in Introduce Yourself
So i have had a MFP before but i never committed to it. Well now i am really stepping it up. i am tired of being fat, tired of not being able to do everything i want to do with my child, and im changing for the good... Starting 45 minutes ago!!!! I would love some support, i need all the support i can get! so if you would like to add me i would appreciate it. i have 80lbs to lose, and hoping to lose 16-20 lbs by thanksgiving. that is about 2lbs per week. I know i can do it. I got the totalgym today and it is the best investment i have made so far.. i love it.

    Welcome back and here's to commiting to our goals. :drinker:
    I have just re-commited myself and have about 35 pounds to lose to my goal. This is a hard time of year as a devoted fat kid, but with a little support and some self control we can do it!

    You can add me; I like to help others with their weight loss journey. I've already been there and done that. I lost 35 lbs previously and kept it off for over 4 years. I will send you a friend request.

    You can do it! I joined Weight Watchers in 2008 to lose 80lbs. So far I have lost 50 and was close to 60 lbs lost when I let my weight creep back up a little. Even though, it has taken me longer than I wanted, I still celebrate that I haven't gained the 50 back and that I have made serious improvements in my diet and overall lifestyle. Keep up the good work!!!

    I'm ready, too. I have over 70 pounds to lose. I am a 46-year-old single mom, and I want to be around and be healthy to be with my son. I started on Saturday, and I am already feeling more alert and that I'm sleeping better. I love all the data...especially on the nutritional profile of what I'm eating. I'm in this for the long haul, and would be glad to encourage and have some encouragement!
