    You can do it!!!

    Anything is possible once you are determined. I also have 50 lbs I would love to loose and keep it off for good. In the past, I've been able to loose 30lbs and just as the compliments start to pour and my self-esteem goes up and tend to fall off the wagon!

    I'm determined end that cycle once and for all!! I'm not getting any younger and I know the more I wait the harder it will be!

    You can add me, we can give each other motivation.

    I understand that weightloss alone is difficult. My best friend talked me into joining here, because for me newly living single made it very difficult to care or do anything about my weight. I love it on here, and feel so excited to be on here everyday! I like it better than my facebook... Good Luck on your weight loss and feel free to add me if you would like! I am always in need of support and like to share it as well.

    Hi Laura, I'll be your buddy! You can do it. You will be surprised at how easy it is after the first few days/week. Have a goal in mind, it makes the time go quicker. x

    Hi Laura :)

    I'm from Kent and I joined up to MFP yesterday after finding it in the list of iPhone apps. I love it already and am amazed at how good the iPhone app is! If the app is anything to go by then this site will hopefully be amazing!

    Feel free to add me too! :D

    Hi Laura,

    My name is Lisa, I am also 42 and live in the good old UK. I also have promised that 2011 is the year I will lose two stone and keep it off this time.....I have done it before but always allowed it to creep back on!!! I joined on Monday and am finding this all very helpful and motivating....I have just done a power walk with my dog Caffrey (who is quite reluctant as she is approaching her 14th birthday!) and am now about to do the Davina - Power of 3 workout, it's one of her older ones but i think its brilliant....you can't walk after you do it for the first time...but I hate not aching after exercise as it feels as though you haven't done anything. Anyway wish me luck! :tongue:
