    Another with about 100lb to lose. I'm in the UK as well. What calorie limit are you using? I'm thinking about the 2lb a week loss at 1200 calories to keep me going but on day 3 it's a struggle already! I also worry about loose skin.

    How much do you weigh? The general standard is to aim for no more than 1% loss per week....so if you are 200 lbs or over then 2lbs per week is fine.

    My doctor set my calories at 1350 per day......I started at 273 lbs and I'm down to 236 lbs now. I started out losing about 3 lbs per week but I'm losing about 2 lbs per week now. 1200 calories is probably too low for you. What does the MFP diary suggest for you?

    I worry about loose skin too.....but I figure I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

    Yet another Uk person! I’m doing about 1400 a day so far but only on day 2 but feeling fine. 1200 from past experience was too low for me. I worry about loose skin but figure it will be better with exercise.

    I'm in as well. Just about 100 for me as well. I also lost a lot about 10 years ago and have since gained it all back and then some. This time is it!

    Just wanted to post and encourage each of you. You can do it!! I lost just over 100 lbs in 2017 and have maintained the loss for more than 15 months. I changed what and how much I ate and joined a gym where I got active. Nothing more. Nothing less. Weigh and log your food... it does make a difference. I never cut out anything... still had bread, still had sweets... just less with portion control.


    And this. So inspiring. Thank you and congrats x

    You're welcome ~ Stay positive. Keep yourself surrounded by like minded people who will encourage and inspire you. Don't have it at home... come here.

    Adding you. Several years ago I lost 65 pound, gained it back, got pregnant and then gained more. This year I am getting myself back.

    Striving for 100lb weight loss. Not ready to share my starting weight yet.

    Anyone else feel free to add me.

    I love the line "getting myself back" - it's so easy to loose yourself along the way sometimes.

    Good luck :)

    Just starting my journey as well, for the millionth time. I'm 5'9 and last weighed in at 307 on January 2nd. My goal weight is 160, so I have a long way to go but I'm motivated this time! I'm starting my fitness challenge at a new gym on the 7th and will be purging my kitchen this weekend and meal prepping! Feel free to add me if you want! Let's help motivate each other 😁

    I can't figure out how to add people so add me!

    Hi everyone!

    Well, it's been 3 weeks since Caroline started this thread and I thought for those who are following this and reading everyone's stories it would be a good time to check in!

    How are you doing? Are you logging food? Have you lost inches/pounds? Any non-scale victories? I'm definitely looking for and needing some inspiration!

    Here's my update... I have started to exercise one a week with a personal trainer, but that is a slow process. My knees and hips hurt too much, so it's mostly strength training for my arms and core. Also, I haven't lost anything in these three weeks. My goals for the next three weeks arr to log my food and to get my steps in each day.

    Anyone else want to check in?

    Hi. I started in fall with a little over 100 pounds to lose. Currently 240 and would like to drop to 135-140. I have been exercising 3-5 times a week. More water and less pop. I haven't been counting calories but have started doing so today. I sent you a friend request on here. ( I'm going to send some to others on this thread as well).
