Good morning all,
Sorry, I’m 3 days over due for posting, but we have dealing with snow and ice
. I’ve gained 3.2 pounds since my last weight-in, but I have promised myself that I would not get crazy about it. I know, I’m building muscle and it weights more than fat or so I’m going to keep telling myself that.
Height - 5’9’’
Starting Weight – 235.4 (1/1/14)
Current Weight – 230 (2/14/14)
Goal Weight Range 169 -136 (1/1/15)

To avoid creating a new thread of the same topic, I'm going to resurrect this one. 
I have used Fitday.com off and on for several years and never really stuck with it. I'm determined to stick with it this time. I also have 100+ lbs to lose and am taking it a little bit at a time. Not doing anything specific, just trying to watch my caloric intake and do some form of exercise at least 5-6 times a week.
Anyone else have 100+ lbs to lose?

Hi, Christy. I have more than 100 to lose too. I have got off track a couple times, but I'm here again ready to continue to lose. I don't do anything drastic either. I just count my calories. I had been exercising but I put my back out pretty severely and I've got a fear of re-injuring it so I haven't been doing it for a while.

I've got much more that 100 pounds to lose! When I start, I weighed 358. At only 5 ft 2 inches, I was a real 'butterball'! That was back in May of this year. In June I started cutting back on my food. As of the first of August, I got serious after my MD told me that what and how I was eating was working against the meds I take for asthma. By following his guidelines, I am down to 316 pounds as of a week ago! I'm thrilled--I feel much better--mobility is still an issue with arthritis but I feel stronger every day. My goal is to get to 170--I know that's still above what would be considered 'normal' but it's much less that where I started! Vicki

Hi Rosabella! I too have more than 100 lbs to lose. I began September 2nd to lose weight and lower my blood sugar and A1c. So far I have lost 26 lbs and my A1c has dropped from 7.7 to 6.7. My hope is to reach 180 lbs in a year, right now I am 314 and 5'8! I am also trying to improve my Cholesterol to avoid taking statin medications. I go back at Christmas to see if my low carb (40g), 1575 Calorie diet will produce the results I am trying to achieve. Power to succeed to us all.
