I agree with what everyone else said. Baby steps! I have over 100 pounds to lose and I've only lost 8 so far. I realize it can seem very overwhelming at times. But when you start to see small changes it is encouraging and motivates you to keep going! I used to have trouble keeping up with my toddler but over the last 2…

This is a great thread! I started on MFP 66 days ago and I have 100 pounds to lose too. This thread has been very encouraging. I have been discouraged sometimes that I've "only" lost 8 pounds in 66 days but my MFP friends have been very helpful and they are the reason I haven't given up. Coming to MFP every day has helped…

I've noticed that the more weight I have to lose, the longer it takes anyone to notice. When I was thinner and lost 15 pounds, I got compliments right away! Last year I lost 30 pounds and almost no one noticed, except my very close family members. Unfortunately I gained it back and had to start over again. I would say for…

A couple of days of healthy eating and your body should detox itself. Drinking extra water might help, as well as eating some extra fruits and veggies, and some exercise of course. Those things might speed up the process for you, but it's entirely up to you! :)

I'm 35 years old with one child, an active toddler! I have approx 100 pounds to lose and I've been active on MFP for 50 days now. I'm friendly and I'm here every day. Anyone is welcome to add me, MFP friends are the best!

Wow, you're my hero! Congratulations! :) Thanks for sharing - it is encouraging for those of us who are just getting started. :)

The only thing I can think of, other than what everyone else has already said...are your blood sugar levels normal (you're not hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic) or are you under a lot of stress recently? Periods of very high stress always stops my weight loss even if I'm eating the same amount of calories, not sure exactly…

I'm 35 years old, with a super active toddler, and I'm 50 days active here on MFP. :) Anyone is welcome to add me.

If you are open to a gently used one you can get some good deals on eBay or other sites. I got mine (Fitbit Flex) for $64 including shipping and it's like new. I think a lot of people buy one new with good intentions and then don't really use it. They re-sell it at a nice discount. I just got mine and I figure if I don't…

You look wonderful, thanks for sharing! Your story is inspiring for those of us with 100 plus pounds to lose. :)

This thread is very encouraging to read - it's awesome to see so many of us wanting to work on this together! I would like to lose 100 pounds total, maybe a few more? I'm very active here on MFP, I'm friendly, and anyone is welcome to add me as a friend. My MFP friends have been so encouraging so far and thanks to them I…

A million times YES! I joined this site a couple years ago but didn't stick to anything or lose any weight. This time around I've made friends and I've been working on weight loss for over a month now. When I have a bad day and I post about it I always get the most supportive comments! My MFP friends always seem to know…

I'm not sure if I already replied to this thread or not ha-ha...but I'm very active here on MFP and trying to lose 100 pounds, although I'm just getting started. You are welcome to add me. :)
-
Great job! I have possibly over 100 pounds to lose so your results are very encouraging!
-
I have the same question. I'm thinking about getting a heart rate monitor to get a more accurate idea of the calories I'm burning. Sorry no one answered you, I would have liked to see what everybody said. :)

I've been very active here on MFP for about a month now, and I've lost 8 pounds but would like to lose 100 pounds total! I'm a work at home mom of a toddler, and my exercise right now is taking walks with my daughter almost every day. Friends on MFP have been so helpful to me so far, I am always willing to have active,…

Wow, look at that waist! Way to go, you should be so proud of your accomplishments! I'm just getting started so you are very inspiring. :)
-
You look great and you have every right to be super proud of your accomplishments! I'm just getting started so your example is very encouraging!
-
Congratulations! Your starting weight and weight loss goals are similar to mine, but I'm only one month in, so it's encouraging to see your success and how good you look. :)
-
Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing. :)

Who would have thought my phone is such a dinosaur? ;) Ha ha...

Unfortunately the one I bought does not sync with MFP, or my computer. I suppose I could get a FitBit and just sync it to my computer until I upgrade my phone, whenever that happens. :)

I'm not going to bash WW - I lost 30 pounds on WW back in 2006. Then my life kinda went crazy and I put myself on the back burner and gained it all back plus a bunch more. The accountability of knowing I was going to have to step on that scale in front of everyone each week was a big motivator. However, I noticed that the…

I sent you a friend request. I've been here on MFP for the past 3 weeks so I'm still somewhat new. I have 100 pounds to lose (maybe more after that?) and I've already lost 8 pounds. If you said you don't own a scale, it might be good to get one, so that you can monitor your progress. You don't need to weigh in often, just…

I started here on MFP about a month ago with 100 pounds to lose (maybe more?), I've lost 8 pounds so far. I've noticed that having friends on MFP seems to make all the difference! It's so much better than doing this alone! Make all the friends here you can, they will help you get through the rough parts and you will help…

Welcome to MFP! I'm sure if you make some supportive friends here on MFP, log your food and any exercise you do, and try to eat at a deficit you will see results. Thyroid issues can make weight loss a bit slower than you might like, but it should happen eventually. I've found the support of friends on this site to be…

That's so beautiful I want to cry! :) Just celebrated 10 years with my husband and I hope by 15 years to look as good as you do! Congratulations! And Happy Anniversary...
-
You are such an inspiration and I'm glad we are MFP friends!

So happy for you!! :)

I can relate because I would like to lose over 100 pounds. I've been here 3 weeks and have only lost 5 pounds so far - I was hoping it would come off quicker than that. But I'm enjoying the lifestyle change so if I'm enjoying it, that makes it easier to stick to the long run. Even only 6 pounds a month is 72 pounds in one…
