I have stumbled into this place called My Fitness Pal, and I have found Hope.... And I haven't felt that for a very long time. I have lost 1 little pound in the last two days. I vow that I will never put that one pound back on. It is gone forever! So it is no longer just a little thing....it becomes a BIG DEAL! That is worth celebrating. 1 down...99 to go! For the first time in a long time, I feel like I can do it! :)

    Welcome! This is a great place and the support here is amazing. Personally I know it and the people here are what have kept me going when I have wanted to quit. The ups and downs of the journey are so much more manageable when you know you are not alone!
    Feel free to friend me.

    This site is so helpful and the support is amazing! You can do it, a positive attitude will help you no end. Set yourself mini goals and then when you make them, the sense of achievement is wonderful! It'll be a long journey, but so worth it! Feel free to add me :)
