    Welcome! I'm sure you can do it. Just remember to take it one day at a time, and make small changes. Any improvement is better than none.

    I joined myself very recently, and have found reading through the "community" threads daily gives me inspirations, and focus. On a few mornings I have woke up and thought not today, but after a read through with my morning cuppa.

    seems to draw me back into the right frame of mind!

    I am not dieting, I have more then 100lbs to lose, have lost 60 so far (mfp I started after I started my journey). I just try to make better choices and this help me remember to portion and pay attention to what I chose. I am a christian and chose to do and say what glorifies God. would love to take this journey with you. so add me if I am the kinda person that you would like to have as a friend

    Hello. I just joined myself. I'm hoping to drop some pounds for this coming winter so I have some halfway decent christmas pictures to post. I didn't dare post my last christmas pics. What a wake up call. Add me if you would like and hopefully we can motivate each other. :)

    Welcome to MFP! If you are indeed ready to begin this journey, you will find MFP very helpful. You will have a great support group and being able to track everything you put in your mouth will help tremendously. I have 100+ to lose and have already lost 16lbs in a month and a half...

    If I can be of any assistance, holla at me :bigsmile:
