I have 200 lbs to lose and need motivation as well, I am doing youtube zumba workouts, i definitely need to step it up as well. Feel free to add me on here, I doing keep my diary open and hope you do the same, as it helps me get ideas of what to eat.

Thanks for the advice everyone!!! You have all pretty much said the same things, I need to just focus on my calories for now, so I will do that and see how it goes :)

MFP suggested I eat 2400 calories , I was not losing anything eating that much, my doctor told me 1800 was a good number , so I am trying it out I have done this so many times before it should be easy , but it seems so much harder this time

Makes total sense thank you so much My legs and back hurt if I stand for more than a couple minutes so I do not excercise much at all, I have put Myself at 1800 calories right now to see how I do for a couple of weeks I know I need to start exercising and just deal with the pain

Hi I just came across this group, I have been morbidly obese my entire life, I have lost weights many many times, The most I have ever lost is 100 lbs then I just start gaining again . I got married 2 1/2 years ago and got really comfortable and now I am the biggest I have been, I don't even know how much I weight because…

I just started back clean eating yesterday , i am embarrassed to say since being off track , I have gained significantly , I tried to way and my scale read err, so I am just going to focus on eating right for now My body is in so much pain, I can't stand long , so no working out for now, just going to see what I can lose…

Hi everyone, my name is Stacy, I am 36 years old, from South Atlanta in georgia, I have 200 lbs to lose, maybe 220, we will see when I get there, I am getting a grasp on my food pretty well, the working out is my problem, I have no one here to physically motivate me, wish I did, i could really use a work out partner,…

Anyone near Stockbridge, Ga want to be a workout partner, I have a ton of weight to lose, and it is hard to motivate myself to workout, I need someone to push, send me a message if interested

the video brought tears to my eyes, I think I am a female version of you, been overweight my whole, was bullied, never had many friends, never had boyfriends until my adult life, my son died in 2010 of SIDS and instead of wanting to live, i wanted to die, in 2009 i lost 100lbs to conceive my son, after he died, I gained…

thank you for the feedback, i struggle with sodium a lot, something i definitely have to work on, I am trying to eat a lot less processed foods, thank you so much!

i am going to add you, we can support each other, thank you so much!!

I am in the same boat, I am 36, and weight 441 lbs, I feel ashamed to to out in public, I am 36 and feel like I am on my death bed, I am tearing up as I read this, please add me and we can help each other!!

feel free to add me, I have over 200lbs to lose, so i need all the encouragement I can get, anyone that adds me please have your diary so I can see it, that is how I get help :)

i am looking for the same thing and could really use help. so if anyone would like to add me . . please feel free to do so . i just ask that you keep your diary open cause that's how we help each other ..:)

the staff at the gym and I also read that you should eat half of your body weight in protein

I need to check your diary, but you may not being eating enough protein, you need protein after workouts, and complex carbs before..thats what my trainer told me.. and if you weigh right after a workout, then you have water weight and also muscle weighs more than fat, so you can be losing inches, which is what i am dealing…

any one that shows their diary and logs everyday and is a good motivator is free to add me, i log everyday, whether i go over or not, i always hold myself accountable

I believe thats true for obese people, because i have done that, i used to eat taco bell and pizza constantly and would drop major weight, but I wasn't getting healthy, so i dont think its a smart thing to do, i do believe its smart to have a cheat day, if you crave something, eat it, just don't go crazy with it

i am 5'10, and weigh 370, i had myself on 1800 calories but wasn't losing, i talked to the training team at my gym, they said to bump it up to 2070, which is what MFP, but to eat the extra 200 calories in protein and complex carbs

you are already on my friends list :) and you are doing great!

everyone is right, we need to look at your diary and see what ur eating, you should eat 30-50 g of fiber a diary and eat lots of protein and drinks lots of water

I emailed a former contestant from the biggest loser the other day asking this same question, and she told me to leave them alone, if you should get hungry just fill up on veggies and eat protein with every meal that helps keep you full MFP says I should eat 2200 calories but I only allow myself 1800 and I stay full just…

thanks everyone for your awesome words of inspiration and friend requests and messages, it means a lot, now i cant wait to get to the gym! i cant make any more friend requests according to MFP , so keep your requests coming and lets do this together!! :)
