    I agree with everyone else..........we are all in the same boat one way or another some of us just have more weight to lose than others but we all need support and encouragement along the way.........keep me in mind if you need a friend. I am sick of the roller coaster dieting and could use the support from others too.......those who love me keep telling me I am fine just the way I am but I don't feel fine and want to change the way I look -- so if we all stick together we CAN and WILL make this happen! have a great day

    You can do it! We will all be here to support you! I have been over weight pretty much my whole life and I recently had a baby so now i have an extra 10 pounds added on ( I gained 25 pounds with my pregnancy and have not been able to budge the last 10, not even a little bit!) I have about 110 pounds to loose, but this site is great! I also work in the healthcare field at a nursing home actually as an occupational therapist. Healthcare can be a very stressful career and at least for me I tend to eat when I am stressed or when I am charting on patients at the computer in the afternoon. You can add me if you want. :happy:

    Do your best. Listen carefully to the experts and do your best to follow what they tell you on the path to a healthy life. When you have an occassional stumble, be kind to yourself. Brush yourself off and start again. You did not get unhealthy in one day, so you cannot fix all problems in one day. But you can BEGIN NOW. Very, very exciting for you. Go get 'em girl.

    I love to hear about people like you that have a plan to change because I've been there myself.

    I'm 16 years old and weigh about 45 pounds more than I should. I've failed countless times, but I just have to get back up and keep going.

    I would love to be a motivation and supporter to you because that is exactly what I wanted when I started my weight loss.

    Wanna hear a secret? Weight loss is 8x more effective when taken in small increments. I was just planning on decreasing my goal to a more reachable one today and it might be beneficial if you do the same :) Don't get me wrong; losing 190 pounds is an AMAZING goal, but sometimes it can be depressing to not see the results as large as we would like. Just an idea!

    Good luck and I hope and know you will do FABULOUS with the help of myfitnesspal!

    Hey! Welcome to MFP! I started here I think 3 weeks ago, and I know what it feels like to be chubby all your life. I have always been big, and can not remember the last time I was ever smaller than I am now. We both need a lifestyle change, and signing up on here is one of the best things a person can do. We both have a long way to go on our weight loss journey's but I know we can do it! Add me, and together along with other MFP members we can get through this. (:
