in Introduce Yourself
Hey all! I was hoping to get some support from some people. I am doing this weight loss journey for the most part on my own and it is so difficult! If anyone can give me some words of encouragement and some support and to be friends then that would be awesome to know that there are people out there going through the same thing that I am! :)

    This is only my second day.. I'm a mother to six (9,7,6,4, and 2 year old twins). I started my weight loss journey at the beginning of the year and got off track.. got back on track at the beginning of August and then found this site! I can say in just two days I have found great motivation and even greater inspiration.. If you (anyone) don't mind a lot of updating and lots of encouragement feel free to add me!!

    Today for example.. I wanted a cupcake.. I mean really wanted one.. There are 4 sitting on my counter top in the kitchen.. With just a few comments on my "Tell me not to eat that cupcake" post I was able to not eat it! There are still 4 cupcakes in my kitchen.. Not eating a cupcake is huge for me as 1)I was really sick today and just wanted some comfort food and 2) It's TOM for me and chocolate is what I WANTED! But I resisted all thanks to my new huge circle of friends I made!

    Hey Kibby....I started this journey about a month ago. I had 100 pounds to lose. I have lost 13 so far. I am finding that this site is a huge help. For once I am not doing a fad diet I am just learning what calories are in what foods....and then trying to find healthier ways to eat that I can live with on a permanent basis. I have struggled with weight all my life. I think that this might actually work but I have to get below 230 to prove it to myself.

    Good luck! I have been using MFP for 5 1/2 months and am down 26 lbs. You can do it, you just have to want it. I finally really want it and it is happening. My daughter is down 35 lbs and is my biggest supporter. I would love to have more supporters and people to support.
