm used to 5000-6000 calories a day. I'm currently eating under 1800 per day.

This week I've purposely tried to keep my meals even at 30% of my calories each. This has seemed to help me a lot since I'm not as hungery later in the day.

I've traditionally been a late eater and I didn't eat much for breakfast. So I'm trying something different.

I'm open to any tips on some good recipes that are easy to make and satisfying under 500 calories.

Add me as a friend if you have similar goals and would like to encourage each other. I'll be a positive influence.

    Hi DjPorkchop73,

    Thanks for reaching out to me! I'd love to be friends with you too. Not sure how to do it on this app. I recently switched over from the lose it app. I like MFP way better.

    This is my 3rd day trying to balance out my meals and it has been so much easier! Congrats on your weight loss so far. Keep up the good work!

    I started out with just over 100 to lose and I'm down 60 now! High protein and lots of veggies helps a lot with lower calorie meals :) Feel free to add me!

    Hello, I have been on MFP for a while. I lost 87 pounds then broke my shoulder in two places a tear ago. Due to inactivity, multiple illnesses and a lapse into poor eating habits I have gained most of the weight back. I would be glad to be friends with anyone. Just send me a request. This is one of the best places to be and it does work.

    Hi enfolium,

    I have a similar weight loss goal in mind. My heaviest currently is 338, and I'm looking to be at 200 lbs as a long term goal, and then re-evaluate at that point. At one point back in 2012, I was able to go from 320 to 270 from November to February of 2013. I ended up derailing myself after February when my mother passed away, but I'm back and ready to give it another go since I know what's worked in the past. But I think this time, I just need some more motivation from like-minded people and encouragement. I can help encourage other people, but I just find it difficult to apply the same to myself which is odd, but... if you'd like to be friends, I can message you - anyone else is free to message or add me :smile: I would love having more friends!

    Hello, I'm friend requesting you and invite everyone else to friend me as well.
    I have 165 lbs to lose. I'm at 343 right now but my high weight is 355 (well I was 400 when I had my son because of preeclampsia and swelling but I lost 60 lbs within a month and a half of his birth, so I tend not to count it) I would love to have more friend in a similar situation. I'm following a keto diet so our meals will be a little different but goals are the same!

    I weigh 283. I would like to lose120 lbs to lose. I have been wanting to lose for years. and the more I obsess about it the more I don't seem to be able to get anywhere. I have talked myself out of dieting and learning to eat healthier. I start every day new with I am gonna do it and by afternoon I start falling apart. by the time I get home in the evening I want to eat anything. I wish someone who is doing well could share their menu.

    I know how you feel, I am starting my journey again this week. I am starting at 259 and my heaviest was 265. I suffer from anxiety and stress like crazy. It can be hard to focus and to stay on track. I have been over weight my whole life pretty much. I would do so many different diets and I would lose some weight but then I would get off track and gain it back with some friends. This past year has been really crazy and I went from 219 to the 265 in about 5 months and now I have to worry about my blood pressure for the first time.

    My goal is to lose 125 and I am trying to do this before I turn 30 in 2 years. Even if I don't hit the main goal by then I just want to be at a better place before I hit that next decade of my life. Anyone can add me, looking for some good weight loss support and motivation.
