Is there anyone out there that has over 100 lbs to loose?? Or have lost?

Hi,

I'm just wondering.  Because I have about 105 lbs to reach my goal weight, and I have only really been seeing people who have about 20 lbs to loose.  Just wondering, if i'm like the fattest on here lol.  Thanks.

Hi gypy04,

I have about 113 pounds to lose to reach goal weight. There is a lady who is super motivating on here named obsydian who has just passed the 100 pounds lost mark. I will friend you if that's okay and maybe we could help keep each other motivated to reach our goals together!

My starting weight is 250 and I have been slacking lately and I think I am back up close to that, but I am afraid to try it at least until TTOTM is over (That time of the month) That's next week.

EDIT: I just read your profile. I am the same way with people can't believe I'm over 200 pounds! I have 180 on my DL and most people think that's correct. It's weird. I am only 5'3".

I haven't been around too long, but I've seen alot of threads for folks who have over 100 to lose...  For what it's worth I have over 60 to lose!

If you go back in the threads a few days, you'll find them... :)

Obs started a 100 pounds to lose club.  I think it's on the Motivation board.  You might have to scroll through some of the posts because the Survivor challenge thing started taking up a lot of space.  I don't have that much to lose, but I think they have some kind of club thing going. 

Sure that would be great! 

Thanks.. I'll look.

I started at 248 lbs too.

I don't have quite 100 pounds to lose, but I weigh 203 pounds, and I want to get to 124 pounds, and hey, I am terrible at math.

We can do it!!!

I don't need to lose it anymore, because I've lost over 100 pounds.
It can be done, if this is what you really want , you can.
It will be hard, but worth it.
I wish you well on your weight loss journey.

I have 150 lbs. to loose to get to my goal weight and haven't currently lost around 30 lbs.  I you want a new buddy I am up for a new buddy myself the more the merrier.  It has been a struggle but working at it and won't give up till I am happier with the way I am.

I had 113 to lose, now I am down to 95 to go. It is going to take time and effort, but will so be worth it. I see you added me as a friend, I will add you too! :)

Hi gypy04,

I had over 100 to lose!  When I started several months ago at 284 pounds, I wanted to lose 134 pounds.  So far, I've dropped 56, which leaves me 78 to go to my goal. 

Welcome to CC!  Be sure to look through the forum archives (and new posts) for anything for the "100 Club".  Anyone can join, and the group is really motivating!! :D

I had 100 to lose, I still have 70 to left to go.  I just keep working at it.  I just have to keep reminding myself that the weight didn't get there overnight, its not going to go away overnight.  It really helps that my family is so supportive and this site is the best thing I've found.  I know that I'm not alone.  My kids were all blessed with their dads height and ability to eat anything and never gain an ounce!  Thank God they didn't get my short legs and fat cells!

Hey gypy, there's a whole 100-to-lose club. Feel free to join us there :D We post, once in a while, about.. whatever's on our minds.

Welcome to C-c! :D

I had a 100 plus to lose, I'm down around 33 now so I've made progress.  But you're definitely not the only one!

Hi Gypsy,

   I'm fairly new to this site and have 110 lbs to lose, so you are definitely not alone.  I've just started a new job and am having some problems getting into the swing of this.  My main problem (as many have said) is that I am not eating enough calories.....

Best of luck!!!

I too am starting at 248..and have 100 plus to lose- scarry- I thought I was HUGE at 180...then I thought I was DISGUSTINGLY HUGE at 210- I NEVER thought my scale would read the numbers it does- and when I look in the mirror I do not see it- I just don't---BUT when the video camera comes out- and I am watching my child's birthday- or sporting event and I catch a glimpse of that HUGE woman- I am mortified- how could that be me!  Does anyone else out there understand that feeling- I always hear and read about the reverse, like anorexia- where people see themselves larger than they are- but is there a reverse- where you can't see yourself as large as you are????????  and how can you fix the image issue- .......I'll check out that 100 plus group as well- you all are so wonderful- glad I found this site, it is helping- little by little.

Thank you everyone for replying.

So far I have lost 18 lbs and I started the 1st of August.  I know its' not going to be like that forever, I've already started to regulate, but it was so nice to see the scale go down down down.... I know when you are so heavy that you loose weight really fast in the beginning, but I haven't had one bad day yet, I have finally decided to change my life... I just can't take it anymore... And, the funny thing is, I work at a bagel store and we have lots and lots of muffins cookies, chips... Bagels.... lol and I don't give in.  I think I'm doing pretty good.  Like I said, my main thing was eating fast food all the time, and I haven't even had that!! It's so great to feel accomplished in something. 

You are all inspirational, and I am so glad that I found this site. 

I'll eventually post some pics of myself, just have to take some...

Oh Gypsy....little grasshopper, if only I had a 100lbs to lose...I have to lose 155lbs....I'm currently at 315, I started at 327, and I'm trying to get to 160.  Just take it one day and one pound at a time, I look at mini goals in five pound increments.   And when you feel like throwing in the towel don't.  Remember a small step forward is better than not moving anywhere or gaining.  And most of all just keep going!!! You can do it!

Hey Gypsy,

Believe me you aren't the fattest. I have over a hundred to lose so you are not alone.

Gypsy I am at 247Lbs. Right now unfortunately.

I still got ya beat (well maybe beat isn't the right word -cause I don't really think it's a good thing), I'm 363 lbs(at 5'6") as of today(YAY!). I started the year at 405 and I've yet to meet anyone who had, or has as much to lose. Maybe I should say gain instead of lose , because I have more to gain then lose, when I lose the weight:)

I started at 293 and am currently at 231. My first goal is to  make it to 150 by my son's 14 birthday which is June 20 2007. That is also the  summer of my 20th class reunion.

So far 62 pounds lost about 80 or so to go. (to lazy to do the math). that means I'm only 20 pounds from the half way mark.

 My goal for September is to be in the low 220's,  To be below 200 by December or there abouts.
