More than 100lbs to lose. Anyone else?

I'm looking for other people out there who have a very long weight-loss journey like myself. I need motivation to keep going because I feel like it's a goal so far away that it will never happen. I have a couple of friends trying to lose maybe 40 lbs, but they're not in the same boat as me. If you're on a journey of losing more than 100 pounds, please msg me and let's compare notes and become a support system for each other. I could use the support! Thanks

    I'm in the same boat. I suggest you create small goals. For instance, I'm 256lbs right now. My goal for the time being is only 60lbs. Once I hit that goal, I'll start on another. Feel free to add me as a friend. I think we can totally help motivate each other. :)

    Anyone can add me...I'm trying to lose 180
  • Hi there, I want to lose about 140 pounds. I have a long way to go. I also agree with setting small goals and then getting to them and making new one's. I started out at only 5 pounds and when from there, Now Im at 42 becuase of i started before I found this site. I have great friends and they help so much with this. I can be added if you like. Enjoy the ups and downs we can do this!!

    :flowerforyou: Although it is just as hard to lose 5 Pounds as it is to lose 105 Pounds, you are right, The Journey is NOT the same.
    MFP has a Group of people who have lost 100= Pounds or are in the Process of Losing it.
    :heart: My best advice would be to Log In Every Day, Track All Your Food, and Drink Your Water!!
    Be Consistent and Persistent!! You CAN Do It!!

    Hi! When I started here 6 months ago today, I too had a goal of 100 lbs to lose. I have a little more than 30 to go. Keep focused on your goal and bring your best every single day! You will get there!

    When I began... I had about 175 lbs. to lose. As of today, I have lost about 76 lbs. I agree with the other poster... make small goals first. Maybe not even scale derived goals. My first goal was to lose 25 lbs. in 6 months, then as I went along, it was more like being able to sit in movie theater seats without lifting the arm rest, sitting in stadium seats comfortably. My goal right now is to lose 24 more lbs. by July and hopefully fit into a size 16 (XL) swim suit for the first time in nearly 15 years. That would make me happy. I am happy to see my collar bones again, tilt my chin down and ACTUALLY touch it to my chest (double chin nearly GONE!) Those are some of my small goals... and boy or boy is it SOOO exciting to meet those goals!

    Good luck on your journey!

    100 would put me at 130 which would fall into idea weight for my height. I put 190 as my goal because its too hard for me to face how far I have to go.
    Anyone can friend me. I could use the support!!

    I started off with 120 pounds to lose and have lost 34 pounds to date.
    We can be friends! I need the support as much as you do :)
  • My goal is to lose 145 lbs. I've lost 16.5 lbs in the last 4 weeks, so I'm well on my way. Before I started, I made my goal of 20 lbs by July 7th (which was the original date of my cousin's wedding.) Upon discussing this with my grandpa, who, by the way, has lost 70 lbs after being obese since I've been born (I'm 26), he set another goal for me...50 lbs by December 31st. I am SO determined to do it! If you need encouragement or someone to keep you accountable, I'm here for you!

    xo,

  • I still have a hundred pounds left, I also could use the help, you can add me. =)

    So if your wanting to add a new crazy friend... Hit me with that request. My Log is open for everyone to see. So if you just wanna watch thats ok too.

    I started at 577 lbs Dec 27. Found this site from a great friend... Joined. And now I am down to 465 with my mext weigh in on the 23rd of April.

    I had set my first goal to loose 100 lbs by 4/9/12 My birthday... I have passed that and I am still going.
    I set a monthly weight loss goal of 25 lbs a month to hit my target. I hope to hit it with flying colors. But If I shouldnt... I still have came along way.

    Hugs
