  • Much love and encouragement your way! :) I am about that weight as well. The idea that I may die an early death scares me. I feel like I can contribute to the world, and I'm not willing to cut down the time I have left. So, I decided to buckle down and lose the pounds.

  • Awesome! I decided it was time for me to buckle down and lose weight, too. Except I'm 22 and currently weigh around 289. Mostly because I kept putting my health aside to work on academics. Weight has been coming off so far, but as with previous endeavors...I will probably hit a plateau soon and will need encouragement to…

  • Hey, there! I, too, know the struggles of food addiction. I'm doing a good job if conquering it so far. I have a lot of weight to lose (currently 289 and need to get to 130), and am hoping the community can keep me motivated. :)

  • Yup! I currently weigh around 294 lbs and need to get down to about 130 lbs. It's going to be tough, but my first couple of days of lifestyle change have gone well. I'm optimistic. :)
    in Any people getting rid of 100+ lbs like me?? Comment by AquaticChickadee March 2015
  • Howdy! Good luck on your journey! I have a long one ahead of me...I need to go from 297 to 130. It'll be rough, but with a good community backing me, I think everything will be alright. Feel free to message me if you need anything -- advice, motivation, or just a buddy to talk to when things feel kinda sucky. :)

  • Welcome! I'm new here, too, so I guess I don't have too much to offer (other than past experiences, I suppose). But, I'll try to help you in any way I can! :D

  • I'll be your buddy! I'm trying to get down to about 130 from 297. I've just started making plans today, so I'm feeling a wee bit clueless. Any buddies/support would be awesome. :)
    in officially commited! anyone need a buddy? Comment by AquaticChickadee March 2015
  • Awesome! It's nice to see someone do well. Keep it up. :smiley: Any particular diet and exercise 'rules' you're following? I consulted a doctor who told me 1300 calories, 60g (or more) protein per day, and less than 30g carbs. And the whole 30 minutes/exercise per day deal.
