    I hate all this weight on me but I have set smaller goals along with my ultimate goal to lose 118lbs to be 140. This is possible if we just continue to take it day by day and meal by meal. If I mess up I just jump back on that wagon. I hope to have the rest of the weight off by march of next year. Good luck to you

    There are alot of people here that have the same, if not more, weight to lose. I'm one of them. I joined the day after my 47th birthday 3 weeks ago and love what I see on this site. The support and tools, the help that people give for whatever is needed or asked is great! I hope you enjoy it!

    You're not alone...

    I have been overweight for all of my life!

    I started out at 276 lbs and a size 22-24
    My goal weight is around 140, so I'm chugging along on the over 100 train with you!

    I know you can do it!:happy:

    I currently weigh 255 lbs and my goal weight is 150 lbs, so you are definately not alone. Just remember that even a 5-10% weight loss can drastically improve your health. In other words, every pound lost is a victory!

    Thanks Kathy for getting us talking...
    I have 50 to lose, and I too have had bad days. It seems overwhelming but then I try to think that if we lose it slowly it may not notice it's gone. Also lifestyle changes take a long time to form.

    You are amazing for having gone through cancer and back surgery. Take it a day at a time (I am trying really hard to remember that one) and the other one I am struggling with is Life is a journey, not a destination.

    Good luck.

    And thank you everyone for sharing. You really made my day, I am not alone. I am glad I can share freely here.

    i have 126 pounds to go... seems monsterous, but one pound at a time is the best way for me to look at it. :) good luck!

    I am currently weighing in at 310 , so you are deffinatley not alone. my goal weight is around the 150 mark so I have 160 lbs to lose. Although we don't want anyone to suffer the pains we do , it is good to see there are others, that you arent the only fat man/woman in the whole world, and we can do it. Good Luck to you all!

    I could lose 100 but feel that if I lost 75-80 it would be acceptable. I went through the cancer thing and so did my friend Dawn. It's hard to snap back from that. Just remember you are a survivor and if you can beat cancer you can beat being over weight. I am right here with you sister!!!

    KathyR - sorry this is the first I've seen this post (I think) - reading your initial entry - I was feeling a bit of deja vu....

    After being diagnosed with breast cancer at 34, having bilateral mastectomy, chemo and all those fun steroids, reconstruction, I was so lazy and got to my biggest ever....239 pounds and size 22 pants (actually needing to buy 24s).....now, after 14 mo here on MFP, I've lost 85 pounds and I feel healthier than ever! Don't give up you can do it!
