in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone. I'm new to this site. I have been trying to lose the same weight for 34 years without success. I hope I can get some encouragement and motivation to stay with it. So far I really like this website. And the blogs I have read are very encouraging.

    I just started using this site the last day or two of August, 2012. I, too, have a long way to go. I think I'm shooting for 175 pounds. It puts me in the range of healthy on the BMI. I don't now how to friend request and such without knowing someone's e'mail. But if anyone knows how to do that, I'd love to travel the road with you. I'm not promising I'll be a good example. I am a carb and protein nut. But my first goal is to document ALL the food, even if it doesn't look good and I go over my calorie alottment. I have to be true and honest! No luck in this journey, so best of luck? no..... A wonderful successful journey to you!!!!

    Hi All
    Ive struggled with weight all my life, decided around 6 weeks ago I needed to lose weight before my walking holiday. That date has now come.... heading off on Friday. I made my goal to lose 14 lbs .... I got there today, it was definitely down to the help I received from friends on here and being able to log down what I was actually eating and how many calories the foods cotained. It wasnt plain sailing there were days when I really went off the rails, I decided to have a sinner day each week, which helped as I never thought I was missing out on what a really fancied.

    I still have a way to go but reaching my first goal and clearlng out those clothes that are too big feels fantastic.

    If anyone would like to add me as a friend, I am glad to help them along the way.

    Keep up the motivation :-)

    I will friend you! I don't have a lot to lose but I admire people who try hard to succeed at this uphill battle. It is hard to lose 10lbs, so I can appreciate what you have to do. I would focus on making small goals (like losing 2-5lbs a week), and be proud of your accomplishments. I found researching books about weight loss that "suited me" was helpful to lose weight, or live a more healthy lifestyle. I adopted a modified vegan lifestyle, but that is just my choice. I will message you the books I liked (easy read) if you are interested. Again, these books might not suit you, you have to find what "speaks" to you for success! Good Luck!
