    I started two weeks ago and I actually need to drop about 125!! I’m always here to chat and I wish you nothing but the best. My wife and I are doing Atkins. I am down 16.5 pounds in just over two weeks, and starting to feel great!! Feel free to add me as a friend so that we can communicate!!

    I have lost over 100 lbs. The MFP tool and the community here have been very useful.

    If you'd like a group of friends and some structure for accountability, I'm a member of an MFP group that is wonderfully supportive. It's a monthly team weight loss challenge (the goal being for all of us to win!). If you join, you get assigned to one of several teams, and your weigh-ins would start counting for the team in June. There are optional daily check-ins -- very helpful when you use them, as you check in on how you are doing on your plan for yourself as regards food, water, exercise, plus any other health goals you had for the day. Weigh-in is weekly on whatever day you choose. People on the teams share challenges, victories, ideas and generally cheer each other on. Join the group, if this sounds appealing!

    From my highest weight to my current weight, I have lost 117 pounds. I've come a LONG way but I still have some work to do. It is absolutely possible but it does take time, strength, and motivation! Best of luck to you, if you are looking for support feel free to add me.

    Please add me! I need to lose 100 pounds. Having two babies within 3 years, working full time, and life’s hurdles, I have put myself on the back burner. It’s time to take control!

    I've dropped over 100 since last July. I still have a ways to go. Best advice: login to the app or website daily, track everything you can since CICO matters, and stick to whatever way of eating you find works best for you long term. If you have a bad day, just grind through it and get to the next.

    Good luck and I hope you find what works for you! Luckily in your area, there's no shortage of sports, gyms, clubs, parks, and so on. Even if it's playing disc downtown, every bit of activity helps. But strictly calorie counting can see major results.

    I've started and stopped and started and stopped, not sure how this time is going to go but I do know the key is to log my food daily so that is my first goal. Log my food everyday for the next 30 days, no matter what I eat! If I eat it I enter it.

    Even if you don't always get all your food logged, log what you can but most importantly, log in! Getting used to using the app and/or website is key. It's sad to see how many people get motivated, go at it for a day, and leave. The hardest part if logging in everyday, and we can all do that for the most part. Just speaking from experience, login to the app whether you're doing well or not, whether you're logging or not, whether you are losing or not.

    Good luck to everyone that is trying! I hope OP comes back and finds something that works.

    I needed to loose 50, and I've done 34 so far. Its taken 10 months of slow and steady logging.
    I use a Fitbit and am now jogging too, something I never thought I'd do.
    Just log everything and I love the Fitbit as it counts all my activities.
    Slow and steady; restrict nothing, just build it in to your calories with the right portions!
    I love ice cream and eat it frequently! But I do count it.

    MFP is a wonderful app and the community is exceptionally supportive. You will be fine.

    I started in January with 162 lbs to lose. I now have 85 lbs to go. I know I have come a long way but sometimes it is difficult to stay motivated because it doesn't always feel like I am getting anywhere. The mirror can be my enemy because, for some reason, I can't always see my progress, physically. I have to take pics, periodically, to see the change. I have a long way to go and know it will get harder as I get closer to my goal. I just want to be able to stay focused.

    The thing is? Don’t worry about “losing 100 pounds”... the truth is, you can’t. All YOU can do is handle your 24 hours of eating right and being physically active. Then you hand things off to the version of you from tomorrow and that person takes care of the next 24 hours, and so on, and so on.

    Thank you for this, it is great message and it is going in my collection of inspirational quotes.
