I'm in the same position, I have roughly 100 to lose and know how hard it is. Always nice to have friends in the same position.

I have lost about 2 and a half stone so far but am looking to lose about another 8! I have found the support on MFP fantastic, I've never tried losing weight without going to a diet club before but am finding that this is working for me better than any of those ever did!

I completely agree! I would never want to be skinny but I do want to be healthy and generally smaller

Well done!! I am so impressed. I am currently around where you started and find it so inspirational to see how well you've done!

Well done for making the first move and signing up! I also have over 100lbs to lose so feel free to add me.

My goal is to lose around 120lbs, so far I have lost 33 and that has mainly been down to the support from my MFP friends. Well done for making a start, please feel free to add me, I log in daily and am very committed!

Hi, well done for making the first step and joining up! It sounds like you've made a great start on your own and I would love to offer you any support I can along the way. We weigh a very similar amount so I guess that's as good a thing in common as any!! Jodie

Been there, done that! I wouldn't starve yourself to make up for it as you'll just make yourself feel worse. The best thing to do is to move on and just get back to normal healthy eating. Good luck!

Hi, I have about the same to lose. Feel free to add me.

Hi, I'm in Manchester. Always looking for new friends!

I don't normally gain but tend not to lose either, I think with me it's water retention as it seems to come off more the following week

Good for you for taking the first step! I have found that the support on this site has been amazing and I don't think I would have got as far as I have without it. If you want to add me please feel free, the more the merrier!

I also have over 100 to lose, this site has really helped to keep me focused and I hope it can do the same for you.

Hi, it sounds like we have a very similar goal and are probably at about the same stage. Please feel free to add me

I also have roughly 140lbs to lose and was diagnosed with PCOS about 7 years ago. Currently not on any medication as the doctors here in the UK seem very reluctant to prescribe! The support I have received on MFP has been amazing and I would love to add a few more friends who are in the same position.

That is so inspiring!!

Hi, There are loads of UK users on here. There is also a UK group you can join.

I love to bake so I now take anything that I make into work with me and let everyone else eat it, needless to say I am becoming very popular!!

Hi, I've suffered with depression for over 10 years and have never got very far with any of the diets I have tried in the past as the whole process really got me down. However, this past few months I have been focusing purely on eating well and getting more exercise in order to improve my health. Obviously this has the…

That's fantastic! Keep up the good work

Hi, I am in a very similar position. I started at 319 and am now at 291. I also have pretty bad asthma and sleep apnoea. This is going to be a long road and I think we need all the support we can get. Please feel free to add me.

Hi, I was seriously considering surgery but decided to give it one last shot on my own. Thanks to the support and focus MFP has given me I have now lost 25lbs in 9 weeks. Feel free to add me

I work in Customer Services for Kelloggs so there is always food around the office and I sit at my desk all day. I used to work in retail and would love to know how many steps I used to rack up!

Thanks for the feedback everyone, think I'm going to take the plunge and get one. I'll let you know what I think!
