    I'd like to shed 100 pounds as well. I'm vegetarian, recovering from foot surgery - can't exercise much, and trying to eliminate carbs. Frustrated by the scale that toys with me two pounds up and down. I'd love to join the journey with the rest of you. I keep telling myself I got this way one bite at a time, and it is going to have to come off the same way!

    Making very small goals 7 lbs at a time never look at the big amount you need to lose
    find new ways to make food you like eg cauliflower rice
    Still eat big meals so you don't feel you are missing out lots of low calorie veg ( I put a very big low calorie salad with a small piece of pizza so don't feel I am missing out on things )
    Homemade low calorie veg soup - fills you up ( I always had when eating out that night )
    When you stop losing normally your body is so used to having same amount of calories each day so have a high calorie day then a normal day then a very low day ( you have same amount you are meant to over 4 days but have high/normal /very low / normal day )

    I have 100 lbs to lose, and I am almost 40 years old with a work at home desk job and 5 kids. I am so inspired by your motivation. This is my 3rd time around. I lost 100 lbs about 2 years ago, but have only added just enough back to make my 18's fit a little too snug (I hadn't been in an 18 since I was 15, and that was dropping from a size 38 jean). You are stronger than you realize, and I have faith in you that, this time, you will not only reach your goal, but surpass it, maintain it, and never gain it back again. Feel free to add me, if you like. We could all use the buddy system here...and Lord knows I need folks to slap the chocolate outta my hand.

    I am very encouraged by your post! I cant decide what diet to use. Just going by calories isnt working good. I seemed to lose some on Akins diet and Weight Watchers. Any suggestions? I weigh 303.7lbs. I want to lose 150lbs. Got a long way to go.

    Are you being accurate with your logging? Using a food scale is the only way to be for sure. Losing weight is not about cutting out certain foods, like carbs, or chocolate. You can whatever foods you want as long as you burn more calories than you take in. That's how you lose weight. If you not burning enough your not going to loose. Now don't get me wrong you can loose without exercise. Your body burns calories at rest. However if your eating a lot of calories it won't make a difference. MFP's settings are pretty good. So if I were you I would stick to those calories and keep going. Don't deprive yourself. If it fits in you calories for the day eat it. Good luck!!

    I had 103.6 lbs to lose when I started on April 1st, I still have 90.3 lbs to go.. :) So I will be at this awhile yet.

    I am using a fitbit Blaze to track my activity and eating at a 1000 calorie deficit. So, if I move more I eat more. I'm not logging my food here though, just at the fitbit site. I weigh and measure everything.
    I will warn you though that I do weigh in and log my weight every single day, so, if you don't want daily weights gumming up your feed you might not want me as a friend. :)
