    I started out October 2010 trying to lose 100, have lost about 60 lbs so far.

    Recently started using MFP to log food (signed up a while ago, but was using livestrong, but like this better 'cause it syncs with my fitbit.)

    There are lots of us here - you are NOT alone!!

    Hello! You are absolutely not alone. I need to lose 150 lbs. and I'm on my way to seeing 25 lbs. gone as of this week. I will weigh in for the first time in two weeks this coming Friday. As of the last weigh in I had lost 19 lbs. (avg. about 3 per week). I am working out for the first time in my life. I will be 60 yrs. old this July and refuse to spend the rest of my life blaming everything I can't do on my weight and my aching knees. I love aquatic exercise now and go 4 nights a week. Tonight I did aquatics and another 1.35 miles on the treadmill...I could have done more.I am going to sign up for a walk soon. I would not have believed I could do that or would want to. Hang in there, everybody and reach out to the rest of us as you have done here. I'm working right along with you!

    My goal is to eventually lose 100 pounds but What I'm making small goals for myself as I go along. I'm going to do it in 10 pound increments. I'd like to lose 10 pounds by April 30. Then 10 more pounds by June 30... so on and so on... so basically I would like to lose 10 pounds every 2 months. I just joined a gym a week ago and I LOVE IT... never thought I would say that. I've been trying to start off slow so each day I've done 2 miles on the treadmill and 3 miles on the bike, and also I've used an elliptical for 5-10 minutes. But I'm going to slowly increase the amount I do each week. Anyway best of luck to you! Hope to keep in touch!!! :smile:

    I had more than 100 lbs to lose, but I've now lost 30! so I only have 88 more pounds to lose now. I also make little goals for myself rather then obsessing over the big one. My first goal was to get out of the morbidly obese range. Then to get to pre-baby weight. My next goal is 13 pounds away, the weight I was when I got married. So on and so forth. For me, making the goals like this, rather than making my goals set amount(like 10 lbs at a time) makes it more exciting for me when I reach them because they are more personal.

    I'm here too. According to BMI, I should lose about 150, but I am thinking 125 would be just fine. Good luck and stay with it. Takes time and effort, but it is SO worth it. Feel free to add me.
