    Welcome to MFP and good luck on your journey!
  • I'm sure you can do it, just keep your goal in mind and don't let anyone or anything get in your way. You control who you are and you can be what you want to be. Just keep your head up, keep your goal focused and believe in yourself
  • I am sending you a friend request. I am in Killeen, Texas. I have been on the site 25 days and findmost people to be very supportive and encouraging.
  • For me? The best thing I did was get on this site. Tracking everything I put in my mouth for the day keeps me in check——-no cheating what so ever! It gives me an accurate account of what I am and am not doing……. Now I did the banana thing that is showing up on the right. I didn’t order the cook books at the end……. now I have to figure out how to get BACK to the site to do my metabolism checker. I am 58 so it does slow down!

    Good luck and just put in your foods religiously into the app on your phone or on here and then partner up with someone else with the app and share diarys

    Good morning from Maryland! I am also new to MFP. My goal is to loose 20lbs by end of December, so we have similar goals it seems! I too could use the motivation and support, so please feel free to reach out to me anytime! You CAN do it...the first step is always the hardest. Maybe we can "check in" with each other and share successes and obstacles once a week? Best of luck to you on your journey!-Laney

    Hi Everyone,
    I just joined today. I am looking forward to being part of this motivating community.
    Please feel free to add me as a friend. It may be fate, that we started around the same time and it would be so nice to be able to provide regular support to each other now and throughout our journey.

    Welcome, ill add you as a friend. I just got back on board. We need all the support and encouragement we can get.
  • Hi, I am quite far away geographically from you-I'm from Scotland-but our goals are close together. I started at 27lb to lose for Christmas and still have 22lb to go. The last two weeks have been particularly tricky as there has been a whole series of special events and I am hoping starting back at work tomorrow will get me back on track. I am planning to be a 'Christmas Cracker' this year, instead of a 'Christmas Pudding!' You will too.
  • Hi - I need more motivation to and would to lose about that much weight by xmas to. Lets help each other. :bigsmile: I am from Ontario, Canada by the way.

    Hiya, I am not new to mpf, I've been using it for 13 months (before that on and off but seriously stuck with it since July 2011) and so far lost 80 pounds. Kinda stuck at a plateau at the moment but I'm staying positive.

    As for using the site for 13 months, I am pretty new to the forums...I have maybe 5-6 posts? Lol, I don't tend to hit the forums often but recently I added a couple new friends and all the encouragement is very helpful and rewarding, as is the giving compliments and motivating, etc so add me if you'd like and I'm proud of everyone new and veterans of the site, this site is most definitely a good step towards a better you, it has for me :)
  • How is the journey going?
  • I am 52 YO and have done online Weight Watchers. Got away from it and weight went right back on. Calorie counting and exercise - it's the only thing that works! You can do it. Challenge yourself.
