    I have over 100lbs to lose too so you are not alone, like you I am fed up with being "the big girl". I love this site and have the app on my phone, The difference with me this time is that I am logging everything I eat - even if I go well over my calorie goal for the day,(we all have days like that sometimes). For some reason this keeps me logging in and starting the next day afresh, I've lost 20lbs in the past 5 weeks and it's all going great so far. I am a bit of a crisp (potato chip) addict but have discovered the ones which are lower in calories and won't cause such a problem if I do overindulge. Motly I am doing fine though .....and so will you. Go for it.

    I too am hoping to lose 100+. I have yet to set a final weight goal.. will probably be doing that with a trainer this upcomming week, but I thought I'd approach my weight loss goals 10% at a time. Ive read all the wonderful health benefits to losing just 10%, and it doesnt seem to have such an intimidating number to stretch for. So, at the time being, I want to lose 35 lbs.. when i reach that goal, I'll want to lose 31... so on and so forth. I dont want to be skinny, i want to be healthy. I dont want to look good in a bikini, I want to look good in clothes. I dont want to be able to shop in the misses department, I want to be able to shop in normal clothing stores. Im hoping that my small and realistic goals will keep me going longer than my past attempts at shedding my extra fluff.

    I dispatch for a living, which requires my bottom to be in a chair 8+ hours a day. Many of my department are over weight, and being smack dab in the middle of a 9 month winter, we decided to have a Biggest Loser competition. Winner was the person who lost the biggest percentage of fat. I should have joined, but I didnt ( for fear of losing ) I did though, unoficially join, offering my support and knowlegde. Today, they recognized me as the person making the most changes, and the biggest inspiration in the group. THAT was a huge boost and makes me want to keep going.

    I dont know what is different in my this time that is keeping me going. It's like a lightswitch in my head was just flipped on. Before i was weak and would cheat all the time. Or binge one day and then call it all off out of feeling guilty. ( You cant cheat unless you have committed ) Yes, I have a little desire to sneak a bite of my daughters weekly treat ( danishes are her favorite ) but something in me took over and for the first time in my 32 years of existance I could honestly tell myself that the one bite was not worth the calories, and I dont want that junk cluttering up my food log.

    I would love any and all friend invites, I do lots of research for inspiration and information, and love more than anything to spread that to others. I belive that as a group, this is completely do able! Im going on the adventure of my lifetime, would like to travel with others!
