Anyone have over 200 lbs to lose? It feels overwhelming. I keep telling my husband, I am not just a fat person - I am TWO fat people. Ugh. Anyway, I am 1 week in, down 3 lbs. I've always been overweight but I've still been active. At this weight I am getting winded walking to my car and I have pain in my back, knees, legs, everywhere. I gained 87 lbs in the last year to get to this point. I am hoping this is what rock bottom feels like. Anyone else in the same boat? Or close?

    I have about 130 pounds to lose. I've started this journey several times, only to fall back into bad habits. This years started out pretty good, I lost 15 pounds fairly easily. Then my mother passed away suddenly/unexpectedly on 2/24 and I lost all motivation. I have pulled myself back up, dusted myself off, and am re-focused on the end goal. I am also fighting colon cancer for the 2nd time and I KNOW that a healthier lifestyle can only help. Reading these boards and keeping track of my food intake helps more than I ever thought it would. We can all do this!

    I have gained more than 100 lbs, but that is not my failure, it is an opportunity to see what went wrong. I need to reassess my fitness with the help of a professional, and do it. No body does anything for you or me. I need to do it, and you need to do it, too. If I can do it, then I will crave for losing more weight. I will be discomforted, I will be disheartened, and I will be looked down, upon. I will be fighting it, though. without even a fight, how can I give up? How can I do anything without the motive to be better. How can I keep my dream alive? I must suppress the feeling of accomplishment as it will be my biggest enemy of growth.

    106 lbs to lose. I don't even eat anything tasty ever so "cutting out" bad foods isn't going to be something I can do to lose weight just need to work out a lot and measure everything.

    I'm so glad to have found this I don't have 200 to lose but I do have 145 it's such a daunting task and my husband just doesn't understand he always tells me your not fat when I talk about it but I'm not saying it to be negative about myself I'm saying it cause its a fact. Trying to get back on track from my health problems need all the love and support I can get and feel free to add me as a friend to.

    I dont think it matter whether you have 50lbs or 500lbs we are all in the same boat. WE let bad eating habits rule our lives long enough. Mine is 25 years and at my max 235lbs meant I needed or should I say want to lose 55lbs.

    The process is the same calories in calories out and increasing your activity. Is it easy NOPE. Can it be done YES!!!! look at those who have succeeded and tell yourself I can be just like them.

    I am 215 and my goal is 190. I don't want to set to high of a goal and get frustrated. I am bad at wanting to weigh myself everyday and then get upset when I see my weight fluctuate. Then I quit.
