To stay on my long term goal - I will lose about 32 more pounds by Christmas day. That is 1.84 pounds per week for 17.57 weeks - something I can do AND something I want to do!

Cathy - A Big Congratulations on joining MFP! That is a good first step you took 11 days ago. What I need to remind myself daily about - and this would be true for you too (I believe) - is that this is a long term weight loss journey. It took me years to pile on the excess weight - so it will at least take months to take…

I had a reminder that I am doing this weight loss deal for myself. While visiting family I haven't seen since I lost 23 pounds - no one noticed at all. As a matter of fact, only 1 person has asked if I have lost weight over the last 4 months. Guess I was really so heavy that 23 pounds didn't matter to my appearance. But…

I have certainly been one of those people on many occassions in the past. This time around, I am simply eating healthy. Eating all three meals (just smaller in volume and better in…

I like the idea of keeping this forum separate from the soon to be created 100 + lbs to lose challenge forum. Over the years, I have certainly accomplished challenges while losing weight (the 100 mile club comes to mind) but what I am really going for this time is simple exercise - burning at least 300 calories each time…

This looks like the place for me! I too got in such bad physical shape that the best plan of action for me going forward was to lose 100 pounds - and then see how I was. This is my long term goal. My short term goals are to lose 20 pounds each quarter (13 weeks for those of you who are not accountants like I am). I am…
