Hi, my name's Meg and I'm looking to lose a whopping 175-ish lbs. Can you say daunting?

So far I've only made changes to my diet (i.e., eliminating soda/sweets, eating slightly smaller portions, etc) in an attempt to "ease myself in," but I'm not satisfied with that. So this is me saying "full speed ahead!" It won't be easy as I'm not in control of the grocery at my place (that particular expense is covered by my housemate/sister), so this is where the MFP calorie-tracker will come in.

In addition to that, I'm also going to have to get used to going outside. I am a major recluse (social anxiety + mild agoraphobia) so this is particularly difficult for me, but I think if I schedule it just right I can get at least an hour or two of daily walking into my routine. I also need to come up with a good workout I can do from home.

Whoops, I ended up rambling. Sorry!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting like-minded individuals with similar weight-loss goals so we can encourage and support one another.

Good luck, everyone. Let's do this!

i really need support too. I have 100 pounds to lose but do not want to work that hard the rest of my life. I will be happy if I lose 50. I was never made to be at "ideal" weight

I need to lose close to 200 lbs if I want to be at 150. I've been on and off this site trying to lose weight and it never sticks.. It feels hopeless. In the last few months I've really started putting on the weight, and it's to the point now where doing everyday tasks are becoming too much! I use to be such a happy, outgoing person with lots of energy.. And now I just feel exhausted walking around my house. I'm disgusted with myself.. And yet.. I'm still obsessed with food. Thinking about it.. Craving it.. I can't stop. I'm trying so hard and I've recently given up pop.. That's been a month ish and while I feel slightly better, i still hate where I am. My problem is not binging on food.. I am addicted to eating. I'd love to talk or help in any way I can.. And I could also use some motivation! Thanks.

I'm looking to loose 200 pounds. I started at 390 in January and I'm down 43 pounds so to be able to be under 250 would be awesome but my long term goal would be able to reach 150-175.

Hi Sally! I just signed up on here and i am too wanting to lose a total of atleast 120lbs. I am planning on getting the bypass surgery hopefully sometime this year. I know its a forever thing but I'm way up in weight. 282 right now. But i have to lose on my own first before i have the surgery. Add me if u want and anyone can too.

unknown

Same, I want to loose quite a lot and I need some help doing it!

unknown

Hi Meg! I have 125+ to lose so fee free to add me as a friend

We can all do this!

unknown

its doable. I too was a recluse, so i just put on headphones and walked. I also danced in my living room to dance central. then found other videos, 30ds. then started running at a big 200. a year later I had lost 100 pounds. weigh everything, read everything, log everything. be prepared to have bad days, make a decision to work through the bad ones so you can have good ones. Don't look at the big picture, try and make small, healthy choices over time they start to add up.

unknown

Welcome!! I too have around 175 lbs. to lose.... feel free to add me as a friend, I'm here for support as well!!

unknown

Hi Sunshine. I need to lose 100+ pounds too. I would love to get support and give it. We're all on this journey together, right?

Congrats on making the first move! I have a lot to lose, too, and it can definitely be daunting but only if you let it. Make small goals and reward yourself when you get to them. Some people do every 10 lbs, which works pretty nicely. I started at 289 and am approaching 250, which is my first goal and I am so excited to get there! Even though you're not at your end goal, those milestones count and keep you motivated. Motivation is the key. I used to have a Fibit Flex and swapped to a Garmin Vivofit 2 and they are so, so motivating to keep you moving. Accountability ties in to motivation, as well. If you have challenges you can join or others you can compete with, maybe do a weight loss competition where you pay each week to weigh in and the person who loses the biggest percentage wins. I recently set up monthly appointments with my doctor to help keep me motivated. And remember that every day counts. Think that consciously before you make a bad food decision. And remember that you can still eat what you want! Just think of your calories as your bank account and don't overdraw

Another approach is to use the weekly nutrition section of the app and you can "bank calories" by being under your goal for a week so you can "afford" a special meal or cheat day. If you go over one day, go under another but I try to go under first. That way, I can't go back on my plan! Since I have a lot of weight to lose, too, and have been on here a bit, I just wanted to pass along a few things I wish someone had told me. You can do this!
