New here and need to lose 100 lbs

  • Hi, I'm Mo. I have a 6 month old baby and I was already big before I got pregnant...so now I really want to lose the baby weight and then some! I have about 100 lbs to lose and I really need to be serious, because I want to have energy to run and play with my son.

    Nice to be here!
  • Welcome!
  • Welcome!! I'm needing to drop 100 too! Everyone here is very supportive! You'll do great - & congrats on the baby!!
  • Welcome ! Congratulations on having a baby . I know what its like to be 100 pounds over weight myself ! It can be downright discouraging ! just stick with it and you'll reach your goals eventially remember its a marathon not a sprint !
  • Welcome! The beginning is always the toughest part but if you stick to it you'll do great! Just remember...time is passing whether or not you're sticking to your diet...where do you want to be in 3 months, 6 months or 1 year?
  • Welcome! You have found the best support board on the web!
  • hi everyone,
    i would also like to introduce myself. my name is Diana.
    i just came from having a really horrible experience on another forum, where i asked if i was the only fat one there. i was looking for people who have a good 50+ lb to lose, since it seemed like everyone there was a body builder or skinny women. everyone just bombarded me with so hateful replies...
    i wish it didnt get to me, but it does.
    as a 25 year old woman with over 100 lb to lose.. its hard to keep the motivation and that certainly didnt help.
    so i found this forum and im hoping to build some friendships.
    i started at my highest weight of 304 lb about 2 months ago and im down about 15-20 lb. i have been doing a hybrid program combining p90x and insanity, trying my best to work out 6x a week but its been more like 5x, but im still proud of that. ive changed my eating habits drastically, and i track everything i eat, and i eat clean as much as possible.
    i have such a LONG way to go... and im great at helping people and keeping them motivated and accountable, and im looking for the same in return.
    anybody want to be my weight loss buddy!?!?
  • Welcome, welcome! I have 100+ pounds to go too. 50 lbs down so far. I wish you the best of luck!
  • Wow Lecomtes! You're doing awesome!

    Welcome to you both!! 3FC has been instrumental in my weightloss and I couldn't have done all I have without the amazing women and men on this site.

    There are lots of helpful threads here but it can be a bit overwhelming to start. My favorite ones are in the 100+ group (I think that's what it's called!) and then the decade matching my current weight. The current weight ones are all people near your weight and we cheer each other on, moving down the decades. It's so great and motivating.

    Please post often, we love new members and want to share in your success!
  • Welcome and good luck on your journey!!
