I've started eating healthier foods and logging everything to stay within my daily calorie goal. I'm also making sure to get in some level of activity daily. Focusing mainly on cardio and weight training.2 -

I have 30 -35 lbs to loose. I have used mfp in the past with great success. However since my last child (one year ago) I have been struggling to loose the weight. my biggest problem is motivation. I know it is not impossible and would be quite easy if I just stick with it!!! add me !!2

Hello! I'm taking steps to make this change for real this time. I've always taken care of everyone else and lost me. I've removed negetive people from my life and now it's time to live this life to the best of my ability. Starting off with 40lbs. I would love to have a buddy in Dallas but support is support.4

So far so good. Highly motivated at this point but I'm sure I'll need a kick in the *kitten* at some point.1 -

Well it's very helpful to have a community full of people who share a common mission with you. So I'm sure you'll have plenty of people to offer a pick-me-up.
My best advice is to flirt with the bounds of your comfort zone when it comes to change. Most people take the jackhammer approach where they try and implement everything all at once, they set crazy expectations, and they crash and burn in a hurry. We're really darn good at losing weight in our culture. Pretty miserable at keeping it off, though.
This is about gently nudging the fat off opposed to doing the equivalent of punching it in the face. Coax rather than force the changes you're trying to make.9 -
You can add me. I started changing my eating habits about a month ago and I have lost 2 lbs of the 40 lbs that I need to lose! How about I just go add you right now!3

You can add me. Began MFP Jun 6th needing to lose 42 lbs. Lost nearly 4 lbs in 4 days, mostly water I am sure but 4 lbs is 4lbs !! Eating as clean as I can - nothing processed. Have also made a weeks worth of meals and have froze them. This is a huge change for me. Feel better already.2

Great job! I've coached 100s of people at this stage and my career and in almost all cases, the most successful people do at least some form of advanced meal prep. Motivation/willpower is fickle. When it's high, it's pretty easy to make quality choices. When it's low, though, meal prep helps a ton. It maintains momentum in spite of how you might be feeling.
Zero processed food, huh? Mind me asking why such an extreme stance toward processed food?

I want to lose 30-40 lbs. I'm a 61-year-old woman. I started an anti-anxiety med about 5 months ago and it seemed like I woke up one morning with 15 extra pounds on my body!!!! My metabolism seems to be nonexistent. I need motivation. I'm starting AGAIN today, which is Friday, but I can't put it off any longer.0
