    Carolina,

    You've come to the right place! There are lots a great supportive people on the site to cheer you on and guide you. I have 100 lbs to lose too. I have only been on here for 35 days but I've lost 16 lbs so far. I get inspiration from the friends I have met on here. When I look at their food diary, or exercise log it makes me want to eat better and get more exercise. Log everything every day, post every day, and blog if you can cuz it really helps!

    You can add me if you like, I'll send you a request. Best of luck to you! Your already heading in the right direction!

    I agree. I was a middle of the road exerciser and 6 months ago I found this free app and it has changed my life. I log 99% of the food I eat. I'm striving for 100%. I've lost 4 lbs and looking to lose 10 more the healthy way. Eating right, watching my diet and exercise. No tricks or gimmicks.

    Best first tip - track EVERYTHING you ingest. Do not lie about it - you are only lying to yourself, and the mirror is the ultimate truth-teller. Just log it. Don't feel guilty about what you've had, just use the information to make better choices moving forward. If you cheat, binge, fall off the wagon, pig out, whatever you want to call it - enter it anyways, figure out what prompted the slip, and work on correcting that situation. But log it all.

    Welcome to MFP! You will totally love this site, I'm on here a couple times a day. I find when I have lots of friends, and see them getting their exercise in and losing weight it really motivates me to do the same!! Good luck on your journey, you can add me if you'd like.

    You have come to the right place!! The support here is amazing and I have to say I have met one of the most awesome, amazing, supportive friends that I have in my life now. I am so thankful that I came across mfp and that I was lucky enough to accept a friend request from him because he will forever be a part of my life. Biggest tip I have to you is to NOT give up when you have a bad day because we all have them. Just get right back on the wagon!! You can do this and we are here to help!

    I will be 22 very soon (Sep 3) I have struggled with weight everyday it seems. I have gained 10 lbs in the last year and just don't feel good about myself. I wish I could close my eyes and wish it away but it doesn;t work that easy. Today I thought about giving myself a reward if I reached my 10lb loss goal. Perhaps that CD I really want or those new jeans that I know don't fit me right now. Losing weight is a reward of it self but this might keep me on tract. Stay focused your health is the most important thing you can do for yourself. Nothing else matters.

    Hello! I'm 26 and working on losing 75 lbs. I've been working a very sedentary job for the past year with a long commute and was feeling very lazy so I'm working for several hours a day before and after work. I've been fighting with my weight my whole life and finally feel like I'm starting to make some significant progress with the help of the MFP community. Feel free to add me as a friend and we can help motivate each other to keep moving forward!
