Anybody feel free to add me. Always looking for motivation. I started out at 320 pounds, and currently sit at 280. I lost 25 pounds before I ever started tracking with "dieting." I got sick of not being able to eat what I wanted so I sort of gave up. Now I'm eating what I want and just tracking and weighing everything. My goal is 195. I will make it.

Add me too!!

I'm 58 years old, 5'3" and 240 lbs. My goal is to get down to 138-140. I too could really use a motivational cheering squad. Please add me to your MFP list.

Just want to add some words of encouragement. I am not sure if I would of classified myself as a food addict but I was/am an emotional eater who would frequently binge on gross amounts of food. I started on MFP 335 days ago after having lost a little weight on my own through increased activity at work. It was enough to get me started or at least thinking about getting my life back. I did not own a scale as I had refused to step on one through most my adult life unless standing in the Dr.s office. My first weigh in was in Walmart about 2-3 weeks into this journey on MFP and came in at 306 pounds. By estimates at my heaviest I was probably 250 pounds at my heaviest. I continued to go to Walmart for the next few weeks to step on the scales and when I saw I was actually making progress I bought a scale for home.
Last week I weighed in at 175 pounds 14.7% body fat and I have 5 pounds to go to my revised goal weight. I will probably revise my goal weight again over the next week or two based on body fat composition. My goal is about 10%.

A things I have learned over the past 10 months

1) MFP is a great resource but find what works for you. Everyone is different and battles different demons. What worked for me may not work for others.
2) Make it sustainable. This is a lifestyle you need to maintain the rest of your life.
3) Inspiration comes from others, Motivation comes from within.
4) Nothing motivates more than success

I found certain motivational quotes helped me. One that has kept me going
"Success is not a result of spontaneous combustion, You must set yourself of fire"

Good luck, be strong and make it sustainable

That should read 350 pounds at my heaviest. Was early and still trying to wake up when I typed all that up

What great words of encouragement. The things you have learned are things I will aspire to.
