Just newly signed on and must lose 131lbs.

I feel just right now I am the heaviest person in this forum with 131lbs to lose. It will be a long haul but worth it and I intend enjoying myself along the way. HI everyone.

hi fishandchips! Guess what! I feel the same way...like I have more to lose than anyone else and I bet we're not alone. It's so great that you've started. It only gets better from here!

Welcome !

It's not about how heavy you are but it is about the fact that you are doing something about it. You've taken the first step now.

It can be a long haul but as soon as you start seeing the results, you will realise it is worth it. I'm glad that you are going to enjoy it. I love the challenge and I look forward to my weigh in every Friday.

Best of luck.

Actually, there are quite a few people on here with well over 100, 150 or even 200 pounds to lose.

Welcome to CC!

I don't have as much to lose but I felt the same way before I joined.

Welcome! I'm Lisa, I have about 145 to lose. I started last week, and have already started losing, good luck!

I lost 170 pounds (WITHOUT surgery), and have been maintaining my weight of 124 for 5 months now.

It can be done. It just takes time and patience. There are people on here who know the struggles, withdrawals, and exciting moments this journey holds.

Ah I smile at newcomers ;)

Hell All, I,m new here. I just registered and still trying to figure this site out. I ran across this post and just wanted to say that I too have 100 or more pounds to lose. I actually started making changes on 2-2-08. I have lost 12 pounds and 22.75 inches. I count calories and try to exercise daily ( that part doesn't always work ).  I try to stay between 1200 and 1300 calories. I weigh and measure once a week. I did get extemely sick about a week after I started and didn't do anything healthful during that time. I ate anything quick and easy and then the rest of the time I stayed in bed. My husband is in between jobs at the moment ( due to a massive lay-off this past October ), so he took complete care of the 3 that we have running around ( ages 17, almost 8, and 2 1/2 ). After I got over being sick I got back on track. I am not losing as fast as  I expected to but I've come to the point that that can be a good thing. I'm still working at it day by day . I do know that one day I will get to the weight that I want to be. Just wanted you to know that there are more of us out here with alot to lose. Good luck on your journey.
