I am looking for other folks who need to lose well over 100 pounds (or has lost over 100)...I used to think there wasn't a difference in how much you needed to lose, but once you get this big there are things that you just don't deal with at lower weights (even going to the bathroom is a nightmare) and health issues are major.
If there is anyone else out there please reply or msg me or email me or anything...I need help - Please

Hi wildkat and welcome, congrats on trying to change your life for the better. I am not sure if I can help you but if I can, I gladly will. Although I didn't need to loose 200, I did need to loose quite a bit. My heaviest was 365 and my goal (so far) is 220 so that puts me at a 140 pound weight loss goal, so far I have lost just over 100 pounds. I am not on any particular plan, I have just started eating much healthier and getting ,more exercise. Let me know if I can help.

Good luck, you can do this.

ive lost 100 and i have probably 60-80 or so to go i suppose. There are a few of us 'bigger than big' people about

Hi there!!

I'll be losing about 200 when I'm all done. My current goal weight is at 175 then I figured I'd see where I need to go from there. Currently I've lost 125 since April... it's really hard but you know you can do it!

Here is the difference so far, this photo was taken yesterday and those pants were tight when I started

I should do that with my old pants. I kept them - but ive had to move them to the bottom drawer that i dont use because they are just to baggy to be of any use

You should get them out and see the difference, really just blew me away! I only kept this pair and I'm so glad I did.... can you imagine what they will look like when I reach goal? haha!

you're gonna do great Dea... welcome to the board

you're gonna do great Dea... welcome to the board

Fenster, I'd love to learn more about what kind of lifestyle you adopted. Your weightloss has been very successful thus far and I love hearing people's stories. Plus, I love the fact that you didn't use the word diet and you started eating healthy and exercises. What types of foods do you eat and what's your favorite exercise? Also - do you like Gov't Mule?

Anyway - I'd love to say to everyone that it's not going to be an easy journey but with the help of a friend I've determined that I'm gonna quit saying next year I'll lose weight, etc. This is my second year at it and I've decided this will be my final! Meaning, I'm gonna lose the weight and be done with it. In 2008, I'll just be living my healthy, fit, sexy life and loving it! :-)

I totally agree with you, Dea! We're gonna do it!

jmnewsome, rather than cluttering up or high jacking this thread I chose to answer you in my diary thread, hope you don’t mind. Here is the link.
