    I don't need to lose 100 more, but I have to lose 117 in total. Can I help with anything? I'm here to do it with you and support you along the way.

    Have lost about 88. Have about 31 more to go... Goal is a bit above my "Ideal weight" but I don't put much stock in the BMI -- more stock in the body fat percentage

    I do, and I just started today. I'm looking at the first day and it wasn't so good. I went 500 over. I logged though and I see what I need to cut back and how to do that. I'm right back on it tomorrow. Babysteps.

    Don't let that number freak you out and discourage you. The Bottom line is it doesn't matter if it's 35, 85 or 105. It still required the same decisons, work, heart and soul to see success. You can do this! I can do this!

    I started my journey a couple months ago with 150lbs to lose. I'm just under 100lbs to go. It's been a great 2 months, I'm very satisfied with my current weight loss. I never go to bed hungry, and I don't starve myself during the day! I believe that in order for you to be successful you need 3 things. 1. You have to want to lose the weight and 2. You need a strong support network to help you on your journey and 3. You have to have a plan, a life-long plan for eating healthy and sustaining your weight loss. I believe that MFP is an excellent site to establish the latter 2. I'm right there with you, we can do it!

    You should join the group for those who need to lose more than 100. I'm in it too!

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/669619-need-to-lose-100-lbs-or-more-lets-start-a-group

    I've just started my journey, but I'll tell you some things I've learned:
    1) Break up your weight loss into smaller, nutrition/exercise oriented goals. For example, my first week of my journey, I added eating a nutritious breakfast. The next week, I added a snack and cut back on my dinner. The next week, I added lunch and started eating my meals on smaller plates. And so on and so forth. As far as exercise, I started out taking small walks every day for a week, then the next week increased my speed, the next my distance, etc. I'm now walking 3 miles every night. I started out walking 1/3 of a mile.
    2) DRINK WATER. Don't try to meet your daily goal right away, instead adding a glass a day, every day for a week. The next week, add another, and another the next week, etc.
    3) Don't deprive yourself. Allow yourself one small treat at least every other day. For example, I have a cookie every other day, or I may have butter on my baked potato.
    4) Don't think of this as a diet. You are not on a diet. You are on a journey to change your lifestyle, and this is a permanent change.
    5) Don't be afraid to ask for help. Add people as friends on here, view their food diaries, look at their before and after pictures.

    Please feel free to add me. I'd love to help keep you motivated and be motivated by you in turn. :)

    I can't say it any better than this! I've been working on my health since February of 2011, and and slowly getting to where I want to be. It takes time, but time passes anyway, so we might as well be doing what we need to be healthier and happier!

    I have a little under 100 left to lose... its been a lifetime battle, but change is the only way to make it happen!! I have learned that in order to get something different than what I have, I need to do something different. So, I walk, run, work out, try new things... eat cleaner (not 100%, but working towards it). I also focus on small goals - it makes things easier. Sometimes, its a clothing size, others its a BMI number. Not always a number on the scale, but when I meet thosse goals, I celebrate. I bought myself 2 pairs of good running sneakers when I hit my 100lb weight loss - they were expensive, and I decided I was going to run - I wouldnt waste money on something I wasnt going to use, so now, I run (jog, really) and it makes me feel good.

    Keep going - you CAN do it...

    I started with the goal of losing 100 and I'm at the halfway point now!!

    After looking at different sizes of ppl in the 250 range, which is where I'll be once I lose the 100, I realized I may have a bigger goal for myself. I'm thinking another 100 from where I am now would feel great!!

    Yep, I do! My initial weight loss goal is to lose 130 pounds, but I still will need to lose a lot more weight from there to get to my Ideal Body Weight (which is not my goal). However, right now I'm focusing on lifestyle/thinking changes and losing "slow but steady." If you want to friend me, please do. Support along this journey is the key to success!.

    I dont need to loose that much, just another 7lbs, but have lost 2stones (28lbs overall) put on 14lbs when I stopped smoking. Was going to the gym 5 days a week and working out for 2 hours a day, but found I was just building up muscle and not loosing the weight, so now I still go to the gym but only 3 days a week and I am using Power Plates (Vibration plates). Started laast week and so far I have lost 4lbs! Yipee!!!

    Not anymore, but I have lost 102 pounds so far. I have 55 more to get to my personal goal. My advice would be to break it down into smaller goals instead of looking at the big picture. It takes a lot of work and dedication, but is so worth it. I feel so much better now. I am happier and healthier all around. Good luck!
