Not a newbie but still have a lot to lose, about the 75lb mark also. Sounds like you're already determined mentally and I found that was the biggest obstacle.

Have fun and also a bit of patience

Hi I am also a newbie. My partner & myself are doing it together.

Good luck everyone. Keep up the fantastic work.

You sound much like myself!! Welcome and please add me if you want! Support is the hardest thing I find about losing weight. My fiance is very supportive with words, but is a bit lacking in actions....he still buys junkfood and brings it home, which I find hard. So I often find myself lurking these message boards, trying to find some will power to resist!

Congrats and good luck!

I started here last year about this time and got lazy. I found a picture of myself from about 10 years ago when I was a size 4. I have offically decided that I will lose this weight and get there again. Feel free to add me and we can help each other stay on track. God knows I need a little help

Feel free to add me. I've lost 84 pounds, it took a year, and now I'm maintaining. MFP is a great way to accomplish your goal!

Hi mybodyproject,

I hear you on this, so here's my first post ever.

I'm 43 yo, married, working mom.
I don't have HBP but would like to fend off diabetes.
I really don't want to buy more clothes.
I'm want to be done with feeling tired and creaky all the time.

Hopefully we can help each other keep motivated.
