    Hi, I am 33 and a stay at home mom to three(9,5,1). I was always the fat kid in school. I was pushing 200 when I graduated high school. I got up to 280. I just joined MFP last month and I love it. I set mini goals for myself. My new goal is to weigh 199. My ultimate goal is 150-155. The hardest part is trying to get my family to eat healthy with me. I find myself picking off the kids' plates. i joined Curves with a friend last month and so far so good. This week I added in treadmill walking/running. I know this is a long journey, but it is so worth it.

    I too have over 100 pounds to lose. I set mini goals along my journey, this helps to feel like I can accomplish it. If I looked at the big picture it would be so far out of my reach I wouldn't have the drive to do it. I hope this can help you. Anyone needing friends can feel free to add me as well.

    I'm a stay at home mom of 2, and I started out at 289. This morning I weighed 267, so slowly yet surely! I want to get to 200lbs, and even lower. I've always been a big gal, but after being hospitalized in '05 from blood clots in my lungs, I gained a lot of weight because I couldn't be as active due to lung damage. I'm working through that now!

    oh my goodnesss, so many of us. and it is nice to have an "us" to belong to. you are all so strong.
    my story, well i was dx as bipolar when i was 17 they put me on medication that slowed my metabolism. drastically and made me hungry all the time. it was terrible, as i aged i just slowly but surely put on weight. pound by excruciating pound any efforts to waylay the weight were met by little or no sucess. or immediate regain and then some. starvation just didtn work for me. i need a lifestyle change. i am 34 now and my partner is so worried about me. i am 309 pounds. it is just too much. i am hearbroken that i am worrying my loved ones so much. i just signed on for a program with a doctor in my city. it is a doctor, dietician, personal trainer and psycotherapy all in one program. i realize that to lose this weight i am goign to need all the support i can get. it was in my first interview with thedoctor that he recommended this app for my phone. i was using another app. i start the program on tuesday. i am hoping to show the dietician just what i have been eating. it is hard not to scale back and be "good" cause i know it will be reviewed. but i am trying to show her my real eating habits.
    oh i do go on.
    good luck to all of you.
    and good luck to me too.
    anyone who wants to friend me i will gladly accept support.

    cheers.
    Chris
