Hello all,

I am returning to mfp with the goal of losing 100 pounds this year. I am tracking my journey on YouTube also on my channel SaraShyding I hope that any of you that are looking for some back up and support to look me up and follow me there! The focus of my videos are a weekly goal, what I am doing with exercise, dietary advice, along with motivation and inspiration.

Here is a link to my first video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V78PNkutVSY

    Congrats. I too am setting out to lose some weight. I am sick of looking at other girls and wishing I looked like them. 2011 was great for my career but 2012 is going to be great for my health, fitness and essentially, I wanna look sexy! So lets all do this together! (Btw I am an Aussie so anyone please hit me up with some friend requests, I think we all need the support and it is nice to know I ain't doing this alone!)

    I too would like to lose 100 lbs this year!! If I can do that I will be feeling so much better. I think if all of us that have responded to your post stick together and support each other we can all hit our goals. It feel so good to see others with the same challenge, All feel free to add me.

    Thanks

    I am sure it will go well.

    Very attainable and slow and steady means a greater chance of keeping it off, by creating a lifestyle change.
    I dont believe losing weight is about dieting, its changing habits.

    I used to be 94kg back in 2009 and both myself and my wife went on a diet plan using shakes etc and removing carbs etc.
    I lost 24kg and my wife about 40kg but at the end of the day it became boring.

    I then added 13kg and then found this site and am now aiming to drop back to about 70kg once more.
    I have always done well by calorie counting and used to use a note pad and calorie book but this place is so much easier and relevant.

    I have lost 3.5kg in about a month and that includes for the blow outs for xmas and new year which we need to have in order to keep on track. I just find as long as i keep to my target calorie intake, all travels well, of course i would like it to happen quickly but lets be realistic, it took me 43 years to get to 94kg so i should expect it to take a few months to drop the smallish number of kg's i want to get rid of.

    All the best

    Hello, I am new to MFP and I too, have the goal of losing 100 pounds this year. I am tired of not having energy, not being happy and watching on the sidelines and not participating in anything. I am ready to get my life back and start living again! I know we can all do this and with the support of each other, got this in the bag. Feel free to add me and I wish all of you the very best of luck!!

    Hi all,

    I'm looking to lose 100lbs this year as well. I've been off-and-on with living a healthier lifestyle since before my teen years. I've never tried the route of a website aid until now, and I'm already feeling positive about it. We all know what we need to do. Let's make it happen. :)

    Well I wasn't intending on losing 100lbs (although I need to - and my aim was much lower) after looking at all the positive comments this thread then what have I got to lose?

    In fact when you break it down to 1.9lbs a week it doesn't seem like such a mountain. Bit more exercise, slightly fewer calories and boom.

    Let the journey begin!

    I am up for the 100lbs lost in 2012. I need to get it done. At around 2lbs a week it is so doable.

    I lost at least 90lbs last year, (not sure of my exact starting weight) and 70lb of that was between May, when I joined MFP, and December, so 100lbs is definitely doable, it is simply 2lbs per week, but I do expect the losses to slow down the closer I get to goal. Good Luck every one :happy: :flowerforyou:
