Ladies who have 100+ lbs to lose

Hi. 64 yo RN, 5'4", was 255 lbs 9/14/20. Was 240.5 lbs 5/3/21. Started MFP 5/14/21. 133 lbs to lose. 10/13/21-188.8 lbs-66.2 lbs off so far, so almost 1/2 way. Lost this same amount before in 2009-2010 and then got lazy and gained it back. Lots of clothes in my closet to get back into again!

Hi!! I really want to be part of this group! I need a LOT of help. I’m 5’5” and a bit over 250 pounds. I put on almost 100 pounds since the pandemic. My body has changed so much. I am trying to make small changes to what I eat, but it’s a struggle dealing with all my cravings! I also am not really in shape to exercise. I have never been a very active girl and most workouts are just too challenging for me….

I would love to lose 100 pounds but honestly just getting to 200 would feel like such a big accomplishment for me!! Please friend request me and help me lose the weight!!!

I made a thread about my weight here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10839023/getting-back-in-shape-after-80-pound-pandemic-weight-gain-please-help/p1

That thread was in July and I feel really ashamed that I haven’t made any progress since then. I really need to feel a lot of encouragement and support please!!

Hey everyone! Another yo yo dieter over here...certainly the heaviest I've ever been in my whole life and to be honest keep trying to look for the 'easy' option, but the truth is the last time I did really well, lost weight, and felt so amazing and confident in my body was 2015 by having a personal trainer and logging on MFP. Fast forward several years, I've taken the plunge and joined a 28 day challenge at a local small gym with a PT, and am back on MFP...Hoping I survive my 1st 6:30am training session next Monday!

As an American living in the UK I always find it really comforting to be able to spend time talking with others (like me) as they have such different views on weight and weight loss here that it will be nice to engage with a group like this one;)

Thanks and good luck!

Behaved very well over Thanksgiving and today I hit an 80 lb weight loss since 9/14/20 of my 133 lb goal. Also 1 more lb and I'll be classified as overweight instead of Obese!

Hey there! I have over 100 to loose too! Please add me! I need new MFP buddies!

Hi- kinda late to your post but definitely interested in having A support group. Im also in my mid 30s and today is my first day recommitting to my health goals.

Hi! I'm a mom in my 30's and have about 110 lbs to lose! feel free to add i need new MFP friends too

Well I didn't get to the 180 or below. Had an uptick to 181.8 lbs but I was true to my calories, carbs, water and exercise so just a normal weight fluctuation. So I lost 30.2 lbs during the 3 month challenge. Which is excellent!

So starting 11/1 at 181.8 lbs with goal of 15 lbs for the 3 months. This 10 lb average / month that has been going on has got to slow down soon, I'm thinking.

Welcome back to past challengers and to the new ones!
64 yo 5' 4" Heaviest Weight twice-255 lbs, got down to 122 lbs 2010 and kept it off 5 years then got lazy.
11/1/21-181.8 lbs
11/7/21-180 lbs! Down 75 lbs.
11/14/21-176.6 lbs! Down 5.2 lbs of my monthly goal of 5 lbs and my 15 lbs for the 3 months. 78.4 lbs lost. About 60% loss of my goal of 133 lbs to lose. Did 223 minutes on my Elliptical today. I wanted to finish the last 10 minutes of the movie and wanted to hit the 16 mile mark!

11/21/21-177.4 lbs-stayed under my allotted calories/water but did eat 400-600 more calories than my usual 1000-1200. Had 1689 but with exercise was allowed 3804. I don't normally eat any of my exercise calories back. I have been losing about 10 lbs/month but expected it to slow down a month or 2 ago. Guess thats what it is doing now.

11/28/21-175 lbs. Down 80 lbs total, 6.8 lbs for November goal of 5 lbs! I did fairly well on Thanksgiving. I did my Elliptical in the morning (216 minutes-15.25 miles) At the 3 pm lunch I only ate meat (turkey, ham & pork) and broccoli and no gravy. (The sides just weren't calling to me to eat/try them, as usual, in the past). Later that night I did have a small piece of a homemade flan (I never had it before and the girl who made it is in pastry school) and someone else brought a pumpkin cheesecake that looked wondrous, from a Farmer's Market bakery, that I had brought home. I had 1,357 calories of my allotted 3,810, for the day.

