in Motivation and Support
Hello, I am in the process of losing 160 lbs.

I am looking for some support from people who are going through this too or people who have already been through this and have come out the other side.

Please join me and we can lean on each other.

    Was 265, down to 170. But with setbacks and life, (read: eating and not working out) back up to 215... trying to get back down and catch this seemingly run away weight train!
    Making sure I do some workout E.V.E.R.Y. DAY. (30min or 1 hour) and trying to control my diet (it'll be better after these cookies are gone) i know...

    I have just under 100 lbs to lose now...I'm 6'3" and started at 285 and want to get to 185. Annoyed that MFP won't let you calculate more than 2 lbs of weight to lose per week. There is no way I can wait a year or more to look decent.

    Hey there friend!
    My journey started last week and I'm looking for some accountability/ support buddies.
    I've got 120 lbs to lose so I'd be happy to go in with you on this!

    I started at 286, now down to 160. My doc set my goal at 155, but I might want to go down to 145. It started in November of 2018. Just rewarded myself for my efforts with a tummy tuck & arm lift :)

    Kristie, how much did the TT & AL cost?

    I went to Miami, which is the hot bed of plastic surgery in the US. I paid $16,100. This was FAR less than my quotes in Seattle which ranged from $30,000-$40,000. Even after paying for flights, a rental car, and an AirBnB I came out way ahead. There are “chop shop” clinics in Miami that you can get it done for even less, but I chose a doc who is known to do very good work and had an excellent safety record.

    Hi! I'm in the process of losing 170 pounds. So far I'm down 31 pounds. That took me a year though. I joined today hoping to start tracking my food so I can speed this up. I need more accuracy and accountability. Add me! And anyone else looking for support 🙂🙂

    Welcome! I’ve been using MFP to track my intake and exercise for the last 1.5 years, during which I’ve lost 126 lbs. it’s a great tool, and a great supportive community!

    I think I need to lose about 100 pounds, maybe a little more. I'm in a place now where I've become ashamed to leave the house and I don't want to feel that way. I have never reached out to others for motivation and support before. anyone feel free to add me. I've had an account forever but I'm still learning how to use it.

    Try to count your weight in KG instead of LBS - https://howkgtolbs.com/convert/15-kg-to-lbs - you will be more motivated and you will like the result, its all in your head brother!!
