mooore than 100 lbs to lose. HELLA embarrassing but gotta st

You're not the first person to want to lose over 100 lbs. I'd recommend going to the success stories part of the forums. There are lots of people who have lost way more than 100!

Don't be embarrased. We are all here to lose weight. Some maybe 10 pounds and others maybe 100 and more. You are doing great by getting on the site and starting to get your weight under control. If you need support please feel free to add me. I'm trying to lose up to 90lbs so i'm in the same boat with you. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

I need to lose about 100lbs! Feel free to add me as a friend if you want extra support. This site is awesome for motivation and helping keep you on track!

Welcome! There are many people here with substantial weight loss goals. The success stories are great encouragement and really help show that there is no one road to successful weight loss. Some people lose it quickly, others much more slowly, some fall off the wagon and get back on, etc. I am one of those slow losers and the site really helps keep me going even when I feel as if there has been no progress.

It is great encouragement to see people who have lost 100, 150, 200 pounds and how dramatically their lives have changed.

WELCOME!!! Definitely you are not alone! Don't be afraid of just jumping in here and requesting to be friends. That will be your success. The more friends you have, the greater your success, because this site is packed full of non-judgmental pals who will motivate, encourage and pump you so full of energy! Best of luck to you and don't hesitate friending me.

Welllllllcome to MFP.

Good for you for taking a huge first step. I joined MFP in March but was already committed to exercise and needed guidance on food. This site has been amazing, especially the support system, so it can help you too! I've lost just over 60 lbs this year, and in reality, to be considered a healthy weight for my height, I should lose another 75 lbs, so I understand what you're facing! In reality, I'd be comfortable with 50 more, so around 110 total.

Feel free to add me and BEST OF LUCK (it's not really luck but perserverence :bigsmile: !)

Hello Elisapesi, I want to first say welcome. Never been embarrassed about how much you want to lose. You are not your body or weight. You are human. Love your body.

I love motivating and encourage people. If you want me as your cheerleader, I'm here.

I had over 100 to lose and now happy to say I have less then a 100 to lose. DON'T be embarrassed, you can be embarrassed for all those who are not trying or quit trying to lose the weight. Nothing wrong with getting started then you will be like me and be proud that you have a little less then 100 to lose. Get ready Get Set and Be excited because when you lose your first 20 pounds you will feel great, then 50 will come and you will feel fantastic. At 50 pounds I am going to go to the gym and carry around 2 25 pound weights with me and work out with them, walking on the treadmill and see how bad I used to feel. I can't wait should happen next week.

Best of luck,

Jake

You can do it just knock it into smaller chunks of weight and it won't be so over whelming enjoy your journey.

There are lots of folks here in the same situation. Just work on it a little at a time. I have been using the site for 6 weeks and have lost 17 pounds so far. I think the most important things are tracking your food, and I do mean everything, and I also think being involved in the community boards and the support you can get and give there helps too. Set your first goal... make it something not too far... maybe 10 or 20 pounds... then when you reach that set another. You can do this... one step at a time! If you need a friend, feel free to add me.

To the new people you just took a very important step to accomplish your goal. Look around the site there is lots of information and good tips. You can do this. My best advice is to work the diaries. It will be easier than you think if you get serious about it. Wishing everyone the best on your journey here.

Hi, this is my first post here but been using the app for 10 months and lost 52 pounds, i just want to let you know I Still have 100 lbs to go to my goal weight. You are defiantly not alone. How I look at it is in smaller goal weight loss I plan to lose 10 lbs every month that way it doesn't seem so overwhelming as if I planned on losing the 150 lbs I had to start with. good luck and you can add me as a friend if you want.

Welcome and no need to feel embarassed! Everyone starts somewhere and no matter how much you are trying to lose its a challenge! Wishing you great success and check the forums out - there are lots of support groups for those looking to lose 100+ (I'm part of a closed one and they are the reason I haven't quit!)
