    This is my first time looking at the forums. Sounds like a good idea. I am too much of a loner lately. I joined Inches-A-Weigh last month but I work a full time and part time job so I don't always make it in to work out as often as Id like. I try to at least go 3 times a week. I do the tables then either 1 hour Zumba or 30 minutes treadmill. My progress is slow because I don't like enough veggies and I'm often not interested in eating so my metabolism is very slow. My downfall is carbs.

    Good Luck to you all!!! :bigsmile:

    6 pounds is great! If you feel like it's not a lot, pick up a 5 pound weight, or some grocery item or whatever that weighs five pounds and tell yourself, ok, I lost this much plus some. Then you realize how much it really is even if the number seems small!

    Feel free to add me, anyone. :) Always looking for motivation and people to "*****" with.

    Hello everyone! I am in desperate need of support, encouragement and help. I have let myself go, and the only excuse is, thanks to a bad marriage, I gave up on me! And now I recently looked in the mirror and was horrified by what I saw! My youngest daughter is getting married in September and I DO NOT want to be known as the "fat mother of the bride"! I do good on MFP somedays and others, not so much. I am in an area that does not have a gym and in my job, I am on call for the operating room quite a bit, so I have to be within 20 minutes of the hospital. I love to walk, but here, it's all ups and down hills, which if my pager went off, I'd never make it in time! For health reasons I know I need to loose at least 100lbs and I know it won't be by September, but any support, encouragement and help would be eternally grateful! I've lost a grand total of 9lbs in the past 3 months, but have been a member almost a year! I get discouraged doing this alone......

    I've been using myftinesspal since March and I can't do it alone anymore. I did manage to lose a few pounds (6) but, I just don't have anyone pushing me to stay under my calorie count. I also need a little push to go out and exercise, otherwise I'll just end up sitting in front of the television or PS3 eating snacks. Please help.

    Posting on the forums is the way to find friends. Feel free to add me & good luck! :smile:

    One way to encourage you to get moving via exercise is to know that the more you exercise the more calories you burn which in essence gives you more calories to eat.... SO YOU DON'T GO OVER! Another thing that gets me going is knowing that I need to workout more than 250 minutes per week in order to effectively lose weight which in the end gives you MORE calories to indulge in (but still remain under).... good luck with everything! And add me as a friend!
