    Hi! I started out at 330, and have made it down to 278 and still have over 100 to go to get to the top of my goal range (160s). Been there, and totally get it.

    Welcome! :)

    That great for you! Any main tips you can give me? I laugh when I think about how upset I was when I reached 200lbs and now I'm at 300lb. Go figure! We got this! People say that nothing taste better than skinny feels. Well nothing tastes worse than fat feels. Lol

    My best advice is don't look at how far you have left to go. Divide it up into mini goals, every 10 pounds or something, and work toward that. Give yourself small rewards along the way. Nail polish. A new book. A manicure or pedicure. Some small treat. A charm bracelet, then add a new charm every 10 pounds. Celebrate without food. 10 pounds is not an insignificant amount.

    It can be overwhelming if you focus on "I have 100 pounds to lose." Focus on getting to 299. then 290, then 280. and so on. You'll get there, eventually. Don't be in a rush. Don't play the "How few calories can I eat today without going insane?" game.

    Also, don't give up if you have a bad day. One little mistake is not going to make you gain it all back. Get up, dust off, and keep going. :)

    Very true about not looking at the 100lbs to go. 10 lbs at a time sounds great.
