    I'll send you a friend request. :) I new to this website too and need more friends to give me a hard time about my food diary. ;) I really don't know what's healthy, so I'm not following any type of diet plan. Suggestions welcome! I am hypothyroid, so losing weight is a real struggle for me. I want to lose about 50 lbs. I am 5'6 and I weigh about 200lbs. I want to get down to 150lbs.

    Well you have already got the right attitude by stating that you WILL not TRY. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like. I am always looking for people to motivate me and vice versa. Welcome to MFP! :-)

    My goal is currently to lose 50 pounds but closer to 100 would be great! I'll send you a friend request shortly.

    Friend request sent as well - the more friends on here the better, I've found - positive reinforcement from others is always useful.

    You can and will do this. I am here to help if I can. I started this over a year ago by myself after visiting our daughter. I started to keep track of everything I ate. I weighed, measure and wrote it all each day. I only weighed in once a week. I never thought I could do this fo more than a few days. I lost almost 45 pounds in about seven months. So I thought I could do this without my journal.
    But that didn'd work too well. So I am back to weighing, measuring and journaling again. So keep positive and remember you CAN do this.

    You can add me if you like; I would like to be friends.

    I am in the same predicament, with similar goals. I weigh about 200lbs; and would like to lose at least 30 pounds. This task has been damn near impossible. I don’t know how to get motivated, or stay motivated. I have a husband and two kids, and I'm in graduate school. Trying to find time is always a never ending story.

    If you can provide tips on where to start, and what to do. That would be great. I'll keep you posted!

    Journaling has helped me more than anything. I weigh,measure and write down everything I eat each day. It helps keep me honest, and I also post here. pPus I am older than you and it is harder to do. You :smile can do this. :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:
