    I'm trying to lose 100+ pounds as well. I'm disabled, so I'm focusing hard on the food management aspect (as exercise is limited). I just started last week and have gone from 350 to 346, so it seems to be working.

    I'm working on starting a new group for those like me who are morbidly obese with health issues and need to lose in the neighborhood of 100 pounds. Go to my blog and comment about any ideas you may have if you're interested. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/corrarjo

    I just read your blog and it seems we are on similar journeys. Lots of unhealthy eating habits over years finally catching up with us. I started at 310 lbs on 11/26 and this morning the scale said 283 lbs. One of the other groups I belong to has the True Weight component. This has really helped me get over the "not so good days". I also use Deficit=TDEE-Intake to measure my daily journey. Being a numbers guy I have found this to be a much better way for me.
    Living at the beach I jokingly say that this summer I want to be able to spend a day on the beach without people trying to roll me back in the water....SAVE THE WHALE!

    Would like to be included in the "100 club". I'm 355lbs now. Down 5lbs from last month. Does anyone know if you can use a fitbit with MyFitnessPal? I find it much easier to add food, etc. Fitbit app doesn't work right. Thanks.

    I use the fitbit with MFP. For my food I use MFP. I'm living in Holland and fitbit food bank doesn't work here. But MFP does work very good. The only thing that works fine in fitbit are the steps count. The exercises is better in MFP. Just combinate the two and you have a fantastic MFP.

    So, there is a "Biggest Loser" competition where I work. All of the participants are on teams. I told my team members that instead of trying to lose big chunks of weight at once, just shoot for 1-2 lbs a week. Begrudgingly, they agreed. At first other teams (5 to a team) were losing 20-25 lbs a week whereas my team's largest loss through the 1st 4 weeks was 11 lbs. Now, after this week, we are still averaging 10.6 lbs lost per week. Those big loss teams are struggling to lose 5 lbs total a week and a couple of the teams are adding weight. Trying to make people understand that losing slow and steady is always tough, until they actually see the progress/results.

    Hope everyone has a good day!

    Hi everyone. I too have over 100 pounds to lose. I started at 250 and am now at 240. I am looking to hit between 130 and 140. I am so tired of starting over and being unhappy and unhealthy.
