Where to begin?

I need help!!

Has anyone here lost a significant amount of weight (I'm talking 100 pounds or more)? How did you get yourself started? What food plan did you use? Do you have one gold nugget of advice?

If you don't want to discuss it here, please pm me. I need some help, and any advice will be greatly appreciated!

I don't have personal advice on how to lose more than 100 lbs but I lost 70 lbs once.My dad did lose about 125 lbs a little over a year ago and still has more to go.He used WW with great success.One thing I know is that you need to break the goals down and not look at the big picture.Start with losing 5 lbs.Good Luck!!

I have done Weight watchers many times, and know people who have lost over 100 pounds. I've lost 32 this time, and have about 40 to go.
Also, know that you are human, and you will have days that you go off program, and indulge, but don't beat yourself up. Just get back on track, and you will be ok.
I agree with Dismom and breaking it down into small goals- like 10 pounds at a time. I like to get into the next decade, and then work real hard not to go back up.
Support also helps so much. There are so many inspirational and helpful people on this board that can help motivate you. I like the weight loss challenges that keep me accountable to others.
Good luck. You can do it!!!!
