in Introduce Yourself
Well I began MFP 5 days ago weighing inat 195, and could use some support. I feel as though I am meeting my goals/watching what I eat, smaller portions, I even began running! I have 3 kids who are very active and sometimes it is difficult to do the right thing. I am going to Disney at the end of November and have a short term goal of losing 15 pounds. I keep asking myself, can it be done? When will I see results? How can I stay motivated if I don't see results right away? I think it would help if I could find a great support group here through MFP! Thanks!!! Rebecca

    Roreca YOU CAN DO THIS !!!! It is great that you set a short term goal, I'm not an expert but I know its very excited when you see you reach you goal in a short time rather than waiting for months to reach your goal if not more. The support here is great and I will sure be keeping my eye on YOU ;) so keep going and don't even think on quiting ((hugs))

    Really ....... after 5 days ?

    Look, your body has to realize that you are serious ....... because it's playing with you right now ....... it WANTS you to give up !

    Keep eating healthy & move more each day ...... don't whine, don't complain ..... JUST DO IT !

    You'll see results soon ...... have faith !

    And now's the time to take your "before" pictures & write down your measurements ..... because before too long you'll be wanting to share them with us :drinker:

    I think you might have misunderstood my post. I know I won't see results for a while, that is why I want the support because I am afraid I might lose the motivation. Thanks for the pep talk, and yes picture is coming soon (I just seem to forget when I actually have the photo opportunity.)

    Hi Rebecca, nice to see you on MFP =) I just started using this website yesterday and I hope I can find a great support group too. I lost about 70 pounds before by myself but then I got unmotivated again and grew back about 20 pounds again. So now I am looking for new ways to help me keep motivated. You can add me as friend if you want so that way we can motivate each other =)
