    I have 80 lbs to lose and, like you, I'm worried about how my skin will adjust as I lose the weight. But, my BMI right now is just not healthy, so the weight has to go. I've been using MFP for just about a week now and it's been fantastic. I find it very motivating just to check in everyday, so making some friends here would be great! I love to cook, so I've been keeping an eye on how to make my favorite meals without unnecessary calories. It's actually been fun because eating better means, for me, eating at home So, I've MADE the time to cook whereas I've felt for years that I only occasionally had time. Now I realize that it HAS to happen and it's just not an option for me anymore to keep eating "whatever is available" for the convenience. It turns out that there are many ways to make eating healthy convenient, too. So, I'm excited to lose the weight. I hope I keep feeling that way!

    I started my journey about a year ago at 230.4lbs. my ideal weight was said to be at about 148.8lbs. I obviously felt very disgusted, and started to eat healthier, I made it down to 189lbs, and then something went wrong, I was like "Yeah, I lost 41.4lbs, I can slack a bit, and it wont hurt, I'm already down a few pant sizes, what would one cookie hurt." Major fail on my part, I'm back to 214lbs at recent, and really wanting to kick it in gear. I literally joined MFP less than an hour ago, and hoping to find others in the same boat as I am to help with keeping on track :) It looks like I have at least 60lbs to lose.

    Hi,
    I am 46 yr old female and weigh 267 lbs and need to lose about a 100 lbs and would also need a long term buddy to keep me motivated. Was born with knee problems and have a hard time exercising because of all the pain in my knees. Also have arthritis in my knees and need knee replacement but the specialist wants to wait as long as possible because of my age. Also dealing with thyroid disease and I am very frustrated. Losing 100 lbs seems so overwhelming. Help....

    Hello to all those who have replied since I last posted. Glad to see so many people here that are either starting or are well on their way back. Seems like a lot of us have a few things in common. I'm looking forward to overcoming this weight loss with you guys. Again, if I haven't added you and you'd like to be a friend, feel free to send me a request. I think being supportive of others and having their support as well has been a great motivation for me so far.

    I'd love to lose 50 - 60 lbs, but right now my goal is 30 by September 1st. I'm watching what I'm eating, going to the gym 4-5 days a week mixing in cardio and weight training. I did get a bit frustrated because my scale at home says I'm only down 1 lb since April 1st yet the scale at the gym says 5 lbs. I have to learn that the scale IS NOT my friend and it's just a number, it's about how you feel and how my clothes fit. I think I have lost a few inches but I'm only taking my measurements once a month so I don't know for sure.

    Everyone's stories are very encouraging to read so thank you! Here's to success for each of us!

    My goal is to lose 65lbs. Currently I'm at about 240. I started running about 3 weeks ago. I haven't lost from running alone but I am able to run longer now. I started the 30day shred 2 days ago. I'm going to alternate between running and doing the dvd.

    Good luck!!
