I've finally decided to get on top of my weight after letting it take the reins for the last two years. When I topped out at 250 lbs, I knew I had to do something. I've got about 90 pounds to lose.

I joined myfitnesspal because I can't do this on my own. I think the calorie counter and forums will be a big help!

Anyone else have over 75 lbs to lose?

    It's great to know that there are others out there in the same boat as me!

    After looking at today's calorie consumption, I'm feeling pretty motivated to eat better. No more random cookies or Mini-Eggs! (Curse those leftover Easter candies...)

    Welcome, Welcome! Many of us have similar amounts of weight to lose. I am on my way to losing 80 lbs. Keep logging your food (even the naughty stuff) it really helps alot to hold yourself accountable.

    I have a LOOOOOONNNNNGGGG way to go. Surprisingly I will be excited when I hit the 250 mark. I want to loose about 115 to 120 for my first major step, and once I get down that far I will see about loosing more. I havent been under the 200 mark in over 10 years and would love to have that feeling again, then after that I would love to know what it is like to be thin, I have always been heavy.

    Welcome and remember just take it one day at a time and before you know it a year will go by and you will look super!

    I have 50 to lose. It seems like a daunting journey but I'm glad to start today and not tomorrow that leads to months. I'm sick being in a body that deserves more and I've been too lazy to give it what it needs.. slow and steady finishes the race is my hope.

    Good luck! This forum is a great start!
