HELP! Please Add Me... 100+ pounds to lose

LithaSonner · February 2017

I need friends to encourage me and help keep me accountable.

In 2004 I was diagnosed with PCOS. This last week I was diagnosed with Diabetes. Last Monday I weighed 303 pounds... The highest I've ever been. I'm ready to change.

I have cut out all sweet drinks. I am only drinking water and unsweet tea. I see the doctor again Friday.

Hi I tried to send you a message but there was a "server error" whatever that means. If you'd like to be friends please send me a request. I also need encouragement...maybe we can help each other.

Welcome on your weight loss journey!! 2015 I weighed a little more than you and lost 80 lbs. I was hospitalized and my journey went to Carbs.... I gained over half of that and decided I was healthy enough to get back into it! I started with the gym for three weeks and saw no results other than tone and inches. Im determined exercise and healthy living is the solution. So now I am onto the diet and daily exercise (5 out a 7 at least). Im just staying to my mantra... its about progress not perfection.

I am 5' 2", was once 270 lbs and also was dx'd with PCOS. You're not alone. By using Weight Watchers, I lost 145 lbs. I needed the face-to-face meetings and the accountability of walking into a store and weighing in. I was once horribly intimidated by being in front of people for the meetings, but it ended up being the most powerful part of my weight loss journey. I'm not promoting Weight Watchers, but you have to find what really works for you. It's okay going out of your comfort zone to make a big, positive change in your life. It's only uncomfortable for a short time.

As someone who did lose the weight, there's a whole other world out there. Being able to move without pain is well worth it. So is the social aspect...you no longer thing people are staring at you. You can move thru life as a "normal person", as I never felt "normal" when I was morbidly obese.

You can do this. Set small, reasonable goals and give yourself a small non-food reward when you reach a mini-goal.

You have to know that you're worth it. You have loved ones that need you. Be there for them by being there for yourself.

Good luck

I also have PCOS and find weight loss painfully slow.
I found a low GI diet is helping me lose weight easier

I'll add you

I have been back for about 3 weeks after a 3 year hiatus (was doing pretty well, and then injuries and health issues happened). Feel free to add me, and anyone else on the this thread as well - a lot of my MFP friends from 3 years ago have moved on.......

Kschmidt64 · February 2017

I have over a 100-125 to lose. Hang in there life gets better. I am having the gastric sleeve done on just over a month. Feel free to add me as a friend. Remember, you need to eat low fat/carb foods and protein. Pintrest has a lot of ideas. I have a 100 Calorie folder with low fat/carb recipients. Feel free to use them.

I too need to lose over 100lbs. I was dx with PCOS as a child and I have continuously gained weight every year. I am currently 32 years old and weighing 281lbs. I have 2 daughters (6 and 10 years old) and work full time so by the time I sit down at night I am exhausted. I need to get myself back and live not only for them but for myself. I spend all my free time between dance, karate and soccer for them and I use this as an excuse to ignore my own wellbeing/health. I am happy to find a group of women like yourselves so that we can build relationships to keep ourselves motivated and focused on our well being. I would appreciate if you could add me also to the group.

3 years ago I decided to finally get healthy. The extra 200 lbs that I was carrying was literally destroying my health. PCOS diabetes arthritis. I was in constant pain and miserable. I finally dedicated my life to getting healthy. I lost 100 lbs in a year.
After the first 100 I hit a wall. Long painful story short I realized that I was working so hard to deal with my physical issues and I had don't nothing to deal with the emotional reasons I gained all that weight. I had to face the music again...and I did.
This year I've decided it's time for weight loss 2.0

100 lbs down and 100 to go! I would love to have some accountability buddies. But I honestly struggle being accountable to people that have little weight to lose. Dropping that last 20 and extreme weight loss is EXTREMELY different.
I will try to add u guys but when I try I get an error message so please add me

Hang in there! It gets better! I have a thyroid issue that makes it difficult to lose weight and I'm prediabetic so I know it's scary when you realize you have to get your life In order! I gained about 50lbs in the first year being with my boyfriend and since June I've lost 35.6 of it- I still have a long way to go but feel free to friend request me and we can share secrets and keep each other motivated !!!

shaylabruton · February 2017

I have used MFP before and lost close to 50 pounds. That was four years ago and since then I have gained it back plus some. I'm looking to get back at it and really step up my game this time. Would love some more friends to help keep me motivated and just help me with questions I may have. And I'd like to help others as well, if I can.

AceyFace87 · February 2017
