Hello Gidget,
One guy I'd recommend you leverage as a supplement to MFP is Mr. Zig Ziglar. He's been my hero for the last 6 years or so, as down to earth motivational speaker, I've benefitted from his wisdom in many ways. One of his axioms is, "Changing the picture", or the picture or vision we have of ourselves. He suggests changing your picture to who you once were in HS, when maybe you were at a very good weight, or if not, cut out a picture from a magazine of someone you'd like to look like, and then let that person become your new hero. From there, you can leverage MFP to get there, at a very safe, 2LBs per week. He also has a "goals program", which is a basic system for achieving goals that really works. A simple one for you is that in one year from now, you can weigh 112 less LBS. So find out what day is 56 weeks from now, and write it down in print, of what you'll weigh on that day. Put this in a place where you can see it regularly, perhaps right along side of the picture of your hero, and let those two images drive you to success. Lastly, surround yourself with people that will support and not disuade you. You can do this, so as long as you change your thinking and your picture about who you can and will be.
Great luck to you,

Hello all,
My name is Rachel. Today is my 5th day logging in and I'm seeing some results alreadyI've lost 3.2 pounds so far
I'm not someone who really sticks to things unless I see the results.. But I have a hard time finding motivation to get up and workout. I really want to stick to this because it's helping me be healthy..
Any suggestions for someone like me?
