    Hey there! I am in the 100 lbs range too! I started at 270, wanting to lose 135 to REACH 135. Well, I am down 71 now since Sept. It CAN be done my friend! :) I still have a ways to go but I am confident I will reach it. Best of luck!

    I think that's great! To add to what backontrac said ... it's mostly about determination if you ask me.

    I'm in med school, so I'm a pretty busy person (as most people are). And, I finally decided to stop lying to myself and forced myself to make time for exercise/dieting. I didn't lose the weight overnight, and no one will. But, determination will keep the weight flowing off if you're consistently determined!

    I lost 25 pounds in 4 months. Over Christmas I gained a few back =). So, now I'm going for 155 (7 more pounds to go).

    Slow and steady! Don't exhaust yourself by trying to do it in a month! You have my support, whatever that may mean to you.

    Thanks all for your welcomes and words of encouragement, its day 2 and it seems that for right now the key to my success will be staying busy so i don't think about it !!

    Welcome:flowerforyou: I have a lot to lose as well. This site is very helpful , I use to diet on my own never learning to correct way to eat. So after the weight loss then I would go back to my old eating habits and gain it back. I love the support I have here on MFP , it would be so much harder without the people on here helping me.
