100+ lbs to lose

Hey, I'm 38 and I'm a SAHM to 3. I have 126 pounds to lose to reach my goal of 150. But lets be honest I will be extremely excited to be below 200! That's my goal for my birthday in August. This week my goal is to track what I eat and next week I'll start my workouts. I would love to find some people to connect with and to build a community of support!

    I would love to be part of this group. I'm 4'10" and weighing in at 228 lbs currently. I'm down 15 since my birthday on November! But I want to be under 200 by my oldest's 10th birthday in March. It's been a long road but I'm so ready to be healthy again.

    I, too, have over 100 pounds to lose. I was at my heaviest at the start of 2016. I gained back a lot of weight after being diagnosed with Lupus this past August. Now that I have my medicine routine down, I'm getting back on track.

    So far I'm down almost 3 pounds just from the 1st (I know, mostly water weight).

    Anyone can add me. I know we all have those moments where we need someone to talk us out of caving into the temptation of unhealthy eating or skipping workouts.

    Hello. This is my first time doing this. I have lost 68 lbs in the last year, but I still have over 150 to go. Prepping for weight loss surgery, but I am hoping to lose as much as I can before this.

    I feel like a failure. I am the heaviest I have ever been at 260. I have set a goal to get down to a fit and fabulous 150. I have given myself a 2 year window to accomplish this by switching to a Ketogenic diet. My husband and I started that about 6 months ago but family members kept sabotaging our progress (family dinners) I am determined to succeed this time by focusing on my own health and nobody else. So i join you all on this journey. Best of luck to everyone.

    Anyone on this thread is welcome to add me! I too have a Onederland goal for this year! I have lost 68 lbs ( gained about 15 back over the course of this year) and have kept that weight off since 2012 when I started on here. Need some new friends as this site has changed a bunch and I don't know anyone anymore! Currently 230 and would like to be 195-190 :)

    I haven't reached onederland yet but I'm close. I started at 310. Feel free to add me or send any questions.

    Your first step of tracking is definitely the way to go. Don't make too many changes at once. Also, what worked for me, was setting small goals. I started with a goal to lose 35 pounds. As I lost I updated my goals.

    Working with a 2 year window is pretty open ended. I would suggest shifting your focus on day by day logging and eating at a deficit. Maybe a goal of a good week also makes sense. But more than that and it's easy to get discouraged and give up.

    About family members sabotaging your diet, try being more flexible about you eating plan. I don't know if you're going the keto route for health or other reasons, but it's pretty restrictive. Focusing on eating at a deficit is all that's needed for weight loss. When I started I made it very clear to my wife that I'm not about to eat anything I don't like and I'm not cutting out anything I do. Well, I did cut out cake. But I still eat all my favorite foods including ice cream. Obviously, it has to be according to the plan.

    Good luck and definitely don't feel like a failure. It took my 40 years to finally get it done.

    Well, started this journey yesterday after downloading and deleting "pacer" a dozen times or so until it functioned in a respectable approximation of what it advertised it was suppose to do. While perusing the app's functions I ran across the mention of "myfitnesspal" that works in conjunction with the app so thought I would give it a go as well. A little about myself, (as you can see from the horrendous picture that I bravely displayed for all to see), I have well over 100 lbs to lose. This is the heaviest I have ever been and I feel rather ashamed of myself for letting it get this far. Four years ago a trauma happened in my family that left me (and my faith in God and mankind) shaken and I excused myself from the human race and took an extended "unpaid" sabbatical to recover from the upheaval that pretty much destroyed my will to function in society. I dropped out of college, pulled my kids from public school (which actually was a good thing, just done for the wrong reasons), and destroyed my health. I now struggle with hypothyroidism and other various issues, but there is no one to blame for my self destructive downfall but myself. It has been a long journey and I still have a ways to go, but I have recovered from the worst of it and am ready to rejoin the human race and repair the damage that has been done both physically and spiritually. I am starting off with manageable goals to begin with, 3k steps a day, 1800 calories a day, 8 glasses of water a day, and Pilates three times a week. If anyone else also feels the pain of struggling to stay motivated day to day when the world of wide web offers so many Oh so many delightful distractions, feel free to extend an invitation of friendship and I'll see what I can do to offer up some semblance of motivational support in your direction. Cheers!