12/1/21-176.2 lbs
12/5/21-171.8 lbs- Down 4.4 lbs for December already. Total 83.2 lbs
Crossed out of Obese Category into Overweight yesterday. Also wearing size 10 jeans for a couple weeks but tried on a brand new pair of 8's with the tags on yesterday. Zipped them right up easily but my flabby belly hangs out bad over the waistband so abdominal crunches starting!

Hi! I'm Mary from Pennsylvania.
Back again! Will post weight on Sundays. Sticking with what has been working for me since 5/14/21. 1000-1200 calories/day,
Net Carbs15 +/- 3 grams(some days actually less), 70+ oz water/day, only 2 meals/day on non work days (I work 4 days/week) and exercise on my non work days (as I work long days).
UGW-122 lbs
Down 84.2 lbs of 132 lb goal to lose.

Oct goal was 10 lbs Almost made it!, loss -9.6 lbs
Nov goal was 5 lbs Made it, loss -5.6 lbs!
Dec goal is also 5 lbs, loss so far -5.4 lbs! Made my goal!

9/14/20-255 lbs Highest weight twice :-(
5/3/21-240.5 lbs
6/1/21-228.8 lbs
7/1/21-222.2 lbs
8/1/21-212.0 lbs
9/1/21-200.0 lbs
10/1/21-191.4 lbs
11/1/21-181.8 lbs
12/1/21-176.2 lbs

12/5/21-171.8 lbs. I'm wearing size 10 jeans but yesterday I tried on a brand new pair of 8's, (with tags on) l found in my closet. I zipped them right up without any trouble. Only reason I won't wear them yet is my flabby stomach hangs over the waist really bad. Need to start doing abdominal crunches! Also as of yesterday I am no longer Obese on the BMI scale (even though as a RN, I don't really think it's a super tool. My sons who are very fit, are sometimes classified as Obese and one only has 4-6% body fat. We seem to be solidly built people. I've always weighed more than people think). So I'm now Overweight! Can't wait though to hit the Normal anyway! About 26-28 lbs to go for that.

12/12/21-170.8 lbs Was at a work Christmas bowling party last night. They had snacks and were to have some Keto friendly ones. They had pizza, french fries and BREADED chicken nuggets. I didn't have any. Glad I took some of my own to munch. I had a hard boiled egg, colby jack string cheese, pecans and water.
I expected a bigger drop today. Was hoping for 160 something but will take it. I did 242 minutes on my Elliptical for 17 miles today.

Couldn't wait for my regular weigh-in day on Sunday. I just had to share...
12/14/21-169.4 lbs! Finally under 170! But now all I think about is the next goal for the scale of under 150! Down 85.6 lbs total, 12.4 lbs already of my 15 lb goal for November, December & January. I had a later start for my Elliptical today so only did 140 minutes for 11 miles.

I was reading through your post and thought I was reading something I wrote that's pretty much where I am !!! Let's all add each other I like to have people who are at the same level and have the same goals as me for support!! I'll be a cheerleader for all of you

12/25/21-167.2 lbs I did 180 minutes on my Elliptical for 11.3 miles. I did well for my food intake with prime rib, roasted veggies and a strawberry, feta spring salad with nuts with no dressing on it but I did have pumpkin cheesecake. I was under for my calories though.
12/26/21-165.6 lbs! So I lost over Thanksgiving and Christmas! Did 240 minutes on my Elliptical today for 16 miles. Wearing size 8 jeans today and a medium flannel shirt I haven't worn since 2014. I'm down 89.4 lbs of my 133 lb loss goal. 90 lbs is just around the corner and 100 lbs around the bend. I also had a goal of 15 lbs for Nov, Dec and Jan and I'm already at a loss of 16.2 lbs with 5 days left for December. I'm not going to slow down but keep on what is working for me. Full steam ahead!
