    Welcome, and congrats on your decision to take control of your life! I think the key to the whole thing is to hold on to the determination and level of committment you have right now. I started this same thing in March of this year at 338 pounds, and have lost 95 so far. YOU CAN DO IT!!

    For the most part, people on MFP are very encouraging and supportive - but you will run into some d-bags and dont let them get to you. Surround yourself with positive people and make sure that you stay positive! It sounds like you have the right mind set and I hope you can do it! I look forward to seeing your successes! Feel free to friend me if you would like. :flowerforyou:

    Welcome This is a journey well worth taking people ask me alot what my diet is or my secret simple answer to both no diet no secret I changed over years the way I lived and added exercise from a half of my block and back home in the beginning to an occasional 8 miler on the weekend now The only secret I can think of is patience some weeks 5 pounds would drop off and sometimes it would be 5 weeks and a pound lost dont be discouraged or overly smug because just when you think you have this thing down your body can throw you a curve and bite you in the *kitten*
    If you make changes weight loss will happen I am no expert but I have been doing this for me for over 52 months now
    YOU can do this
    Good luck good health and Good Losing

    Hello and welcome. I'm fairly new here; I've only been on the site for a month. But I've found that this place is full of great motivation and support. And I love that I'm held accountable for everything that I do. But in this past month I've lost almost four pounds. That's a lot for me and I know that it's due to MFP.

    It will take time, but you CAN do it. It won't be easy, and sometimes you'll want to give up, but you can do it. I wish you the best of luck with your weight loss goals. Feel free to add me for support or motivation.

    Congrats on taking the first step - you are soooo worth it! It may be easier to set small goals rather than putting one large one so you don't feel overwhelmed. That seems to help me anyway...maybe it will you too.

    Feel free to add me as a friend if you wish and welcome to MFP and for choosing to change your life! KUDOS to you!!

    You CAN do it, I have no doubts about that!!

    Wow. I wasn't expecting this, the warm reception, friend requests, and responses are all overwhelming, and very much appreciated.

    Please bear with me as I try to figure this thing out. I am still trying to switch my profile from female to male?!
