    Hey Jenny, you've come to the right place then as MFP is an excellent motivator.

    I've been a member for a few weeks and I'm now losing the right amount of weight at the right speed, so I really hope you find it works as well for you.

    Ditto to adding me if you're after some MFP friends.

    Good luck.

    I was using another app but found this one about 10 days ago. It is by far the best I have found and I love that you can also participate online. I have found it to be very helpful and have found some support from folks on here. That little boost makes the difference. Feel free to add me if you'd like!! Best of luck :->

    Hi Jenny! I'm in a similar boat (trying to lose about 150 pounds). This site is a great resource and reminder when things get tough, as they inevitably do. But people on here are wonderful! If you'd like some support, feel free to add me and I'll help however I can!

    Welcome to all that I haven't "met" before.

    There is already a group that you might like to check out: Need to lose 100 lbs. or more? Lets start a group! - part 2.

    This is a very supportive and non-judgemental group. We're all in the same boat with the amount of weight we need to lose.

    Check it out, would love to see you all there!

    Hi! Good luck on your journey! I am in the same boat as you. I am 32 (33 in December) and want/need to lose over 100 pounds. That will still put me in the overweight category but at least I would be a lot healthier and happier. A co-worker told me about this site and I have been faithfully logging on for a month now. For the first time in a long time I am actually motivated to lose weight and actually stick with it. From your pictures you look like you have a great fun personality! :-)

    Hey there doll,
    You've come to the right place for motivation and support!
    I've recently lost 90 pounds (10 pounds with myfitnesspal).
    My goal is to lose 10 MORE!
    My starting weight was 271, and its currently 181, feels amazing to be able to go into a store and not have to try any clothes on, and also to order clothes online knowing that they will FIT!
    If I can do this, I know anyone can!!!!
    Takes lots of dedication, lifestyle changes, and hard work!
    I know you can do this!
    Good luck!!!!

    You are definitely not alone. I've got 125 to lose...again. I lost sight of myself somewhere along the way. My advice would be that you can do it - put yourself first and be ready to work on you because you're worth it!
