    You can do it! Everyone is so supportive here and that makes a difference. Sometimes you have bad days, but just start over the next day.

    Welcome and you've made a good choice in joining. I'm glad to see you've decided to begin with walking...add a bit more each few days as you're able to. One of the most important things is to begin logging your meals being very honest. This site makes it easy to adjust and work on making good choices. Still make sure to include small portions of your favorite foods every now and then...just try to fit them into your daily count. If you're constantly hungry, re-evaluate your calories and also learn which healthier foods help you fill up. It's a learning process...but the most important thing is that you're ready to begin! Good luck to you and ask when you need help or support.

    I met a 25 year old girl at my gym who lost 115lbs by using MFP, eating right and working out everyday. She started slowly and gained momentum and now I can't keep up with her. You can do it! We all support each other whether 5 or 100lbs to lose! Stay with it and success follows!

    MFP is a great tool to help make positive decisions on what you put into your body. It works just give it time!

    Good luck, this is also my first post as I decided today was the last Mother's Day I spent on the sidelines. I have young daughters and I want them to have a healthy and most importantly happy mom. I have spent much of their lives not being able to participate in activities they want to do and I want Mother's Day 2014 to be the complete opposite of how today went.

    I'm still rather new myself, but if anyone would like to send me an invite so they don't feel so alone here, please do.

    I've got 105 pounds to go, funny thing is I'm excited to be so close to being under 100 pounds to my goal weight.

    Welcome! I have been doing this for about 6 days now and it's going great. I have a little bit more than you to lose, but I am hopeful that it will happen. Takes time to put on the weight, takes time to take off the weight.

    You need to take it day by day. Some days you will fail but you need to bounce back the next. Add me if you like. Everyone could use more encouragement along the way. Good luck in your journey!!!!

    You can definitely do it! I'm 2 months into my journey and down 48 pounds with 126 remaining. Just take it one day at a time and, if need be, an hour at a time. The cool thing is this does get easier as your motivation mushrooms in size. My first week was awful. I'm now enjoying the process of becoming healthy and each day is welcome. Before March 14th of this year, I lived almost in chronic pain, I was a week away from being placed on statins, metformin, and blood pressure medicine. I could barely walk, more like limp. Everyday of this journey presents another opportunity.
