It's Amazing What a difference Support can make!

Every time I've tried to lose weight I've never really gotten a whole lot of support, and it's not long before I go back to my old eating habits and laziness. However, this go around my beautiful, wonderful sister has been there every day of my journey. She even joined this website to further support me. She texts me asking about my work outs, calories, and mind set. I can't say how much easier this has made my journey. There are some days I feel like giving up and she'll send me an email of an amazing weight loss story just to keep me motivated. I don't I can express how much this means to me. Having someone actually care, and support me while I make one of the biggest life changes I've ever made. Down 6lbs and now I know I can do the other 70! Thank you so much 13KDizzle, you mean so much to me!!!

And for all of you out there who don't have the support from friends and family, my sincerest sympathies are with you, but I encourage you to make a MFP member your weight loss family. You CAN do this! You ARE worth it!! You are STRONGER than you give yourself credit for!
Let's Do this together!! We're all in the same boat, we know what you're going through, we know the strugles you face, we know how hard it is to look in the mirror and not love yourself.

If you find yourself wanting to quit because no one seems to care, PLEASE reconsider, add me as a friend, I may not know you in real life, but I know your struggles better than others in your life do. I care and want you to succeed!

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

The support plays a key role in this journey

I find that the support of this group and reading posts and success stories helps keep me positive and motivated when I am not really feeling it. I am very lucky to have a supportive hubby. He has been AMAZING!! (I figured that if a group to support me helped when I was getting out of debt then a group to support me losing weight would work too... and it does!)

I hope you are right! I haven't really been active in anything like this before and I would like to have a support system here. I am trying to acheive really tough goals--being in the best shape of my life, losing thirty - forty pounds, becoming a better runner, becoming a faster swimmer, but I don't know if I can do it. Feel free to add me, the more support we can all give each other, the better!

Good luck to you!!

I'm with you there on the tough goals! I've given myself 1 year to lose 78 lbs, but more importantly I want to be healthy! I've signed up for a triathlon next April, and I have a long way to go to get there, because I'm no picture of health, but I want to be!
