Must admit I need major motivation!

    Welcome to MFP. It's a great place to get motivation from, I've never kept at it as long as I have sine joining here. I find it helps me to think of it not as a diet, but as a lifestyle change. After all, if you lose the weight and then go right back to eating how you were before then you're going to put it all back on.

    No need to be scared. So far everyone here has been been very supportive and I don't foresee that changing anytime soon.
    Welcome and best of luck to you.

    People on this site are incredibly supportive and friendly. You'll make plenty of friends here and they'll encourage and cheer you on in everything! :)
    Ive just passed my 25th day logging on to MFP and that really says something, since I usually ditch within the week.

    I know how you feel!!! Just know we were all scared to do this. But it is amazing what the public display of honesty will give you in terms of motivation and support returned!!!

    You can do this and we will be here for you as much as you want us to be...
    Sending a friend request your way!

    Its not so bad!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this site! Seriously, has been such a lifesaver because not only did it help me see what i was really putting into my body, it gave me the support from others that i needed to keep going. Whenever i got close to quiting people would always push me to keep going. If you need an accountability

    The really nice thing about this site is that even though it's "public" I can say things here that I wouldn't say to my family and friends about how I'm feeling and what's going on with my journey towards better health and fitness. You'll find that everyone here is very supportive and you'll find lots of people who have gone through, or are going through, the same things you are and can offer some really good advice.

    You will love the site. Its addictive.

    I agree with what everyone has said! Also, no need to cross your fingers, because YOU are in charge of your success here! There's no luck involved! Just keep logging your food and exercise and you'll see results.

    Glad you're here!

    About 5 years ago this website helped me lose 40 lbs! I then had a child, and WAY FELL OFF! I came back to lose 100+ and I'm 4 weeks in. I really love this site, and I'm sure you will too. It is easy to navigate and you will find so many friends on here who are willing to motivate you.

    Keep at it, you can do it.

    Feel free to add me as a friend if you need it!

    The public part of it really helps keep me on track, especially since everyone here is VERY supportive. You can do it!

    Hi I'm fairly new to MFP. I have been logging for a few weeks. It was recommended to introduce myself to get positive feedback.
    I have been fighting with weight all my life, now I'm fighting for my life. I aim to lose 100lbs, no time limit. I am too laid back in my Self-Discipline. I am looking forward to sharing
