I find myself in this same boat. I am wanting to lose 100+lbs as well. Friend request sent your way.

I am in that boat. Ideally I would like to lose 125, but I would take 100. Want to look at it in increments of 25lbs at a time. Add me if you would like...or anyone else in this thread.

Not sure what kind of motivation I can bring to the table (no pun intended) but Iowa native would love to help if I can. Both racheleads and Ipr13dd you can add me to friend list if you would like. Depending where you live, maybe I know someone close by that could help too.

Good for you Holli! It sounds like we are both in the same boat on making some life changes. But Holli the thing you have on me is a greater future of time. I tell you that to encourage you. I remember when my sons were two years old. I wish that I would have been more serious about my weight when my kids were two years…

Great advice Becca....

I hear ya, I hear ya, I hear ya.... I have struggled with my weight all my life. I am fairly new here myself. I decided to join MFP to get and give support when I realized that I need to stop worrying about dieting and concentrate on getting healthier. I understand the struggles, but I hope you will be encouraged here.…
